It is with great enthusiasm that we announce the latest advancement in our product line: The Prodisc C Cervical Prosthesis has just arrived!
But what exactly is cervical arthroplasty? Cervical arthroplasty is a modern technique that involves replacing the intervertebral disc with a disc prosthesis. Its main characteristic is to maintain movement in the cervical spine, in contrast to cervical fusion, which immobilizes it.
Advantages of Cervical Arthroplasty:
Preservation of Mobility: The main advantage of cervical arthroplasty is to maintain the mobility of the cervical spine, which is not possible with fusion surgery.
Reduction of Overload: By preserving mobility, cervical arthroplasty reduces the overload on adjacent segments of the spine, minimizing the risk of herniated discs and osteophytes (bone spurs).
Minimization of Post-Surgical Stiffness: The technique minimizes post-surgical stiffness, allowing for a more comfortable and quicker recovery for the patient.
Elimination of the Need for Grafting: Unlike fusion, cervical arthroplasty eliminates the need for bone fusion grafts, simplifying the procedure and reducing associated risks.
We are excited about the benefits that the Prodisc C cervical prosthesis will bring to our patients and healthcare professionals. Contact us to learn more about this exciting innovation!
