Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion can lead to adjacent segment disease. The Prestige cervical disc replacement preserves motion and shows excellent clinical outcomes, potentially reducing adjacent segment issues.

Area of Science:

  • Spine surgery
  • Biomedical engineering
  • Orthopedic surgery

Background:

  • Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is a common treatment for cervical spondylosis.
  • While effective short-term, ACDF can negatively impact spinal biomechanics.
  • There is a need for improved long-term outcomes and reduced complications.

Observation:

  • Cervical arthrodesis alters normal spinal biomechanics.
  • Adjacent segment degeneration is a known complication of cervical fusion.
  • The Prestige cervical disc replacement aims to address these limitations.

Findings:

  • The Prestige cervical disc replacement preserves spinal motion.
  • Experimental and clinical studies demonstrate the device's effectiveness.

  • Long-term data indicates excellent durability and patient outcomes.

    • Implications:

    • Cervical disc replacement offers an alternative to fusion for cervical spondylosis.
    • Preserving motion may mitigate adjacent segment disease.
    • The Prestige device represents a significant advancement in cervical spine reconstruction.
