Cervical disc replacement (CDR) has low reoperation rates, comparable to fusion. Careful patient selection and surgical technique are key to minimizing complications and future interventions.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Spinal Surgery

Background:

  • Cervical disc replacement (CDR) is an alternative to cervical arthrodesis.
  • Increasing CDR use leads to device/aging spine complications, necessitating revision strategies.
  • Management and surgical revision of CDR complications present new challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Review literature on reoperations following CDR.
  • Discuss approaches and solutions for current/future CDR complications.
  • Identify strategies to reduce adverse events and future interventions.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of reoperation, revision, and removal rates after CDR.
  • Comparison of CDR complication rates with cervical arthrodesis.

  • Analysis of surgical interventions for CDR complications.

    • Main Results:

    • Published reoperation (1.0%), revision (0.2%), and removal (1.2%) rates for CDR are low.
    • CDR complication rates are comparable to cervical arthrodesis.
    • Surgical interventions range from repositioning to explantation and fusion.

    Conclusions:

    • Strict patient selection, preoperative planning, and surgical technique minimize CDR adverse events.
    • Limited literature exists on revision/removal techniques for CDR implants.
    • Long-term studies are needed on implant survivorship and its impact on revision/removal rates.
