Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Spine Surgery
  • Biomaterials

Background:

  • Degenerative disc disease impacts many aging individuals.
  • Traditional surgical treatment involves fusion, which can lead to adjacent segment degeneration.
  • Lumbar disc arthroplasty presents a motion-preserving alternative.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of lumbar disc arthroplasty.
  • To discuss the history, indications, biomechanics, challenges, and future directions of the procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Review of historical development of lumbar disc replacement implants.
  • Analysis of biomechanical properties and clinical outcomes of third-generation implants.
  • Discussion of patient selection criteria and surgical indications.

Main Results:

  • Lumbar disc arthroplasty has evolved significantly since the 1960s.
  • Third-generation implants demonstrate improved biomechanics and clinical results.
  • Motion preservation is a key advantage, potentially reducing adjacent segment degeneration.

Conclusions:

  • Lumbar disc arthroplasty is an acceptable surgical alternative for select patients with degenerative disc disease.
  • Further research is needed to assess long-term durability.
  • The procedure offers a valuable option within the surgical armamentarium.
