    This study reviews intervertebral disc prostheses, focusing on fixation methods. A modified prosthesis design allows for bone integration, offering a new fixation possibility.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Spinal Fusion

    Background:

    • Intervertebral disc degeneration is a common cause of back pain.
    • Current prosthetic solutions for disc replacement often rely on bone cement fixation.
    • Bone cement can have limitations, including potential for loosening and adverse tissue reactions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review existing intervertebral disc prostheses and their fixation methods.
    • To introduce a modified intervertebral disc prosthesis design.
    • To explore the potential of osteointegration for prosthetic fixation.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of previous studies on intervertebral disc prostheses.
    • Analysis of prosthetic designs, including fixation techniques.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Conceptualization of a modified prosthesis for osteointegration.

    • Main Results:

    • Identified four distinct intervertebral disc prostheses in prior literature.
    • Highlighted one prosthesis utilizing bone cement for fixation.
    • Proposed a modification enabling prosthesis fixation through osteointegration.

    Conclusions:

    • Osteointegration presents a promising alternative fixation method for intervertebral disc prostheses.
    • The modified prosthesis design warrants further investigation for clinical application.
    • Advancements in prosthetic fixation could improve outcomes in spinal surgery.
