  • The discs are soft cushions between each vertebra and the bones make up the spinal column.
  • This isa new alternative procedure compared to the spinal fusion as it helps patients who have back pain. The aim of total disc replacement is to replace the damaged or diseased painful disc, while it restores motion to the spine.
  • During the procedure, the surgeon will make a cut near the belly button where the organs and blood vessels are carefully moved to increase access to the spine. The surgeon will remove the diseased disc and the disc space is allotted to receive a new artificial disk.
  • Finally, the metal endplates of the implant are inserted and tapped in the correct position and the sliding polyethylene core is inserted between the endplates.
