Cervical Disc Replacement VS. Spinal Fusion
The Benefits of Cervical Disc Replacement vs. Fusion Surgery
At NJSS, we favor cervical disc replacements instead of spinal fusion surgery. The advantages of disc replacement over fusion include:
Quicker recovery times
Preserved range of motion in the neck
Reduced neck pain
Decreased degeneration of adjacent discs
Improved spinal stability and alignment
While cervical artificial disc replacement proves effective for reducing neck and arm pain from compressed nerve roots or spinal cord, there is limited long-term data beyond 10 years. The choice between disc replacement and fusion involves considering the potential long-term impacts on the spine and overall mobility.
See If You’re a Candidate for Cervical Disc Replacement Surgery
During your initial consultation, the surgeons at NJSS will determine whether you qualify for a cervical disc replacement. In most cases, the ideal candidate:
- Has degenerative disc disease that has not responded to conservative treatment
- Is at a stable weight and in good general health
- Has one or two damaged discs
