Cervical Artificial Disc Replacement (ADR)

A cervical artificial disc replacement is a device that is placed into the intervertebral disc space instead of a bone graft after the disc is removed with the goal of retaining as much normal motion as possible while keeping the motion segment stable. The theoretical advantages are to reduce the incidence of adjacent segment degeneration while maintaining normal neck motion, the elimination of bone graft donor site complications and possible disease transmission from donor bone graft, and early neck motion without bracing requirements.
