Spinal Disc Replacement - Results

After the procedure, the spinal disc prosthesis - in a successful operation - typically assumes the location and functionality of a natural spinal disc. In this way, the stability of the affected spinal segment is maintained. In contrast to spinal joint fusion, the prosthesis has the advantage of retaining flexibility. Neighboring spinal discs are no longer burdened thanks to the prosthesis. Depending on one's situation prior to the procedure, you can expect a substantial reduction in pain. Some patients also report complete freedom from previous pains. Because the worn-out cartilage tissue no longer exerts pressure on the spinal cord, sensitivity and motor function problems are largely overcome.^1,8,10
