Artificial Disc Replacement

Artificial cervical disc replacement is a motion-preserving surgical procedure used to treat damaged or herniated discs in the neck. Unlike fusion, it replaces the disc with a prosthetic implant, maintaining natural neck movement. This procedure can relieve nerve compression, reduce pain, and help patients return to normal activities more quickly.

Motion Preservation Surgery

Motion Preservation Spine Surgery (MPSS) is a relatively new surgical method employed as an alternative to standard spinal surgeries, such as spinal fusion surgery and disc replacement surgery. It refers to a variety of surgical techniques and specialized devices that aim at preservation of spine movement to replicate normal or near-normal biomechanics.
