Four Level Cervical Disc Replacement Case
81 year old active woman who loves to hike presented with numbness in hands and was found to have spinal stenosis with spinal cord compression at 4 levels.
Pre-operative MRI and CT demonstrates spinal stenosis with spinal cord compression from disc degeneration and bone spurs at four levels.
Pre-operative X-Rays show partially collapsed discs at C3-4, C4-5, C5-6 and C6-7.
Post-operative X-Rays show artificial disc replacement (ADR) using ProDisc Vivo at C3-4, C4-5 and C5-6 and ADR at C6-7 using ProDisc Legacy. This demonstrates how new cutting edge technology allows us to “custom-fit” the implant to each patient.
(Disclaimer: ProDisc Vivo is only FDA approved for single level use)
