Advanced Disc Replacement

For decades, cervical disc replacement has focused on one primary goal: preserving motion.

At the Hoag Orthopedic Institute Spine Symposium, I presented new clinical and biomechanical data demonstrating that motion preservation and alignment restoration may not have to be separate goals. The Synergy Disc® was designed to address both through a single implant, with results showing significant improvements in pain, function, and cervical alignment.

The future of cervical arthroplasty is not simply about maintaining movement. It is about restoring motion while accounting for the biomechanics of the entire cervical spine.

When multiple levels of your spine are fused, you're asking the remaining mobile segments to work overtime. Those adjacent segments bear increased stress with every bend, twist, and movement you make.

Each fusion restricts your spine's natural motion, and each restriction impacts your ability to live the active life you want. For patients in their 30s, 40s, and 50s, this can mean decades of progressive limitations and repeated procedures.

Motion-preserving alternatives, such as artificial disc replacement, deserve serious consideration over fusion. ADR maintains your spine's natural flexibility while addressing the source of your pain, protecting adjacent segments from premature degeneration.
