Abstract

Cervical total disc replacement is a routinely used treatment for radiculopathy due to degenerative disease of the cervical spine. The procedure originated to avoid some of the complications seen with the traditional anterior cervical discectomy and fusion. Appropriate patient selection is paramount to obtain acceptable patient outcomes, with particular indications and contraindications for these procedures. As the procedure gained more acceptance, several cervical artificial discs have been developed and, subsequently, approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Each of the eight FDA-approved devices is briefly reviewed in this chapter including outcomes from device-specific studies.
