Description
An artificial cervical disc is a medical implant designed to replace a damaged or degenerated disc in the cervical spine—the neck region of your backbone. It’s used in a procedure called cervical disc replacement (CDR) or cervical arthroplasty, which aims to relieve pain and restore mobility without resorting to spinal fusion.
Features
- The physical structure of the device consists of Titanium alloy inferior and superior pieces
- TiN coating avoids wear
Key Benefits of Titanium Cervical Disc Replacement
Biocompatibility & Safety
Titanium is highly biocompatible, reducing the risk of inflammatory response or rejection.
Allergic reactions are extremely rare, making it suitable for most patients.
Durability & Longevity
Titanium resists corrosion, wear, and fatigue, ensuring long-term structural integrity.
It maintains strength at the bone-metal interface, which is critical for load-bearing and motion.
Bone Integration
Titanium promotes osseointegration, encouraging bone growth around the implant.
This enhances implant stability and reduces the risk of migration or loosening over time.
Motion Preservation
Unlike fusion, titanium disc replacements preserve natural neck movement, improving function and reducing adjacent segment degeneration.
Patients often experience faster recovery and less postoperative stiffness compared to fusion procedures.
Clinical Outcomes
Patients generally report satisfaction post-surgery, with significant relief from neck and arm pain.
Titanium implants are often used in single-level disc degeneration between C4–C7, where motion preservation is most beneficial.
