Artificial Disc Replacement Surgery
Sir John Charnley revolutionized
orthopedics in 1960 by performing a total hip replacement surgery. Also at
that time, the first advancements in the field of artificial disc
replacement were being made. In spite of the initial interest in the
procedure, spinal fusion continued to be the gold standard of back
treatment. However, due to the complications associated with spinal
fusion, interest in artificial disc replacement (ADR) surgery resurfaced
in the 1990s. This surgery replaces the worn-away disc and preserves the
movement of the operated vertebral segment. In doing so, this not only
treats the underlying backache but also protects the patient from the
development of problems in adjacent vertebrae.
As with any surgery, a critical step
to avoid any complications is the careful screening of patients by the
surgeon. If you are interested in artificial disc replacement surgery,
