Cervical Spine Surgery – Artificial Disc for Degeneration
Advanced Technology Resolves Cervical Spine Issues, Restoring Daily Vitality
A 38-year-old patient with a desk-bound job experienced worsening C5/C6 cervical disc degeneration (HIVD), resulting in nerve root and spinal cord compression. Symptoms included neck pain, arm numbness, and hand weakness, severely affecting work and daily life. After thorough consideration, the patient opted for artificial cervical disc replacement (ADR). During the procedure, the degenerated disc was replaced with an artificial disc, relieving nerve compression while maintaining the cervical spine’s natural range of motion. The patient quickly recovered and resumed work within two days, with significant symptom improvement.
