ProDisc Lumbar

ProDisc is a Total Disc Replacement (TDR) technology platform that offers a surgical alternative to fusion to qualified patients suffering from disc degeneration in the cervical and lumbar spine. ProDisc implants are intended to relieve pain while allowing the potential for motion at the diseased spinal segment.

ProDisc Clinical History

The first generation ProDisc lumbar implant was first implanted in a human in 1990.The implant design was refined based on early clinical experience, and the current generation ProDisc-L implant was introduced outside the United States in 1999. It was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in the United States in August 2006.

The ProDisc-C implant was developed based on the same design principles as the ProDisc-L implant. The first ProDisc-C Total Disc Replacement surgery was performed in Europe in 2002. It was approved by the FDA for use in the United States in December 2007.

Features:

• ProDisc-C and ProDisc-L share the same proven design features.
• Ball and Socket:Controlled, predictable motion
• Central Keel:Primary fixation
• Titanium Coating:Secondary fixation
• CoCrMo/Poly:Proven arthroplasty materials
• Zero Profile:Profile within the disc space

About Lumbar Artificial Disc

Artificial disc replacement (ADR) is newer type of spinal disc procedure that utilizes an anterior (front – through the abdominal region) approach to replace a painful, arthritic, worn-out intervertebral disc of the lumbar spine with a metal and plastic prosthesis (artificial disc). Artificial disc replacement is primarily considered for patients with isolated 1-level (one disc only) degenerative disc disease. Prior to the development of ADR, spinal fusion was the principal treatment for painful degenerative disc disease that failed to improve with nonoperative management. ADR is generally NOT recommended for patients with spinal fractures, instability, neurologic compression, or multiple level degenerative disc disease – spinal fusion remains the treatment of choice for these conditions. The advantages of ADR include a faster recovery time than spinal fusion and preserved motion at the disc level. The theoretical long-term advantage of ADR, which remains unproven, is the possibility of decreased adjacent level stress and arthritis compared with spinal fusion.
