Artificial Disc Replacement Surgery
Artificial Disc Replacement (ADR) is a modern surgical procedure used to treat severe disc problems in the spine, most often caused by degenerative disc disease. Unlike spinal fusion, which eliminates motion at the affected level, ADR replaces the damaged disc with an artificial implant that preserves natural movement while relieving pain and pressure on nearby nerves.
How Artificial Disc Replacement Works
During surgery, the damaged spinal disc is carefully removed and replaced with a specialized artificial disc designed to mimic the natural motion of a healthy disc. This helps maintain spinal flexibility and alignment while reducing nerve compression and associated symptoms. The procedure is typically performed in the cervical (neck) or lumbar (lower back) spine, depending on the affected area.
Advantages of Artificial Disc Replacement
- Preserves natural spinal motion and flexibility
- Reduces or eliminates chronic back or neck pain
- Avoids complications associated with spinal fusion
- Quicker recovery and return to daily activities
- Long-term durability with advanced implant technology
