Cervical disc replacement
by vrob, Apr 11, 2009 01:59PM
I am in need of surgery fairly soon for disc degeneration and bony growths in my neck (C4/5, C5/6 & C6/7) as these are causing pressure on my spine with spinal stenosis. I really do not want to have my vertebrae fused, and am wondering if there is anyone out there that would be able to perform artificial disc replacement in these areas? (Or is possible?) Please help!

3 levels will be treated with 3 artificial disc conserving all mobility of the neck.
