    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_Disc_Replacement

    Disc replacement is also an alternative intervention for symptomatic disc herniation with associated arm and hand, or leg symptoms (radicular pain). TDR has been developed as an alternative to spinal fusion, with the goal of pain reduction or elimination, while still allowing motion throughout the spine. Faster recoveries after surgery have ...

    Some of the common cervical spine diseases include degenerative disc disease, cervical stenosis, and cervical disc herniation. Degenerative disc disease occurs over time when the discs within each vertebra in the neck begin to fall apart and begin to disintegrate. Because each vertebra can cause pain in different areas of the body, the pain ...

    A research group led by Gilligan has presented a description of how they hypothesize 4 stages, from infection of the discus to developing Modic changes in the vertebrae. [ 57 ] The first study to investigate the efficacy of long-term antibiotic treatment for patients with Modic changes was published in 2013. [ 58 ]

    Degenerative disc disease causes narrowing of the spaces. [27] Facet joints break down; Facet joints may hypertrophy [28] Compression fractures of the spine, which are common in osteoporosis [29] Synovial cysts form on the facet joints causing compression of the spinal sac of nerves (thecal sac)

    While many improve in the short term after surgery, this improvement decreases somewhat with time. [7] A number of factors present before surgery are able to predict the outcome after surgery, with people with depression , cardiovascular disease , and scoliosis doing in general worse, while those with more severe stenosis beforehand and better ...

    Identify the level of the spinal cord where myelopathy is located. This is especially useful in cases where more than two lesions may be responsible for the clinical symptoms and signs, such as in patients with two or more cervical disc hernias [11] Follow-up the progression of myelopathy in time, for example before and after cervical spine surgery

    1. a herniated disc when other non-surgical treatments have failed. The nucleus pulposus (the jelly-like center of the disc) of the herniated disc bulges out through the annulus (surrounding wall) and presses on the nerve root next to it. 2. degenerative disc disease (spondylosis). The disc consists of about 80% water.
