In this article from the Journal of Neurosurgery, range of motion (ROM) changes were evaluated at the surgically treated and adjacent segments in cadaveric specimens treated with two different cervical artificial discs compared with those measured in intact spine and fusion models.

Ionics Medical Corporation announced that the company has received FDA clearance to market the Dyn-ALIF intervertebral body spinal fusion device. The device mimics the shock-absorbing features of the natural disc and is vertically expandable to provide a precise fit for a wide range of disc space heights.

The BAK/C Cervical Interbody Fusion System is the comfortable choice for patients experiencing degenerative disc disease of the cervical spine. The BAK/C system gathers bone during decompression, bone bed preparation, and implantation. The self-packing of bone into the implant's chamber produces a local autograft and eliminates the need to harvest from the iliac crest.

The CHARITÉ® Artificial Disc offers a treatment option with a device that preserves some motion, avoids pain at the donor site and has demonstrated a shorter recovery time compared to fusion. The CHARITÉ Artificial Disc is comprised of cobalt chromium endplates coated with titanium calcium phosphate and an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) sliding core. Preclinical testing indicates that the unique mobile-core design incorporates a floating center of rotation (FCOR), enabling independent translation and rotation, key components of physiologic motion.

The DASCOR™ Disc Arthroplasty System consists of a two-part curable polyurethane and an expandable polyurethane balloon which is inserted into the disc space after the nucleus has been removed. The balloon is then injected with the flowable polymer which creates a complete, patient specific implant that conforms to the shape and size of the disc space.
