Over 23 years ago, I was told I was too young for spinal fusion surgery, frustrated and in pain I discovered that they were doing disc replacement surgery in Germany and had been doing it for years.
My journey to eliminate my pain took me to Stenum hospital in Germany, where I received an artificial disc replacement at L4-5.
Are you eligible for disc replacement or do you need fusion?
Determining whether you are eligible for artificial disc replacement or require a fusion depends on a formal evaluation of your imaging and spine stability.
Where can I get more information about disc replacement surgery?
Fusion is what accelerates the adjacent level’s breakdown, so a motion-preserving disc beside it is the rational best choice.
None of these denials are about the science or the results. The science is settled. The results are proven.
