I really don't get why they don't use screws for primary fixation on the rims like in the ALIF cages for instance. I understand that it is a "press fit" technology but still the patients risk a dislodge in the primary stage as nothing holds the disc in place other than vertebrae pressure and those little pegs

I need multiple vertebrae done with this. I need too many levels for a fusion and need help BAD.

Great to hear this.I am a 70 year old woman from New Zealand,diagnosed with severe lumbar spinal stenosis in 3 places in 2017 and offered a fusion,what I did not want,I travelled to the USA in April 2024 ,wheelchair in the airport, walking 1.5km one day after surgery,back in NZ after 5 days,no pain,I can do all the things I want to, e.g. 12km hiking

Every day I am so grateful for this surgery. And I'm so thankful to Dr. Illerhaus and the entire ONZ Spine Connection team, especially to Susanne, the onsite coordinator, and to Fabian (and his wife) for sharing his story. It helped me make the decision to do this, last year in 2023. Of all the video testimonials, my condition was closest to Fabian's: degenerative disc disease, same discs. By August of 2023 I was walking with a cane, I couldn't sleep more than 2 - 3 hours a night because of the pain, I couldn't focus on my work because of the pain, I couldn't accompany my son to his athletics because I could no longer walk to the fields. I was looking into lumbar spinal fusion and learned that disc replacement was an actual thing. I did my research, contacted some clinics, spoke with references, and decided to do it with ONZ. I traveled from the U.S. to Germany, through the airports, in a wheelchair. I arrived in Germany and had my surgery (identical to Fabian's) in September of 2023 with Dr. Illerhaus. The experience was wonderful, all considered. My crippling back pain was gone immediately and I was able to walk standing upright a day after my surgery. My rehab and physical therapy went fine, and on March 9th, six months after my surgery, I hiked the Grand Canyon. Zero pain. I can now wrestle with my son, hike, lift weights and live my life totally pain free. I couldn't be happier with my outcome and I tell everyone about it, just in case someone else needs this kind of help. To me, this surgery was a miracle of modern medicine. I have my life back. I'm so grateful.

My pension is 700 EUR, 75000 $ I will have enough for surgery in 9 years if I dont eat and stop living overall. Modern times new technologies, la la land for comon person.

I need this in the worst way possible

Amazing. I’ve had spinal fusion. I wish I had heard of this first. Spinal fusion is hard to get over,and it takes a year out of your life. No more bending over. It takes a lot of rehabilitation. And MORE SURGERY down the road 😦

How much does it cost please?

How can I see the reviews?

Is it available in the U.S.?

Hi dear sir or madam Can you please help me I have disc on L4L5 let me know how can contact you guys I am from Australia thanks

Can I play football after an ADR ?

Would it be possible to have an update from Taran explaining how is his life going on five years later? I really appreciate these videos and your work but it would be interesting to have a more longterm feedback about it. In relation to that, how long do these disk replacements last? Could you live a whole live with them without needing another surgery? Considering a 30yo active patient. Thank you very much in advance!

Hello @SpineConnection, would this procedure be possible for a young man (33y) with two previous discectomies at the same L5-S1 level? Also, would it be possible to perform this motion preserving surgery even if the patient has an interspinous spacer from the last surgery? Could it be removed to achieve complete restoration of movement at this level with the disk replacement surgery? Thank you very much in advance!

How much it cost in usd And how long does it take to get back to my country

I am 65 and no longer a viable candidate for disc replacement. Furthermore, I am no longer a productive member of society because of my age so I’ve been ruled out of disc replacement surgery. So now I’m scheduling my fourth back surgery to undergo the barbaric fusion method. 💩

hello My diagnosis after the classic operation at the L4-L5 level, from the sample taken based on the microbiological analysis, the result is Staphylococus Aures, I have taken antibiotics for 3 months in a row, but I am not cured since the infection has damaged 2 levels of the discs. Can I have disc replacement at your place and how much will it help me to live a pain free life???

Anyone had this surgery already? If yes, can you tell if it worked or not. In which country, hospital, doctor?

Wenn will a cervical version see the light? #waitingforever 😢

1 week post op with activL

My Sister is in that video❤

How many can be put on one spine? I would need multiple in the lumbar region.

I still waiting for something like that to replace the fusion in my back that is really painful for many years and procedures

If you are reading this, you are not alone!! 2 level lumbar Lp-Esp and 1 level Cervical Cp-Esp! Germans are the kings 👑 in ADR!!!

very interesting but most insurance companies will not pay.

Can tilf be used for thoracic spine d12??

What is the cost of this surgery at this moment please ? thank you.

Greatest invention! Hope the future holds this for C1/2

I can't afford to go to Germany for a disc replacement !!!!!!!!!!!!

What happens if the screws become loosened? If the become loosened, is it recommended to fix it ? Ty, Rick

How common is it to have issues with these implants following surgery? (such as osteolysis, metal allergy issues or bacterial infection, degeneration of the artificial disc itself?)

Hi can we do online consultation from other country??

Lord, I'd love to know more about this... I've got degenerative bone disease.. Can't bend over to put my shoes on any more also having severe pain in my right leg and Can't walk very far without stopping all the time. Please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your consideration!!

Hello, is there a portable artificial disc replacement that allows weights to be carried to the lumbar vertebrae... and how much is the amount to make a disc?

How to contact with this clinic by online

Lol, she said she had a meltdown on bank transfer day 😂😂 Ive been there, i know that feeling!! Mine was so big it was multiple transactions over 2 days because of daily limit! 😂😂 I did a test transaction and asked for proof it went through before i sent the large transfers lol

Does this technology work with ADR? I have cervical facet joints degeneration as well as disc degeneration at 2/3 levels

Can this work with previous spinal fusion surgery at L1-L2? PSF

Can this work with previous spinal fusion surgery at L1-L2? PSF

I hope I can afford to have this someday. I'm in another state.

Why isnt facet joint replacement not compatible with ADR? Ive seena study on it arguing it's quite successful

I am a 37 y/o male who has undergone two surgical interventions for pars defect in L5 with spondylolisthesis grade I (L5-S1). The first one was a pars repair with the wire but, 6 years later one of the screws failed and had to go in for surgery again. It was a similar intervention but instead the surgeon used hooks and screws. Even though my back felt more stable since day one, I still had some discomfort (instability sensation) and back pain after playing soccer or running for more than 30 mins. It actually never felt 100% perfect, and honestly it has been extremely frustrating since I have always been a high performance athlete. My question is....could this device retract my anterolisthesis back to grade 0? I ask this because I can feel the discomfort comes from the stenosis caused by the slippage. I feel so much relive when I pull myself back with my hands in my hips. Best Regards, Jimmy.
