What does LDR stand for?

Got a Fusion at C5-C6. About two years later I needed Artificial Disc at C4-C5 and C6-C7 because the Fusion put extra torque on the Disc above and below the Fusion. When I got the Fusion I was in a Study, the Artificial Disc was in the process of being approved by the FDA. There was a 50% chance I would get a Fusion or 50% chance I would get the Artificial Disc. I was picked to get a Fusion, I'm so glad I didn't get picked to get the Charité artificial disc. I got the Pro Artificial Disc.

I am like the lady asking a question of ADR, there are results of like 40% of patients in the group failed and needed fusion soon after. Mobi c was one of them used, I think.

Mobi-c is the worst one out there these days. Or so I hear 😬

Really wish this was the standard these days, but lots of insurance companies refuse to pay for replacement. Had cervical disc replacement at c6 c7 and was back to doing everything I used too at a week and a half. Replacement should be the go to instead of something as archaic as fusion.

I'd find a new neurological surgeon if he ever acted or said some crap like that. Timestamp 2:50

How much does this mobi-c cost roughly? I have an almost 4year old work comp case and I believe I have 3 destroyed discs in my neck and trying to figure out the cost so I can deal with Gallagher basset (work comp insurance company) properly... they have resisted every step of the way ...

Currently have a Pro Disc C from 2017 in C5/C6 with no problems at all until 10 weeks ago. C6/C7 small dsic protrusion and bone spur causing severe pain on foraminal nerve. Doing everything possible to avoid any surgery but looking at all options. My old surgeon wants to do another artifical disc, Prod disc SK and another surgeon recommends fusion. Its all bad and trying rejuvination injections first

is i true artificial disc actually have worse outcomes on the adjacent discs

He's so good, because he's realistic and honest...along with being a knowledgeable, skilled, surgeon.

Great presentation

Wow this is some good information. I wish they did disc replacement instead of exterior fusion L4 to S1 I wish they would’ve done full cage fusion because i have lose hardware that needs to now be redone because of it I am starting to have deterioration of my lower and upper discs from the fusion level. I just recently November 16 had a cervical Interior disc replacement at SCOI in van nuys I had a pinched nerve at my C6 C7 level, which was numbing my left shoulder, my left arm to hand. This has been the best if not the greatest surgery I’ve had to date!!

I have a 5 level fusion from L2-S1. It was done in March 2013. I have very progressive degenerative disc disease. I was 38 when I had that done. I am now in need of a total hip replacement due to severe osteoarthritis that is also fact progressing. I am also in need of either a fusion or artificial disc in my cervical area. Around C4-C7 area. I will also need my knee and other hip done in the near furture. None of it is related to a car accident or other traumatic injury. It is just how my body grew. I do have family members that have always had back issues. I was also a premature baby born at 32 weeks. So who knows if there was a glitch in my development. My mom had gestational diabetes when pregnant with me so fortunately I was bigger at birth than a regular preemie. Born at 6lbs 11oz. I wonder if it truly has something to do with it.

I have 9 that need attention asap.my chances=0.T800Aust

Can I remove my 2 level C-5 C-6 fusion and replace them with artificial disc

Hi dr I'm Ahsan from Pakistan paralyse sam parable palace halp me

I had this done and though the recovery was very hard I have had no problems or pain and am very pleased

Hi, I am Md Rokibul Hossain from Bangladesh, I am suffering with Ankylosing Spondilities from 14+ years. Didn't move my neck because My survical disc (c1,c2,c3) fused, want to know is it possible to resolve?

Why focusing on Mobi-C artificial disc, versus other options? Prestige LP, M6 etc?

What about lumbar replacement? 2 levels approved for that as well?

Replacement won't work for arthritic spines, so I'm screwed...ACDF is only getting closer...🧐😪

Excellent presentation.

Had a single level acdf 2.5 years ago. Was given option to do disc replacement vs ACDF . Got a second opinion and the second surgeon recommended acdf over disc replacement so that is what I chose. Symptoms significantly better except numbness in thumb tip after surgery and remains that way. I went for a shoulder issue (frozen shoulder diagnosed) last week and asked them to do a c spine xray. Now I have pretty significant osteophytes above the fusion level so I am pretty bummed about having done the fusion over disc replacement. I do occasionally have pain especially in the mornings Which improves with movement and if I wear a collar at night. What can I expect? Appears this is faster bone spur formation than usual. Should I consider a above level disc replacement or wait for it to get worse? Is there any way to do a redo of a fusion and change it to a disc replacement? The current xray shows the fusion is complete. I’m 55 and don’t want to end up with severe osteoarthritis in my future. Any thoughts?

I had a cervical laminectomy C3-C7 3.5yrs ago with no follow up surgery. A recent scan showed natural fusion C4-C5 however arthritis C5-C6 is now very painful and I will go back to my neurosurgeon. Am I a candidate for a hybrid ?

I was diagnosed with moderate to severe cervical spinal stenosis at C3-5. My surgeon wants to do an ACDF with a cage device. I wonder if disc replacement would be a better option. What are the things a surgeon would consider when choosing to do a disc replacement as opposed to ACDF? What are some questions I should ask? I am 57 and this would be my first back surgery.

Thank you - there are some very significant insights and pearls presented here in the debate between disc replacement and fusion.

The last 2 examples didn't mention the rehab process for the patients or their return to play timeline/outcome

Fantastic Video, Mike! Amazing talent ...LBJI is lucky to have you!

Appreciate video content! Apologies for the intrusion, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you thought about - Trentvorty Visible Beauty Theorem (probably on Google)? It is an awesome one of a kind guide for getting rid of your Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/ME) minus the hard work. Ive heard some super things about it and my cousin after a lifetime of fighting got amazing results with it.

Which one is better ACDF or Disc Replacement surgery Please suggest

it is so rare so everyone just don`t give a fuck

I haven’t been able to address my constant discomfort despite having the aid of physicians and podiatrists. This was my situation until I found this plantar fasciitis treatment. This is definitely a highly effective program! The easy way to find this guide is using Google. Name of this guidebook is Jacob Ballοycut well wishes

Very helpful video...thank you for posting! Along the lines of the last question asked (what is the longevity of cervical disc replacement device)...if the device should wear out after say 15 years...assuming healthy vertebra...can the device be replaced or must one then resort to fusion? (Also, is the fitting done to the vertebra for a particular disc replacement device so specific...that the surrounding bone can not support a future new/different shaped device?). Thank you.

I'm glad I found this! My son is actually recovering from a 180 flap right now. He had a degloving of his left outer ankle. He also endured leech therapy.

Take the music out

I've been receiving pain management from Dr. Nath for many years for my MS. I can honestly say if it were not for Dr. Nath, I would not have the quality of life that I now have. Thank you Dr. Nath!!

What's up Doctor? I'm doing great. I feel so relieved of pain from the spinal stenosis. Thank you so much I for ever great full.
