The new implantation procedure improves outcomes for patients undergoing discectomy who suffer from radiculopathy and back pain due to herniated disc in the lower back.

Key Points: 
  • The new implantation procedure improves outcomes for patients undergoing discectomy who suffer from radiculopathy and back pain due to herniated disc in the lower back.
  • Disc herniation is one of the most common causes of lower back and leg painor sciaticain adults.
  • A herniated disc occurs when a fragment of the disc nucleus protrudes through a rupture in the annulus, thereby compressing the nerve, and causing pain.
  • NYU Langone's Spine Center provides excellent nonsurgical and surgical treatment of degenerative spine conditions such as herniated disc and spinal stenosis, and spinal deformities including scoliosis and kyphosis.

    The Orthofix M6-C artificial cervical disc is a next-generation artificial disc developed to replace an intervertebral disc damaged by cervical disc degeneration.
  • The data demonstrates that patients treated with the M6-C artificial cervical disc had significant improvements in neck and arm pain, function and quality of life scores.
  • The results from the M6-C artificial cervical disc IDE clinical study continue to validate the positive outcomes of cervical disc arthroplasty versus discectomy with fusion, said Zigler.
  • This data statistically demonstrates that cervical disc replacement with the M6-C disc is not inferior to treatment with ACDF.
