Cervical Disc Replacement
Artificial cervical disc replacement is a procedure to remove a damaged disc in the neck and replace it with an artificial implant. Persistent neck pain due to disc disease was initially treated by fusion surgery that although reduces pain, compromises mobility. The artificial disc is an innovative implant that can help you retain the normal range of motion.
Mobi-C ®Cervical Disc
Mobi-C is an FDA-approved artificial cervical disc from Zimmer Biomet designed to maintain neck motion. It is employed in one- and two-level cervical disc replacement from C3 to C7 and is intended to restore/maintain disc height and segmental motion and alleviate pain and loss of motion in patients with degenerative disc disease and disc herniation.
