The Treatment of Disabling Multilevel Lumbar Discogenic Low Back Pain With Total Disc Arthroplasty Utilizing the ProDisc Prosthesis

Abstract

Our preliminary data on multisegmental ProDisc lumbar total disc arthroplasty appear to be a safe and efficacious treatment method for debilitating lumbar spondylosis without significant facet arthropathy. In our select (non-Workers Compensation and/or medical legal) cohort of patients, we demonstrate a patient satisfaction rate of 93%. Careful and appropriate patient selection is essential in ensuring optimal surgical outcomes.
