Abstract

A new high performance tool, the disc prosthesis, endows the degenerative cervical rachidian pathology. It allows us to fill the fusions’ lacunas by protecting the adjacent levels from an accelerated degeneration while preserving the anatomical and physiological characteristics of the cervical spine, especially its mobility. At the present time, there exist several models of cervical disc prosthesis on the market. We have tested some of them such as the Bryan®, the Prestige® and the Prodisc®. We have currently chosen the Spineart Baguera® C. In this article, we are going to present our experience of this prosthesis which was implanted in 49 patients between February and December 2007.
