Abstract
Cervical disc replacement has undergone a dramatic evolution of prosthesis and techniques since the first device was invented and tested in the 1960s. This chapter presents the history of prosthesis development, anatomy of cervical intervertebral discs, and the standard surgical procedures of one currently developed device, including some successful and failed cases. According to some recent clinical trials, the early outcomes of such techniques are encouraging though its viability needs to be confirmed by more long-term studies.
