Cervical disc arthroplasty is a surgical procedure that involves replacing a diseased or damaged cervical disc in the neck with an artificial disc. This procedure is often used to treat neck pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness caused by degenerative disc disease or herniated discs in the cervical spine. Cervical disc arthroplasty aims to restore normal motion and function to the spine while alleviating symptoms and improving patient outcomes. It is considered an alternative to traditional cervical fusion surgery, which restricts motion in the spine. The success of cervical disc arthroplasty depends on patient selection, surgical technique, and postoperative rehabilitation.
