Any hospitals in us performing three level c spine surgery with synthetic disks? experimental, no problem.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Artificial discs: The artificial disc is not FDA approved for three levels and US insurance companies will not pay for a three level cervical arthroplasty. Outside the US may be an option.
