A member asked:
Is a 2 level cervical artificial disc replacement safe and effective? what is the longevity of the disc? how long has it been fda approved?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chartre': The artificial disc has been used in Europe for about a decade and in the US for about half that time. It has been highly successful and prevents adjacent disc injury. The operation for a skilled surgeon is quite simple and fast with minimal complications.
