Mobi-C Artificial Disc Replacement vs. ACDF Spine Fusion Surgery

This video animates the motion in the neck after a 2-level cervical artificial disc replacement versus the natural physical limitations of an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). A 2-level artificial disc replacement has shown at 7 years post-surgery to be superior in overall trial success versus ACDF - ADR 60.8% and ACDF only 34.6%. Also, ADR patients returned to work 20.9 days sooner than ACDF patients. Artificial disc replacement patients were 3 times less likely to have further surgery on the cervical spine than the ACDF patients.

Dr. Marco Rodriguez received his ADR training in his fellowship at Texas Back Institute, known for leadership in clinical trials and studies of artificial disc replacement. He routinely recommends ADR to his patients when appropriate for cervical related pain as an alternative to spine fusion surgery.

As a leader in Least Invasive Spine Surgery, Dr. Rodriguez is always looking for ways to get his patient back to work and play sooner. Proven artificial disc replacement, and endoscopic spine surgery techniques offer patients significant relief from painful spinal conditions in the neck and back without a spine fusion.
