Article Synopsis
- Cervical total disc replacement (TDR) aims to improve upon anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) by preserving motion and demonstrating equivalent or better clinical outcomes based on evidence from trials.
- The study involved 98 patients with cervical disc disease, randomly assigned to either TDR or ACDF, and followed for 2-6 years with various evaluations.
- Results showed that the TDR group had significantly higher clinical success rates (85%) compared to the ACDF group (70%), alongside excellent outcomes in self-reported measures on neck disability and pain.
