A Multi-Center, Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Cervical Arthroplasty to Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion for the Treatment of Cervical Degenerative Disc Disease
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Cervical TDR and ACDF with plate for Cervical Degenerative Disc Disease. Completed, enrolled 500 participants across 32 sites in 3 countries.
Detailed Summary
This study is intended to treat patients with symptomatic degenerative disc disease at one level of the cervical spine. The patients will be randomized to the DISCOVER Artificial Cervical Disc (total disc replacement) or SLIM-LOC™ (cervical fusion) to determine the safety and efficacy at 2 years post operative. Follow-up on patients treated with total disc replacement will be continued to 5 years post operative.
