Background The need for posterior longitudinal ligament (PLL) resection during cervical
total disc arthroplasty (TDA) has been debated. The purpose of this laboratory study was to …

Study Design. Benchtop biomechanics study examining kinematic effects of progressive
resection in a human cadaveric spine model. Objective. To determine the effects of posterior …

Background Cervical disc replacement (CDR) has been widely used to restore and maintain
mobility and function of the treated and adjacent motion segments. Posterior longitudinal …

Objectives To assess the in vivo longitudinal kinematic performance of the Prestige-LP Disc
and describe the 5-year trends in the center of rotation (COR) at the instrumented level …

Study Design. We quantified the segmental biomechanics of a cervical total disc
replacement (TDR) before and after progressive posterior decompression. We hypothesized …

Study Design. Prospective, randomized trial. Objective. To assess the in vivo kinematics of
the cervical spine after cervical fusion and arthroplasty. Summary of Background Data …

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the biomechanical performances of cervical disc
replacement with posterior longitudinal ligament (PLL) resected and preserved situations …

The most commonly accepted indications for cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA) are 1-and 2-
level cervical disc herniation or spondylosis causing radiculopathy or myelopathy that is …

BACKGROUND CONTEXT: The motion segments of the healthy sub-axial cervical spine
have substantial mobility in flexion-extension, lateral bending and axial rotation, and …

Background The clinical success of cervical arthroplasty hinges on the ability to preserve or
improve the biomechanics of the functional spinal unit. The purpose of this study was to …
