Artificial Disc Replacement Lumbar Spine Surgical Outcome

The alternative is Artificial Disc Replacement. While in it’s infancy in the USA, these procedures have been taking place outside of the USA for more than a decade.

This story presents one such patient who after years of suffering and failed procedures was given her life back following Artificial Disc Replacement Surgery.
