Cervical Disc Replacement using a Baguera Titanium Disc at C6 – C7

admin — Sat, 12 Mar 2011 03:54:08 +0000

I had my C6-C7 disc replaced in July 2010 at 34 years old by Hussien El-Maghraby at the Coventry & Warwickshire University Hospital. He used a Baguera Disc and was kind enough to send me some images which allowed me to make this video. For those interested in exactly what the disc looks like, this is the video for you! Please email me on chris.sarah.darby@gmail.com if you wish to ask me any questions as I would be more than happy to help.

Cervical Disc Replacement Surgery C6-C7 – MRI Scan, X-Rays of new disc, Photos of Scar

admin — Sun, 06 Feb 2011 06:37:02 +0000

I had my C6-C7 disc replaced in July 2010 at 34 years old. After weeks of research and building myself up to the operation, I wanted answers to specific questions but never found them. I posted a video on here back in October 2010 showing photos similar to what is in this video and have had so many hits which really surprised me. I’ve also had several people personally contact me as they are having the same surgery and asked if I could answer some questions they were curious about. So I am hoping this one helps too as it is more about the time scale of the whole thing.

Cervical Disk Replacement Surgery C6 – C7 due to ruptured disk – Scar that is left

admin — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 08:15:24 +0000

I had a disk at C6 – C7 replaced in July 2010 at Walsgrave Hospital in Coventry, UK. I did loads of research prior to my surgery and found very little relating to the wound and scar that would be left. So I made this showing progress from the day of surgery to 3 months after. I hope this helps someone with their research into this surgery. Mine went great and the pain in my shoulder and arm has now gone.

The evolution of Disc Replacement

admin — Sun, 12 Sep 2010 21:39:31 +0000

Visit http://www.stenumhospital.com When the first American came to Stenum, doctors in Germany were using disc replacements that had plastic cores, were prone to migration, as well as other issues.
In 2004 a simple, 2 piece implant, The Maverick Lumbar/Prestige LP cervical disc, was introduced. This implant had no plastic, eliminated the migration issues, with its advanced endplate design, and was more stable due to its ball in socket concept. By eliminating the need for risky revision surgeries, this was a significant breakthrough. Still we were faced with an unrestrained mobile joint, unpredictable motion characteristics, and no shock absorption. Our goal to replicate the function of the human disc was still not achieved.
In 2006 we introduced the achievement of this final goal. Stenum Hospital is now using the breakthrough Spinal Kinetics M6 implant. This implant achieves the ultimate goal of replicating the healthy human disc. By providing shock absorption and graded variable motion resistance, the M6 works in concert with the remaining human discs, to provide the best possible outcome. This “Quality of Motion” is a major benefit not available in any other implant we have seen! The M6 cervical implant is approved for use in Europe and the M6 Lumbar will be available soon.

PRODISC® Lumbar Artificial Disc Replacement (ADR) Surgery – The Spine Institute Santa Monica CA

admin — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 13:58:08 +0000

The Spine Institute in California has done more PRODISC® artificial disc replacement (ADR) surgeries than any other institution in the US.

What is it? The FDA Approved PRODISC®-L Total Disc Replacement is an artificial intervertebral disc made from metal and plastic that is used to treat pain associated with degenerative disc disease (DDD). DDD is defined as discogenic back pain (pain resulting from a degenerated intervertebral disc) with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies. The PRODISC®-L Total Disc Replacement is implanted to replace a diseased or damaged intervertebral disc during a surgical procedure called spinal arthroplasty.

How does it work? The PRODISC®-L Total Disc Replacement consists of three parts:

1. Two metal (cobalt-chrome alloy) endplates that are anchored to the top and bottom surfaces of the spinal bones (vertebrae)
2. A plastic (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, or UHMWPE) inlay that fits between the two endplates
The plastic inlay and endplates help restore the natural distance between the two vertebrae (disc height). The top (superior) endplate can slide over the domed part of the inlay, which can allow movement at the level where it is implanted.

When is it used? The PRODISC®-L Total Disc Replacement is indicated for spinal arthroplasty in patients who:

1. are skeletally mature
2. have degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one level in the lumbar spine (from L3-S1)
3. have no more than Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level
4. have had no relief from pain after at least six months of non-surgical treatment

What will it accomplish? The PRODISC®-L Total Disc Replacement is used to replace a damaged intervertebral disc. The device may restore disc height, may reduce pain, and may allow movement at the level where it is implanted.
