Anterior Cervical
Total Disc Replacement
Dr. Polin is specially trained in motion preservation surgery of the spine. Certified as a motion preservation specialist, he currently includes the ProDisc-C cervical device in his choice of implants for cervical arthroplasty.
The prodisc C Total Disc Replacement has been determined to be safe and effective in the treatment of intractable symptomatic cervical disc disease (SCDD) at one level from C3 to C7.
ProDisc-C Total Disc Replacement surgery is an alternative to anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), which is the surgery that is most commonly done for your condition. The ProDisc-C Total Disc Replacement implant is composed of top and bottom metal (cobalt chromium molybdenum) endplates and a plastic inlay (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) that form a ball and socket joint.
