Lumbar total disc replacement for degenerative disc disease

Record ID 32010000863
English
Authors' objectives:

Lumbar total disc replacement (LTDR) involves replacement of a degenerating lumbar (L3-S1) intervertebral disc with an artificial, or prosthetic, disc. The artificial disc is designed to maintain the physiological range of motion and stability of the natural spine and restore disc height and vertebral alignment, and, as a result, relieve pain and prevent adjacent disc degeneration.
