Cervical Artificial Disc Wear: The Influence of Surgical Placement

Cervical Artificial Disc Wear: The Influence of Surgical Placement

by Ed Morra | Mar 8, 2012 | Spine

Relative motion at interacting implant surfaces generates wear debris over time leading to periprosthetic osteolysis and device failure. Factors related to implant design, patient habitus and surgical approach will impact the generation of wear debris and influence...
Clinical Retrieval and Simulator Comparison of an Investigational Cervical Disc Replacement: An A Priori Requirement

Clinical Retrieval and Simulator Comparison of an Investigational Cervical Disc Replacement: An A Priori Requirement

by Ed Morra | Mar 8, 2010 | Spine

The evolvement of cervical and lumbar disc replacement designs as alternatives to spinal fusion has resulted in a significant number of ongoing United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA)-sponsored clinical trials. While these seek to establish “safety and...

Evaluation of Total Disc Replacements with a Novel Multi-Axis Spine Simulator: An A Priori Requirement

by Ed Morra | Mar 8, 2007 | Spine

The evolvement of cervical and lumbar disc replacement designs as alternatives to spinal fusion has resulted in a significant number of ongoing FDA-sponsored clinical trials. While these seek to establish “safety and effectiveness”, they are of limited in vivo...
The Current State of Cervical and Lumbar Spinal Disc Arthroplasty

The Current State of Cervical and Lumbar Spinal Disc Arthroplasty

by Ed Morra | Mar 8, 2007 | Spine

The growth of spinal implant and orthobiologic technologies over the last several years is increasing in tempo and fast approaching the US hip and knee markets in annual dollar sales. During this time, a number of start-up and established medical device manufacturers...
