As a modern alternative to traditional fusion surgery, artificial disc replacement (ADR) surgery is a minimally invasive procedure offered at Royal Spine Surgery for individuals suffering from degenerative disc disease or other spine-related conditions. During the procedure, the damaged disc is removed and replaced with an artificial disc made of medical-grade materials designed to mimic the natural movement and function of the original disc. This innovative approach to spine surgery offers several benefits including faster recovery times and improved mobility and pain relief. This procedure might not be appropriate for all patients, and the decision to undergo this procedure should be made after careful evaluation by a qualified spine surgeon. As with any surgical procedure, there are risks and potential complications associated with artificial disc replacement surgery, and it should only be considered after careful evaluation by a qualified spine surgeon.
