Abstract:
[Objective]To evaluate the early-middle stage clinical results of cervical disc hemiation treatment with the Bryan cervical disc prosthesis.[Method]There were 51 patients with cervical disc herniation.There were 16 female and 35 male patients aged between 31 and 57(mean age 43).The herniated disc was located at C3、4 in 8 cases,C4、5 in 4 cases,C5、6 in 31 cases,C6、7 in 2 cases,C4～6 in 2 cases,C3～6 in 2 cases.and C5～7in 2 case.There were 16 patients with myelopathy and 31 with radiculopathy.A total of 57 sets of Bryan cervical disc prosthesis were implanted,with single level disc replaced in 45 cases and bi-level in 6 cases.The Bryan cervical disc prosthesis contained a proprietary,low-fiction,wear-resistant,unique polyurethane nucleus.The nucleus was located in shaped titanium plates(shells) that include convex porous ingrowth surfaces,to allow bony fixation to the adjacent vertebral endplates.The level of stableness and mobility at the implanting location were observed on dynamic radiograph postoperatively.[Result]The average follow-up was 1 year to 4 and half year.There was no prosthesis displacement and loosening in all cases.One patient had a definite spontaneous fusion of treated segment after 4 years of follow-up.Two patient had grade Ⅱ heterotopic ossification(HO).The range of motion(ROM) at implant level was 9.3 degrees on the flexion-extension radiographs.Significant improvement in neurological symptoms were observed in all cases,and radicular pain for patients suffering from raduculopathy was relieved completely.The average improvement was 8.5 points based on CSM criteria.Effective rate was 100%.[Conclusion]Artificial cervical discs prosthesis provides a new effective treatment for cervical disc herniation.Definite stabilization and satisfactory mobility were achieved after the implantation of cervical disc prosthesis.
