Abstract

Degenerative disc disease is one of the main causes of cervical radiculopathy and myelopathy. It has been treated traditionally with anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) [1]. However, this procedure was not immune from different types of complications, one of the most frequent is adjacent segment disease (ASD). As a result, new techniques such as total disc replacement (TDR) have emerged as an alternative to preserve motion and decrease the risk of ASD [2].
