“M6-C Artificial Cervical Disc: Seven-Year Outcomes for Single-Level Total Disc Replacement with a Novel Viscoelastic Artificial Cervical Disc” – abstract presentation by Dr. Todd Lanman.

This abstract is the first public presentation of specific seven-year clinical results associated with the use of the M6-C artificial cervical disc for the treatment of single-level symptomatic cervical radiculopathy. The presentation will be on Saturday, June 3 at 10:00 a.m. in Salons 10-12 by Dr. Todd Lanman. Highlighted results include:

• Decreases in disability as measured by NDI and decreases in Neck and Arm Pain Scores that were observed at prior follow-up periods and were retained through seven-years post-op
• Eleven Secondary Surgical Interventions (SSI) were observed among the M6-C disc cohort (6.9%). This rate is comparable to seven-year SSI rates reported for other commercially available artificial cervical discs
• Annual follow-up of this cohort will continue through 10-years post-op
