Mobi-C is a cobalt chromium alloy and polyethylene mobile-bearing prosthesis specifically designed as a bone-sparing, cervical intervertebral disc replacement for both one and two-level indications.
Specific findings presented included:
- Mean neck disability index (NDI) scores and improvement was similar in both the one-level and two-level Mobi-C patient cohorts;
- Two-level ACDF patients demonstrated statistically significantly less NDI improvement through four years as compared to the one-level ACDF patients;
- Reoperation rates at four years were 3.0 percent and 4.0 percent for the one and two-level Mobi-C patients respectively, and 9.9 percent and 15.2 percent for the ACDF patients respectively; and
- Mean range of motion was maintained through four years at the operative levels in both the one-level and two-level Mobi-C patient cohorts.
