Centinel Spine will share new findings supporting long-term mobility superiority of the company’s prodisc L lumbar total disc replacement (TDR) device compared to two-level hybrid reconstruction at this year’s North American Spine Society (NASS) annual meeting.
The study is one of the first long-term mobility comparisons between two-level lumbar TDR and hybrid constructs consisting of one-level lumbar TDR compared with one-level anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF). 235 patients who underwent lumbar surgery from 2003-2013 were followed.
The study demonstrated after a minimum 24 months’ follow-up, the two-level prodisc L TDR showed superiority in absolute lumbar mobility and pelvic motion. The hybrid construct showed an overall lack of compensation in lumbar mobility and pelvic motion compared to two-level lumbar TDR.
Centinel Spine's CEO Steve Murray told the press, "This study further reinforces the long-term effectiveness of the prodisc system, a proven technology that supports the advancement of patient care. The system was engineered with proven design principles, and this is another study that demonstrates continued positive results of prodisc L after over 30 years of clinical use."
The prodisc L Lumbar TDR system, along with the newly-approved prodisc cervical TDR portfolio that allows the disc to be matched to patient anatomy, will be featured at booth #4224.
