Studies expand the evidence validating the clinical efficacy of Centinel Spine’s prodisc® L Lumbar Total Disc Replacement (TDR) device compared to two-level hybrid reconstruction.
The study is one of the first long-term mobility comparisons between two-level lumbar TDR and hybrid constructs comprising one-level lumbar TDR combined with one-level anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF). A total of 235 patients who underwent lumbar surgery from 2003 to 2013 were followed—consisting of 170 patients receiving L4-S1 two-level lumbar TDR, and 65 patients receiving L5-S1 fusion and L4-L5 TDR hybrid construct.
According to the study, after a minimum of 24 months follow-up, the two-level prodisc L TDR demonstrates superiority in absolute lumbar mobility and pelvic motion. The hybrid construct demonstrates an overall lack of compensation in lumbar mobility and pelvic motion as compared to the two-level lumbar TDR. Although measures of activity and pain were equivalent between the study groups, the two-level TDR also demonstrated functional superiority versus the hybrid construct.
Centinel Spine’s CEO, Steve Murray, said, “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.”
