bullet

MRI performed 30-January-2010 showing extruded disc C5-6 with right foraminal occlusion with syrinx mid dorsal small size.

He has also hypalgesia of the right lower lib below the knee. Severe weak grip and extension right hand 3/5 and the right triceps 4/5. There is also weak dorsiflexion right foot 4/5.

bullet

Discectomy of C5-6 was done and the extruded disc in the right foramen was removed.

bullet

Prestige LP artificial disc device 6X16 mm was implanted at the C5-6 under image-intensifier control during all steps of the procedure.

bullet

Routine closure of the wound.

bullet

Smooth postoperative recovery, with improvement of the power of right upper limb.


Comments

bullet

Using Prestige LP Medtronic is an acceptable option, since there is some wedging of C5 and insertion of such device could bring some correction to the alignment of the cervical spine.

bullet

The physiologic function of the cervical spine remain at this damaged level, which could yield better outcome.

bullet

It was preferable to use 6X18 mm device, which is not available. So as to have the compromise, the construct was pushed 1 mm deeper than usual.
