We are pleased to announce the excellent results of a prospective observational study showing the safety and effectiveness of the BAGUERA®C cervical disc prosthesis. The device was evaluated 2 years postoperative, based on clinical and radiographical data of 118 patients with symptomatic cervical degenerative disc diseases (SCDDD), treated by total disc replacement (TDR) using the BAGUERA®C prosthesis. This study was conducted in 5 hospitals or clinics across France, Belgium, Spain, Germany and Greece.
The clinical and radiographical results showed that TDR using the BAGUERA®C device is:
– a safe procedure with low complication rate and no device-related adverse event
– an effective surgical treatment of single or double levels SCDDD, either used alone or in combination with other techniques (hybrid surgeries)
For both techniques (TDR-only and hybrid surgeries) the preservation of mobility and the disc height restoration at the implanted level were demonstrated. These results will be presented during the 2014 NASS meeting in San Francisco in November.
