Spineart announces the publication of clinical data for its Baguera®c artifical cervical disc prosthesis

Spineart announces the publication of Arthroplasty with the Baguera®C Cervical Disc Prosthesis: A Review of the Scientific Background, Clinical and Radiographic Evidences(1) in the Journal of Spine & Neurosurgery

The authors discussed peer-reviewed or published literature studying the Baguera®C cervical disc prosthesis clinical and radiological results. The goal of the review was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of cervical disc replacement with Baguera®C and discuss these in comparison with the results of other prosthesis in the literature.

The review reported the results of three case series evaluating the safety and performance of Baguera®C over an observational period of two years.

The authors concluded that cervical disc replacement with Baguera®C is a safe and effective procedure for the treatment of radiculopathy due to soft disc herniation and/or moderate uncarthrosis on 1 or 2 levels. The results showed that Baguera®C had limited or no influence on the biomechanics of adjacent levels. The rate of heterotopic ossification tended to be lower compared to other cervical disc prosthesis published in the literature.

So far, more than 15’000 BAGUERA®C disc prosthesis have been implanted worldwide. The first surgery was performed in France in January 2007.24
