What is Cervical Disc Replacement Surgery?
Cervical disc replacement (also called cervical arthroplasty or artificial disc replacement) is an advanced surgical procedure that replaces a damaged or degenerated cervical disc with an artificial disc implant. Unlike traditional cervical fusion surgery, disc replacement preserves natural neck motion whilst relieving pain and neurological symptoms.
Key Benefits of Cervical Disc Replacement:
- Preserves neck mobility: Maintains natural range of motion
- Reduces adjacent segment disease: Lower risk of problems at neighbouring discs
- Faster recovery: Quicker return to normal activities
- Long-term relief: Proven durability and excellent outcomes
- No bone graft needed: Unlike fusion surgery

Who Needs Cervical Disc Replacement Surgery?
Common Conditions Treated:
- Cervical disc herniation causing nerve compression
- Degenerative disc disease with persistent symptoms
- Cervical radiculopathy (arm pain, numbness, weakness)
- Cervical myelopathy (spinal cord compression)
- Failed conservative treatment (physiotherapy, medications, injections)
Symptoms Indicating Need for Evaluation:
- Persistent neck pain not responding to conservative treatment
- Radiating arm pain (cervical radiculopathy)
- Numbness or tingling in arms, hands, or fingers
- Arm weakness affecting daily activities
- Hand clumsiness or difficulty with fine motor tasks
- Balance problems or gait disturbances
- Headaches originating from the neck
- Reduced neck mobility significantly impacting quality of life
When to Seek Immediate Consultation:
- Progressive weakness in arms or legs
- Loss of hand coordination or grip strength
- Balance problems or difficulty walking
- Bowel or bladder dysfunction
- Severe, unrelenting pain despite medication
Important: Not all cervical disc problems require surgery. Many patients improve with conservative treatment, including physiotherapy, medications, and lifestyle modifications. Surgery is recommended only when conservative measures fail or neurological symptoms progress.
Am I a Good Candidate for Cervical Disc Replacement?
Ideal Candidates:
- Single or two-level cervical disc disease
- Preserved disc height at affected levels
- Minimal facet joint arthritis
- No spinal instability
- Failed conservative treatment for 6-12 weeks
- Motivated for rehabilitation
- Age typically between 20-65 years
Cases Where Fusion May Be Preferred:
- Multi-level disease (3+ levels)
- Severe facet joint arthritis
- Significant spinal instability
- Severe osteoporosis
- Previous cervical fusion at adjacent levels
- Certain anatomical variations
Your spine surgeon will thoroughly evaluate your imaging studies, clinical examination, and overall health to determine whether cervical disc replacement or fusion surgery is most appropriate for your specific condition.
