Context: Cervical radiculopathy and myelopathy is one of the most frequent ailments encountered
by spine surgeon. Motion-preserving surgeries in cervical spine is a standard of care
due to its certain advantages such as biomechanical anatomical conformity, reduced
chances of adjacent segment degeneration, and revision surgeries. While there is abundant
data from some centers, data from developing countries are still limited. Aims: The aim was to study the clinico-radiological outcome of single-level and hybrid
total disc replacement (TDR) with Spineart Baguera® -C cervical prosthesis for cervical myeloradiculopathy. Settings and Design: Retrospective study. Materials and Methods: Retrospective analysis of the 29 consecutive patient undergoing single level TDR
and hybrid fixation (i.e., TDR with anterior cervical discectomy and fusion) with
Spineart Baguera® -C cervical prosthesis for myeloradiculopathy from January 1, 2014 to December 31,
2017, was done. Radiological features and outcome were studied from data collected
on Insta-picture archiving and communication system. Statistical Analysis Used: SAS 9.4 was used for all computations. Results on continuous measurements were presented
as mean and standard deviation (min-max) and results on categorical measurements were
presented as numbers (n) and percentages. Results: Twenty-nine patients were included in the study. The mean age was 43.31 ± 9.04 years
with 14 males and 15 females. The most common level of TDR was C5-C6 (72.41%). The
mean follow-up duration was 3.14 years ± 1.13 years (2–5 years). The mean hospital
stay was 4.93 ± 2.12 days. The mean neck disability index (NDI) at admission was 27.24
± 7.66 which decreased to 6.41 ± 4.29 at final follow-up. Conclusions: Two-year data on treatment with Spineart Baguera® -C cervical prosthesis shows significantly improved NDI, visual analog scale (arm)
with maintenance of movement of the prosthesis.
