INTRODUCTION

Lumbar total disc replacement (TDR) is an alternative treatment to avoid fusion related adverse events, specifically adjacent segment disease. New generation of elastomeric non-articulating devices have been developed to more effectively replicate the shock absorption and flexural stiffness of native disc. This study reports 5 years clinical and radiographic outcomes, range of motion and position of the center of rotation after a viscoelastic TDR.

Material and methods

This prospective observational cohort study included 61 consecutive patients with monosegmental TDR. We selected patients with intermediate functional activity according to Baecke score. Hybrid constructs had been excluded. Only cases with complete clinical and radiological follow-up at 3, 6, 12, 24 and 60 months were included. Mean age at the time of surgery was 42.8 +7.7 years-old (27–60) and mean BMI was 24.2 kg/m² +3.4 (18–33). TDR level was L5-S1 in 39 cases and L4-L5 in 22 cases.

The clinical evaluation was based on Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) score, Short Form-36 (SF36) including physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS) and General Health Questionnaire GHQ28. The radiological outcomes were range of motion and position of the center of rotation at the index and the adjacent levels and the adjacent disc height changes.

Introduction

The viscoelastic cervical disk prosthesis CP-ESP is an innovative one-piece deformable but cohesive interbody spacer. It is an evolution of the LP-ESP lumbar disk implanted since 2006. The implant provides 6 full degrees of freedom including shock absorption. The design allows a limitation for rotation and translation with resistance to motion (elastic return property) aimed at avoiding overload of the posterior facets. The rotation center can vary freely during motion. It thus differs substantially from current prostheses.

This study reports the clinical results of a prospective observational study series of 89 patients who are representative of the current use of the ESP implant since 2012.

The radiological results are focused on the evolution of the mean center of rotation (MCR) as an additional information to the range of motion (ROM) for the evaluation of the quality of spine movement.

Materials and Methods

89 patients (33 males, mean age 45 years [28–60], 107 implants) were included for an open, prospective and non-randomized study between October 2012 and December 2015.

One level patients were at C3C4 (3), C4C5 (3), C5C6 (41) C6C7 (24) C7T1 (1)

Two levels patients were C4C5/C5C6 (3), C5C6/C6C7 (12), C6C7/C7D1 (1) and 3 levels C4C5/C5C6/C6C7 (1)

Introduction

The viscoelastic cervical disk prosthesis ESP is an innovative one-piece deformable but cohesive interbody spacer. It is an evolution of the LP ESP lumbar disk implanted since 2006. CP ESP provides 6 full degrees of freedom about the 3 axes including shock absorption. The prosthesis geometry allows limited rotation and translation with resistance to motion (elastic return property) aimed at avoiding overload of the posterior facets. The rotation center can vary freely during motion (figure 1)

It thus differs substantially from current prostheses. This study reports the results of a prospective series of 49 patients who are representative of the current use of the ESP implant since 2012.

Material and methods

The surgeries were performed by 3 senior surgeons. There were 34 women and 15 men in this group. The average age was 44±7 (32–59). The implantation was single level in 78 % of cases. 55 CP ESP prostheses were analyzed.

Clinical data and X-rays were collected at the preoperative time and at 3, 6, and 12 months post-op.

The functional results were measured using Neck and Arm VAS, NDI, SF-36, (physical componentPCS and mental component MCS). The analysis was performed by a single observer who was independent from the selection of patients and from the surgical procedure.

Introduction

The viscoelastic lumbar disk prosthesis ESP is an innovative one-piece deformable but cohesive interbody spacer; it provides 6 full degrees of freedom about the 3 axes including shock absorption. The prosthesis geometry allows limited rotation and translation with resistance to motion (elastic return property) aimed at avoiding overload of the posterior facets. The rotation center can vary freely during motion. It thus differs substantially from current prostheses. This study reports the results of a prospective series of 120 patients who are representative of the current use of the ESP implant since 2006.

Material and methods

The surgeries were performed by 2 senior surgeons. There were 73 women and 47 men in this group. The average age was 42 (27–60). The average body mass index was 24.2 kg/m2 (18–33). The implantation was single level in 89% of cases. 134 ESP prostheses were analyzed.

Clinical data and X-rays were collected at the preoperative time and at 3, 6, 12, 24, and 36 months post-op.

The functional results were measured using VAS, GHQ 28, ODI, SF-36, (physical component PCS and mental component MCS. The analysis was performed by a single observer who was independent from the selection of patients and from the surgical procedure.
