Mobi-C® Cervical Disc
Healthy cervical discs allow side-to-side, right-to-left, and backward and forward motion in the neck, but degenerated cervical discs can cause bulging or herniation of the discs, spinal canal stenosis, myelopathy, radiculopathy, and other problems that cause pain, weakness, numbness, or limited function. Fusion surgery is often used to correct degenerative cervical discs, but Mobi-C® implants offer more natural movement than fusion surgery does.
A spine surgeon removes unhealthy discs and replaces them with artificial discs when performing Mobi-C® and fusion surgery, using implants between the discs to keep pressure off of the nerves and spinal cord. Mobi-C® implants, unlike the bone spaces used in fusion surgery, fit completely into the disc space and metal plates and screws are not used to keep the new cervical discs from moving. Mobi-C® implants are designed specifically to allow neck movement instead of restricting it.
Benefits of surgery with Mobi-C® include:
- Damaged discs are removed and replaced with new discs
- Can help retain side-to-side, right-to-left, and backward and forward movement
- Matches disc heights to remove pressure on nerves and spinal cord
- May lessen pain, weakness, numbness, and other symptoms caused by damaged cervical discs
