Congress of Neurological Surgeons Annual Meeting

Tuesday, September 29, 2015 | New Orleans, Louisiana

At this leading scientific meeting on spinal surgery, Dr. McConnell presented the results of a clinical study involving the Prestige-LP cervical disc arthroplasty device. The FDA investigational device exemption (IDE) clinical trial compared the Prestige-LP total disc device to replace two consecutive discs in the neck versus the traditional surgery of two level disc fusion. At 5-year follow-up, patients who received the Prestige-LP two level artificial disc replacement achieved superior overall clinical results when compared to the fusion patients.
