Cervical Disc Arthroplasty Device Failure Causing Progressive Cervical Myelopathy and Requiring Revision Cervical Corpectomy
Although failure of a cervical disc arthroplasty device is rare, the likelihood can be significantly increased with poor sizing (over or under sizing), asymmetric placement, endplate violation, or poor patient selection. In the case presented herein, early device failure was unrecognized, and the patient went on to develop progressive cervical myelopathy requiring revision corpectomy.
