Cervical Total Disc Replacement Device Market – Overview
The global cervical total disc replacement market was valued at US$ 771.6 million in 2017, and is expected
to witness a CAGR of 22.1% over the forecast period (2018 – 2026).
Cervical total disk replacement devices are used to replace torn out/thinning, herniated or bulging disc in
cervical spine area. Cervical spine has vertebrae separated by disc. This disc consist of gel like structure
(nucleus pulpous), which functions as cushion and therefore act as shock absorber. Cervical disc allows
smooth movement of the neck. Cervical disc when undergo degeneration, space between two vertebrae
narrows down leading to cervical degenerative disc disorder. Cervical degenerative disc disorder is
characterized by symptoms such as neck inflexibility, constant neck pain (especially at night), and stiffness.
It may also cause radiating pain in arms, arm weakness, and numbness. Herniated disc is form of cervical
degenerative disc disorder in which disc brakes open and its inner core leaks out of disc and presses on
nerve root. Total disc replacement surgery is performed when other treatment options such as
pharmacological drug therapy or physiotherapy are unable to cure the condition. These artificial disc also
called Cervical Total Disc Replacement (C-TDR) preserves the motion disc space, helps in neck motion,
reduces cervical degenerative disc disorders, and reduces future complications and need of bone graft for
spine fusion.
