【 摘 要 】

Lumbar total disc arthroplasty (TDA) for the treatment of discogenic low back pain has been shown to relieve pain and restore function while maintaining segmental motion in randomized clinical trials [1–4]. Advantages of TDA over spinal fusion include restoring or maintaining segmental range of motion, allowing for natural segmental alignment, and the potential for limiting adjacent-segment degeneration commonly seen following fusion. Currently available implants in the US involve a direct anterior approach for placement of the prosthesis, although other implants are currently available and in development for placement through other directions of approach.
