DOCS Health of Los Angeles Leads Groundbreaking Artificial Disc Replacement Study for Centinel Spine®, LLC
LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) August 01, 2023 -- DOCS Health of Los Angeles, California, is proud to announce the completion of enrollment for Centinel Spine’s 2-Level prodisc® SMART™ total disc replacement clinical study, with excellent patient outcomes. The study was a nationwide clinical trial for patients who have been diagnosed with symptomatic cervical disc disease (SCDD) and would be undergoing discectomy (removal of a cervical disc) at two contiguous levels. The prodisc® C Vivo and prodisc® C SK are next-generation cervical total disc replacements (TDRs) that provide patients with an alternative to traditional cervical fusion, and the products are designed to preserve motion and offer stability at the treated cervical levels. DOCS Health’s involvement as primary investigators shows the clinic’s commitment to the exploration of innovative technology. DOCS Health is leading the medical forefront in spine surgery by collaborating with major academic universities around the nation with multiple successful research studies. The physician-owned spine and orthopedic practice in Los Angeles specializes in minimally invasive spine surgery, total joint replacement, sports medicine, pain management and rehabilitation. The team of experts at DOCS Health is truly committed to providing the most advanced technology for musculoskeletal conditions and injuries, and the results of this study will provide critical data for future treatment options. If FDA-approved, the prodisc® C Vivo and prodisc® C SK will allow more options for spinal surgeons to choose from, so they can select the appropriate artificial disc, based on a patient’s unique anatomy and condition.
“We are currently following up on long-term data to thoroughly evaluate these next-generation TDR devices as an alternative to anterior cervical discectomy and fusion,” says Dr. Albert Wong.
