Cervical Hybrid Surgery | Dr. Todd Lanman

Much like a hybrid car that has a new electric engine and a more traditional gasoline one, sometimes cervical spine surgeries require both a new and traditional combined solution. If you have several degenerative discs in your neck, some may not be suitable for ADR, which is likened to the “new engine” in this car metaphor. Discs that are terribly arthritic, for example, may require fusion, which we can compare to the “traditional gas engine.”  A cervical hybrid surgery combines both of these methods, just like a hybrid car, using at least one disc fusion along with an artificial disc replacement above or below it to produce the best results.
