What Is Total Disc Replacement?

Total Disc Replacement (TDR), also known as artificial disc replacement, is a minimally invasive spine surgery that replaces a damaged spinal disc with a prosthetic implant. Unlike spinal fusion—which restricts movement at the treated level—TDR allows your spine to retain its natural flexibility and function.

Ideal Candidates for Disc Replacement:

  • Active patients who want to avoid spinal stiffness
  • Individuals with degenerative disc disease (DDD) or disc herniation
  • Those seeking motion-preserving treatment for localized neck or back pain
  • Patients looking to recover faster and reduce wear on nearby spinal levels

Conditions We Treat with Disc Replacement

Disc replacement may be recommended if you’ve been diagnosed with:

  • Cervical or lumbar degenerative disc disease
  • Herniated discs that don’t respond to therapy
  • Chronic discogenic pain without major instability
  • Disc collapse where spinal alignment is preserved

We perform a detailed evaluation of your symptoms, history, and imaging to determine whether disc replacement is the best option.

Benefits of Artificial Disc Replacement

TDR offers a wide range of advantages for the right patient—especially those who want to stay mobile and return to active living:

  • Preserved range of motion in the spine
  • Lower risk of degeneration in adjacent discs
  • Quicker recovery and return to work or daily routines
  • Improved posture and spinal mechanics
  • Minimally invasive technique for less downtime

This is especially important for Bronx residents balancing work, commuting, and family life.

What to Expect: Procedure & Recovery

During Surgery:

  • Procedure takes approximately 1–2 hours
  • Performed under general anesthesia
  • The damaged disc is removed and replaced with a prosthetic
  • Designed to relieve nerve pressure and restore disc height

Recovery Timeline:

  • Most patients go home within 24 hours
  • Light activity resumes within 1–2 weeks
  • Physical therapy may be recommended (arranged via referral)
  • Follow-up visits take place at our Bronx office

Our team is committed to supporting your safe, steady recovery every step of the way.
