Cervical total disc replacement with the Mobi-C cervical artificial disc compared with anterior discectomy and fusion for treatment of 2-level symptomatic degenerative disc disease: a prospective, randomized, controlled multicenter clinical trial

Abstract: The results of this study represent the first available Level I clinical evidence in support of cervical arthroplasty at 2 contiguous levels of the cervical spine using the Mobi-C cervical artificial disc. These results continue to support the use of cervical arthroplasty in general, but specifically demonstrate the advantages of 2-level arthroplasty over 2-level ACDF. Clinical trial registration no.: NCT00389597 (ClinicalTrials.gov).

“…12 In brief, this was a prospective, randomized multicenter study at 24 clinical sites between April 2006 and March 2008 comparing the outcome of cTDR (Mobi-C) versus ACDF. The control group underwent ACDF with a corticocancellous allograft and an anterior cervical plate.…”

“…1). 12 A 2:1 randomization design has been suggested as a way to improve the cost-effectiveness of clinical trials when there is a notable difference in cost between treatments. An unbalanced randomization is also appropriate as a way to increase patient access to a new therapy, especially when the outcomes of the control therapy are well understood.…”

“…Numerous studies have demonstrated, however, that both cTDR and ACDF achieved comparatively similar improvements in all clinical outcome parameters [3,4,6,8,9,13,14]. However, a number of studies demonstrated that at short-and mid-term FU, the rates of post-operative revision surgeries were significantly lower and in favour of cTDR [1,3,5,15]. The underlying reasons for this observation included implant and technique-related issues, which were linked to the fusion of the segments (i.e.…”

“…However, there are scarce data focusing on the extent of the post-CDA changes in segmental mobility or their clinical correlations. While the aforementioned Food and Drug Administration (FDA) trials successfully demonstrated preserved segmental mobility (as reflected by mean ROM) after CDA in hundreds of patients, 3,4,10,11,17,24,25,28,34 these trials did not address individual differences in change of mobility after CDA-in other words, a patient whose segmental mobility might increase (e.g., preoperative flexion and extension ROM of 6° at C5-6 increasing to 12° after surgery) or decrease after CDA (e.g., preoperative ROM of 12° decreasing to 6° after surgery). These two patients would be summed up as representing preservation of segmental mobility at an average ROM of 9°.…”
