    The intervertebral disc is removed and replaced with a small plug of bone or other graft substitute, along with a height restoration device to un-impinge nerves, and in time, the vertebrae will fuse together. Intervertebral disc arthroplasty: also called Artificial Disc Replacement (ADR), or Total Disc Replacement (TDR), is a type of arthroplasty.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_herniation

    Some authors favour degeneration of the intervertebral disc as the major cause of spinal disc herniation and cite trauma as a minor cause. [7] Disc degeneration occurs both in degenerative disc disease and aging. [8] With degeneration, the disc components – the nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus – become exposed to altered loads ...

    [13] (see also: Intervertebral disc arthroplasty) Other degeneration of the vertebral column includes diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) [14] which is the calcification or ossification of the ligaments surrounding the vertebrae.

  6. Spondylosis deformans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spondylosis_deformans

    Spondylosis deformans is a disease of the spine in humans and other vertebrates. It occurs when intervertebral discs begin to degenerate, leading to the formation of bony spurs or bridges around the disc and nearby spinal joints. Severe cases can result in pressure on the spinal nerves, causing neurological signs and symptoms. [1]

  7. Total disc replacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_Disc_Replacement

    Total disc replacement (TDR), or artificial disc replacement (ADR), is a type of arthroplasty in which degenerated intervertebral discs in the vertebral column are replaced with artificial disc implants in the lumbar (lower) or cervical (upper) spine.
