人造光盘更换

What is Artificial Disk Replacement?

人造磁盘置换是一种脊柱手术，通常用于帮助恢复一个或两个受损椎间盘的患者的运动。机械装置代替了因退行性疾病或腔内切除术综合征破坏的盘。当严重的颈部或手臂疼痛在更保守的治疗（包括药物和物理疗法）之后，可能会被称为关节置换术，也称为关节置换术。它在2004年被FDA批准为脊柱融合手术的替代方法，有助于保持更正常的运动。

脖子和脊柱解剖

脊柱分为以下区域：

• The cervical region (vertebrae C1-C7) encompasses the first seven vertebrae under the skull. Their main function is to support the weight of the head, which averages 10 pounds. The cervical vertebrae are more mobile than other areas, with the atlas and axis vertebra facilitating a wide range of motion in the neck. Openings in these vertebrae allow arteries to carry blood to the brain and permit the spinal cord to pass through. They are the thinnest and most delicate vertebrae.
• 胸部区域（椎骨T1-T12）由上胸部的12个小骨头组成。胸椎是唯一支撑肋骨的椎骨。姿势不良，关节炎和骨质疏松症的肌肉紧张是该地区疼痛的常见来源。
• 腰部区域（椎骨L1-L5）具有更大的椎骨，以吸收举重和携带重物的压力。腰部区域的伤害会导致臀部，腿部和膀胱控制的功能损失。
• s骨区域（椎骨S1-S5）在脊柱底部包括一个大骨。ac骨是三角形的，由五个保护骨盆器官的熔融骨头组成。

Reasons for Artificial Disk Replacement

Disks provide cushioning between vertebrae in the spine. Age or injury can contribute to damage that causes pain, weakness, and numbness. Often, physical therapy and other treatments help alleviate the pain. But when serious discomfort persists, an artificial disk may be an option to support the vertebrae, while still allowing a wide range of motion. The procedure is typically considered for patients when only one or two vertebrae are affected, when there is no joint disease, and when there is no bony compression on spinal nerves. MRI, CT scans, and X-rays can be used to determine good candidates for disk replacement surgery.

Unlike a spinal fusion, an artificial disk replacement should allow more motion to be preserved. Patients can typically return to activity faster after this procedure than fusions because they do not have to wait for the bones to grow into a solid mass.

What to expect during surgery and recovery

Surgery will typically take two or three hours. While the patient is under general anesthesia, the neurosurgeon makes an incision to access the spine. Tiny instruments are used to remove the damaged disk and to implant the mechanical device in its place. The surgery typically requires a hospital of two to four nights for monitoring and to treat pain.

鼓励患者从麻醉中康复后立即开始在医院中行走，并逐渐提高活动水平。可能建议进行门诊物理疗法或自我指导的康复。大多数患者在八周内恢复正常活动水平。您的外科医生将为您提供与您的状况和生活方式目标有关的特定信息，以及有关如何使最佳康复的手术和指示的详细说明。
