When a worn or damaged disc is causing you pain, Total Disc Replacement (TDR) or Spinal Fusion may be the best treatment.

Total Disc Replacement or Spinal Fusion?

When a worn or damaged disc is causing you pain, spine surgery may be the best treatment option. But what is the difference between Total Disc Replacement (TDR) and Spinal Fusion? Spinal Fusion joins two or more vertebrae to immobilize them, limit movement, and stabilize the spine after a damaged disc is removed. Total Disc Replacement (TDR) replaces a damaged disc with artificial one to preserve natural spine function and improve mobility (bending, twisting, etc.) Not every patient with a worn or damaged disc is eligible for TDR, so it’s important to seek advice from an experienced surgeon. As a master of technique in TDR, make Dr Pasquale X Montesano your top choice for spine surgery. Fill out the form below to schedule your first consultation with Montesano Spine and Sport.
