SAN FRANCISCO, June 12, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Todd Lanman, MD, of Lanman Spinal Neurosurgery and ADR Spinal Restoration Center, gave several presentations on each of the three days of the 23rd Annual International Society for the Advancement of Spine Surgery Conference (ISASS23) Meeting in San Francisco, California.
In the first session of the conference, Dr. Lanman made a compelling case for why spine surgeons need to have the ability to provide patients with lumbar facet replacement. He presented cases that demonstrate how patients are severely affected by lumbar facet disease, spinal stenosis, and spondylolisthesis from L2 to L5. Dr. Lanman went on to describe how the Total Posterior Spine (TOPS) system, now approved in Europe, is making lumbar facet replacement a reality and greatly improving the lives of patients. Dr. Lanman suggests that total posterior spinal arthroplasty will gradually eclipse spinal fusion for many cases of spondylolisthesis, just as artificial disc replacement has eclipsed fusion for intervertebral disc diseases.
This talk was followed by a panel discussion that included Drs. Todd Lanman, Harel Deutsch, Roland Kent, and Luis Manuel Tumialán.
On the second day of ISASS23, Dr. Lanman reviewed the clinical and radiographic findings associated with periprosthetic osteolysis. In this rare complication of cervical disc replacement, the bone surrounding the implant degenerates. This bone breakdown may loosen the artificial disc, causing pain and dysfunction. Dr. Lanman recommended ways to clinically manage this unusual complication.
On the last day of the conference, Dr. Lanman presented 7-year Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) trial results of the M6-C cervical disc replacement device. Like other cervical disc trials, artificial disc replacement with M6-C is superior to anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) in reducing pain and neck disability. Reoperations rates are similar to other commercially-available artificial discs.
