The book documents a major shift in spinal surgery: the transition from traditional fusion (which eliminates motion) to motion-preserving technologies like artificial disc replacement. Core Focus & Content: - Philosophy of Motion Preservation: It explores the science behind maintaining spinal mobility to prevent "adjacent segment disease," where fusion causes accelerated wear on the vertebrae above and below the surgical site; - Device History & Development: Provides a detailed look at the evolution of spinal implants from the mid-1980s through the early 2000s, often featuring insights from the original inventors; - Clinical Techniques: Offers a comprehensive guide to surgical procedures for both lumbar (lower back) and cervical (neck) arthroplasty; - Patient Selection: Outlines specific criteria for identifying which patients are most likely to benefit from artificial discs versus traditional fusion. At its release, the book served as a foundational resource for the "New Era" of spine care, moving the field toward total joint replacement standards similar to those used for hips and knees. It is heavily cited by spine surgeons and researchers for its data on clinical results and long-term stability. -- Contents: Foreword / Alexander R. Vaccaro; Foreword / Stephen H.
