Summary
This study tested a new artificial disc (NeoDisc) against standard neck fusion surgery in 488 adults with a single damaged disc in the neck. The goal was to see if the new disc is as safe and effective at reducing neck disability, avoiding repeat surgery, and keeping nerves healthy over 24 months. Participants were randomly assigned to get either the NeoDisc or fusion surgery.
