Performing a lumbar total disc replacement is a highly demanding operation. First, you need an excellent Vascular Surgeon who understands what needs to be done. Then the entire disc has to be removed, and the motion segment has to be rebalanced and remobilized. Only after this can the disc replacement be implanted. The replacement has to be sized properly and implanted in a very narrow zone of acceptability for it to function properly.#therealdrc716
