Journal ArticleDOI
Complications of artificial disc replacement: a report of 27 patients with the SB Charité disc.
TL;DR: In this relatively small group of patients operated on with a Charité disc prosthesis, most problems arose from degeneration of other lumbar discs, facet joint arthrosis at the same or other levels, and subsidence of the prosthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complications and reoperations of the SB Charité lumbar disc prosthesis: experience in 75 patients
Ilona M. Punt,Violette M. Visser,Lodewijk W. van Rhijn,Steven M. Kurtz,Jop Antonis,Geert Willem H. Schurink,André van Ooij +6 more
TL;DR: Late complications are analysed, removal of the disc prosthesis gives slightly better results than posterior fusion alone after a follow-up of at least 1 year, and the experiences with salvage operations in patients with persistent pain after SB Charité disc prosthetic implantation are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polyethylene wear and rim fracture in total disc arthroplasty.
Steven M. Kurtz,Steven M. Kurtz,André van Ooij,Raymond Ross,Jan de Waal Malefijt,John Peloza,Lauren Ciccarelli,Marta L. Villarraga,Marta L. Villarraga +8 more
TL;DR: This is the first study to quantitatively analyze the long-term PE damage mechanisms in contemporary TDRs, and the evidence of increasing wear with implantation time, along with the demonstrated potential for osteolysis in the spine, is warranted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polyethylene wear debris and long-term clinical failure of the Charité disc prosthesis: a study of 4 patients.
TL;DR: This study demonstrates the clinical significance of polyethylene wear debris and the potential for osteolysis with total disc replacements and recommends that patients undergoing lumbar disc arthroplasty receive long-term follow-up to monitor the wear and functional status of their implants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complications of Artificial Disc Replacement: A Report of 27 Patients with the SB Charité Disc
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of 27 patients from another institution, who presented with unsatisfactory results or complications after SB Charite disc replacement were evaluated with plain radiography, some with flexion-extension x-rays, and most of them with computed tomography scans.
