A prosthetic cervical disc is shown during a multilevel hybrid cervical disc arthroplasty on a patient suffering from multilevel cervical disease during a surgery at William Beaumont Army Medical Center, April 7. The surgery, a different approach to combating cervical disease, involves replacing damaged cervical disc(s) with prosthetic disc(s). The treatment may provide relief for patients by decompressing or relieving pressure on the spinal cord or nerves and restoring stability and alignment.
