BACKGROUND: The efficacy and safety of using cervical arthroplasty for @entity179 have been demonstrated by prospective, randomized and controlled clinical trials. However, there are scant data on using cervical arthroplasty for traumatic disc herniation. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the outcomes of @entity1 who underwent cervical arthroplasty for traumatic disc herniation. METHODS: This cohort included @entity1 who were admitted through the emergency department for @entity130 . Only @entity1 who had newly-onset, one- or two-level cervical @entity66 causing @entity614 or @entity602 were identified. None of these @entity1 had previously sought for medical attention for such problems. Those @entity1 who had severe @entity1566 (i.e. American @entity3510 Association scale A, B or C) or severe @entity602 (i.e. Nurick scale 4 or 5), bony @entity174 , dislocation, perched facet, @entity85 , or instability were also excluded. An age- and sex-matched one-to-one comparison was made between @entity1 who underwent cervical arthroplasty, on the one hand, and anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). RESULTS: A total of 30 @entity130 @entity1 (15 in the arthroplasty group and 15 in the ACDF group) were analyzed, with a mean follow-up of 29.6  months. The demographic data were similar. Post-operation, the arthroplasty group had significant improvement in VAS of neck and arm @entity158 , JOA, and @entity3040 when compared to their pre-operation status. Similarly, the ACDF group also improved significantly after the operation. There were no differences between the two groups in post-operative VAS neck and arm @entity158 , and JOA scores. The arthroplasty group maintained a range of motion in the indexed levels and had better @entity3040 scores at 6-months post-operation than the ACDF group. CONCLUSIONS: For selected @entity1 (i.e. no @entity1566 , no @entity174 , and no instability) with @entity890 , cervical arthroplasty yields similar improvement in clinical outcomes to ACDF and preserves segmental mobility.
