Artificial cervical disk surgeries are meant to keep the motion active at the spine segment, as compared to fusion in which a spine segment is fused. When a segment is fused, there is increased movement on the levels above and below which may lead to earlier degeneration or disease of those segments causing subsequent problems. Artificial cervical disk is meant to prevent those issues from developing. Though the artificial disk is a comparatively new procedure, but there is enough research to show that in patients who are a good candidate for such a surgery, these surgeries can help a lot, giving results like what fusion has been giving for a long time.
