In May 2009, the Bryan Cervical Artificial Disc received FDA approval. T
his approval was previously written about in Dr. Sasso’s blog. The cervical artificial disc provides an alternative spine surgical treatment for cervical degenerative disc disease.
Dr. Rick Sasso, a spine surgeon with Indiana Spine Group, has been a principal investigator in the studies with this spine surgical device – the Bryan Cervical Disc. A few of abstracts of his published research studies regarding the cervical disc are available on the U.S. National Library of Medicine / National Institutes of Health web site.
These include:
- Cervical kinematics after spinal fusion and bryan disc arthroplasty
- Motion analysis of bryan cervical disc arthroplasty versus anterior discectomy and spinal fusion: results from a prospective, randomized, multicenter, clinical trial
