For those suffering from chronic back pain one of the attractive alternatives to spinal infusion recently offered is disc replacement surgery. However, recent reports confirm that disc replacement surgery can cause more harm than good. There are several pending lawsuits against the manufacturers of the implants due to surgical complications and malfunctioning devices with many patients across America stepping out and speaking the truth about their disc replacement surgery.

Disc Replacement Surgery
Disc replacement surgery comprises of artificial disc replacement and total disc replacement. Both are a surgical procedure in which the damaged discs in the spine are replaced with artificial devices. This replacement occurs in the lumbar (the lower) or the cervical (upper) spine.
In the United States there have been two FDA approved systems used for disc replacements:
- The Charite, manufactured y DePuy Orthopedics, a subsidiary of the Johnson and Johnson Company
- The ProDisc, manufactured by Synthase
If you have experienced an artificial disc replacement (ADR) or total disc replacement (TDR) and are experiencing painful and life threatening complications, then contact TSR Injury Law Firm today!
Disc Replacement Implant Warnings
Although these discs have been approved they have also been linked to several failed instances in patients across Europe and the United States. The surgery is still considered experimental and comes with several serious complications including:
- Continued pain
- Infection
- A significant risk of revision surgery
Disc Replacement Surgery Lawsuit
The American Association of Orthopedic Surgery suggests that this surgery is far too risky and does not produce adequate results to justify the risks involved. Since the two systems have been brought to the United States there have been several pending class action lawsuits filed against the companies of both the Charite Artificial Disc and the Pro Disc Artificial Disc implant.
If you have had disc replacement surgery then you expect the pain to disappear, not worsen. Disc replacement surgery is complicated and intense and because it is not covered by medical plans in the United States, it is also extremely expensive and involves a long recovery time. If you have had a disc replacement surgery and are still experiencing pain and complications, then you may need a revision surgery to correct the problem which means more money, more recovery time and more risk.
