Motion-Preserving Surgery
Artificial Disc Replacement in Tijuana, Mexico
A damaged disc is replaced with a mobile implant that preserves natural motion — often used as an alternative to spinal fusion.
What is this procedure?
Artificial disc replacement removes a damaged or degenerated spinal disc and replaces it with an artificial implant designed to preserve natural motion at that spinal segment, unlike fusion, which eliminates motion entirely.
By maintaining mobility, disc replacement may reduce stress on adjacent spinal segments over time, which is a consideration for younger, active patients with single-level disc disease and no significant instability.
Your surgeon will review your imaging and overall spinal alignment to determine whether disc replacement or fusion is the better fit for your specific case.
