Patient Selection for Disc Replacement

Ideal candidates for lumbar disc replacement typically:

  • Have persistent discogenic back pain for 6+ months despite conservative care
  • No severe osteoporosis, spinal deformity, active infection
  • No prior major disc surgery
  • Medically fit and within recommended weight limits

Our team evaluates candidacy via MRI, CT and functional assessment before recommending disc replacement.

Common Questions

Q: How soon can I walk after joint replacement?

A: Most patients are encouraged to stand and take steps on the same day or next day with physiotherapy support; timelines vary by procedure and patient health.

Q: Are minimally invasive spine surgeries safe?

A: When performed by experienced spine surgeons, minimally invasive techniques reduce blood loss, scarring and recovery time while delivering excellent outcomes for selected conditions.

Q: Do you offer revision joint surgery?

A: Yes — we evaluate and treat failed or painful joint implants with revision procedures, infection control and reconstruction.
