<p>As I related in the video post, the disc replacement is a relatively new compared to most of what&#8217;s out there. It is a pretty elaborate procedure, and the recovery time will vary largely based upon the overall health, weight, age, and fitness of the patient prior to the surgery.</p>
<p>Below is an image of the prosthetic device itself.</p>

<p>Thanks for visiting, in the next installment of this surgery series, I will review the foraminotomy and a brief wrap up. Look for more posts from Israel this week.</p>
<p>Best,</p>
