** Pioneers of Dynamic Spine Surgery in Spain**

Our surgical team, led by Dr. Ferrández, has been at the forefront of dynamic spine surgery in Spain. With extensive experience dating back to 1998, we have a proven track record of successfully implementing motion preservation techniques, including artificial disc replacement, for patients seeking to maintain spinal flexibility.

Expertise in Cervical Disc Replacement

Dr. Ferrández was the first surgeon in Spain to implant Bryan cervical disc prostheses in 1998 and the first to utilize the Medtronic Maverick prosthesis in 2002. He has since performed numerous cervical disc replacements, prioritizing meticulous surgical technique to optimize patient outcomes.

Key Considerations for Successful Cervical Disc Replacement

  • Preservation of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament: We emphasize careful preservation of this ligament to maintain stability and prevent kyphotic collapse.
  • Minimizing Bone Dust: We utilize techniques to minimize the generation of bone dust during surgery, reducing the risk of heterotopic ossification and subsequent loss of motion.
  • Careful Patient Selection: We prioritize patients with minimal joint degeneration to maximize the benefits of motion preservation.

Lumbar Disc Replacement: Expertise in Anterior Approaches

Our team has extensive experience in anterior retroperitoneal approaches for both lumbar disc replacement and fusion procedures. This approach minimizes disruption to the posterior spinal muscles, resulting in faster recovery and reduced postoperative pain. We collaborate with a Vascular Surgeon to ensure the safety and efficacy of these procedures.

Preferred Artificial Discs for Lumbar Motion Preservation

We utilize restricted mobility artificial discs, such as the ESP (FH Orthopedics) and the forthcoming Freedom (Axiomed), which provide excellent segmental stability while allowing for a more natural range of motion.

Benefits of Dynamic Spine Surgery

  • Motion Preservation: Maintains spinal flexibility and reduces the risk of adjacent segment degeneration.
  • Faster Recovery: Minimally invasive techniques and careful surgical planning promote quicker return to activity.
  • Improved Quality of Life: Patients can often resume a more active lifestyle with less pain and limitations.
