SKU: S11a01002

This exhibit depicts a C3-4 anterior cervical discectomy with the placement of an artificial disc. The procedure begins with an incision over the anterior neck, exposing C3-4. Distraction pins are placed and a midline C3-4 disc herniation is removed. Bilateral foraminotomies are then performed to decompress the cervical nerve roots. The vertebral endplates are decorticated with a high speed drill, and an artificial disc is impacted into the disc space.
