Abstract
The technique for anterior cervical arthroplasty using the PRESTIGE LP (Medtronic Sofamor Danek, Memphis, TN) cervical disc is illustrated. Surgical positioning and the operative approach are demonstrated. Our methods of retractor placement and surgical exposure are discussed. The technique used for decompression and endplate preparation is presented in detail. Optimal arthroplasty device positioning is demonstrated. The surgical pearls and pitfalls of anterior cervical arthroplasty are highlighted.
