The number one injury in the PGA tour is lower back pain, often caused by the rotational twist of the low back when swinging. While some golfers may not be candidates for Artificial Disc Replacement, like Tiger Woods who underwent several spine surgeries including fusion, ADR can help golfers maintain motion, preserve a proper golf swing, and help offload the pressure on the spinal discs and facet joints.

How long does an Artificial Disc Replacement last?

How long does an Artificial Disc Replacement last? The short answer is many decades, but most ADR recipients can expect their artificial disc replacement to last a lifetime.

ADR lasts at least ten years (and likely the rest of your life) for more than 90% of patients. Simulated wear studies indicate they could last anywhere from 40-100 years. Since ADR surgery is only performed on adults, ADR at any level is typically a once-in-a-lifetime surgery.

Between the eleven spine surgeries that Dr. Lanman

Between the eleven spine surgeries that Dr. Lanman has undergone, there were many hard lessons learned and recoveries experienced. The hardest recovery was a fusion in his L4-5 and L5S1, which was required because his vein in the area had too much scarring from previous surgeries to support an artificial disc. While it wasn’t the surgery he wanted, it was the surgery he needed to correct his issues and heal.

Dr. Lanman understands what his patients are going through, because he’s been through it too.

In most cases, back pain won’t require surgery.

In most cases, back pain won’t require surgery. Before surgery can be considered an option, doctors and surgeons will recommend more conservative treatment modalities that are less invasive, more affordable, and less disruptive to your normal life.

Some options include medications, injections, or alternative options like physical therapy. Understand your options to treat your back pain without surgery at the link in bio.

Part of ADR’s ethos is always learning, always innovating, and always getting better. That’s why Dr. Lanman recently attended the 3Spine Surgeon Training in Memphis, TN, for the BalancedBack total joint replacement investigational device, a new clinical trial we’re starting. This new artificial disc can be placed in from the back, not through the abdomen. Joining him was Nicole, Dr. Lanman’s ADR study coordinator.

For the surgeon, minimally invasive fusions are do

For the surgeon, minimally invasive fusions are done in a much smaller space via a tube, so it’s technically a more challenging procedure. For the patient, the hardest part may be that there’s little benefit to choosing a minimally invasive route for fusion over open surgery, and the recovery time remains the same.

For both of these reasons, Dr. Lanman has moved away from the most minimally invasive tube fusions to provide maximum benefits to the patient without adding recovery time.

Exercising regularly can both relieve and prevent

Exercising regularly can both relieve and prevent back and neck pain. While working out might be the last thing on your mind when you are in pain, if performed correctly, it is excellent for your spine and health in the long run - just make sure you always use proper form. Some notable benefits of exercise include:

• Alleviates pain from discs and compression of nerves in the spine

• Core exercise strengthens back muscles

• Regulates stress levels

• Creates an internal bracing system to protect your back

After 11 surgeries Dr. Lanman is able to work out regularly and encourages his patients to do the same!

While Dr. Lanman has decades of experience behind

While Dr. Lanman has decades of experience behind his surgical mastery, he is no stranger to the patient side of spine surgery. He has undergone 11 spine surgeries himself - 4 cervical and 7 lumbar - over the years, including ADR and fusions, as a result of injuries and degenerative disc disease. Having gone through exactly what his patients go through, Dr. Lanman has a uniquely personal and empathetic perspective - he understands the fears, anxieties, pain, and discomfort that his patients experience because he’s been in their shoes.

Part of being at the forefront of spinal surgery i

Part of being at the forefront of spinal surgery innovations is investigating long-term complications to improve the efficacy of disc implants throughout a patient’s lifetime. In 2020, Dr. Lanman participated in a study exploring the mechanical failure of the Mobi-C cervical disc implant in four cases.

Dynamic imaging revealed segmental kyphosis at the implant level, which can occur either immediately after surgery or at a delayed time. To avoid this in the future, investigators recommended increasing vigilance with surgical technique and patient selection as well as utilizing dynamic radiographs for all patients who have neck pain following cervical disc replacement. While still an alternative to fusion, cervical ADR should be reserved for select, especially younger and high-functioning, patients.

After cervical ADR surgeries, you may find you hav

After cervical ADR surgeries, you may find you have a bit of a sore throat due to the anterior incision, but patients typically experience more soreness in the muscles in the back of the neck and the traps because the surgeon must stretch the ligaments to replace the degenerative disc. There may be a few weeks of an achy neck, but it’s worth it if it could possibly be the very last neck ache you have.

After lumbar ADR surgeries, you’ll experience mild soreness through the abdomen where the incision was made. The lower back will be sore too, but you’ll be up and walking out of the outpatient facility in 4-to-6 hours following the procedure.

All you’ll need is a simple pain pill to manage the discomfort during the first 4-5 days. After that, the pain begins to taper, you’ll start to feel better and recover your mobility.

Deformity correction surgery to fix a patient who

Deformity correction surgery to fix a patient who was fused in a bad position of relative kyphosis, also known as “flat back deformity”. That’s right, Drs. Cuellar and Lanman of Advanced Disc Replacement and Spinal Restoration Center don’t just do disc replacement surgery, sometimes they have to perform complex revision fusion surgery such as this one.

This patient could hardly stand up right for more than 10 minutes without severe low back and leg pain.

This case highlights the importance of having the right spinal surgeon and surgery the first time to avoid the need for complex revision surgery.

For east coast patients you now have the option to be seen in Florida if you prefer. Call 305-459-3175.

Dr. Lanman recently presented at the International

Dr. Lanman recently presented at the International Society for the Advancement of Spine Surgery (@ISASS_Official) conference to share his insights and findings on the new frontier of artificial disc replacement. Dr. Lanman spoke with attendees at the conference at the Atlantis Hotel on various areas of his expertise, including restorative motion fusion, the ongoing debates around hybrid motion surgery vs. fusion, normal and abnormal bone changes seen following ADR, and controversies surrounding insurance companies and their perspectives of cervical disc replacement vs. fusion.
