@elonmusk artificial disc replacements are very patient specific. Different end plate morphology, constraint, and disc heights. Females and males also different due to the inherent laxity of their tissues and the facets. Prodisc and Simplify best on the market. Great discussion! – at Largo, FL

If you’re experiencing severe neck/back pain, I recommend looking into a disc replacement. If you do, err on the side of a disc with limited movement. A simple hinge is more likely to be effective than a high mobility artificial disc that can translate, as well as rotate.

“It’s time for our orthopedic education to evolve out of the stone ages. We constantly hear sentences like: ‘In my days…’, ‘This how we’ve always done it…’, and ‘If it isn't broken don’t fix it…’”- Brian Handal, D.O., President, RAOAO, Chief Resident at Kettering Health Dayton
