Prosthetic Disc Replacement

Hello DPT Bloggers,

In what is becoming a trend in my writings of late, I found another story of an injury sustained to an athlete and this one is having a unique procedure. You will find in your PT career that many, or even most of your patients, that you treat will have back or neck injuries.This St. Louis Cardinal, however, may have his professional baseball career in jeopardy as they are going to surgically manage a cervical disc problem with the implantation of a prosthetic disc. OK! OK? I am intrigued and wait to hear more about this. Certainly I have read a great deal on disc issues of the spine, but not this procedure, and certainly not one on a person so young.

Together with you in His service,
