Dr. Farbod Rastegar Now Offers Improved Treatment for Cervical Disc DIsease

Successful Surgery with Mobi-C Cervical Disc at Two Levels Allows Patient to Maintain Neck Motion

Mobi-C^® Cervical Disc replaces diseased discs in the neck and is designed to maintain motion similar to the natural cervical spine. Traditionally, the same patient would have received a fusion. Fusion surgery, while also replacing diseased discs in the neck, is designed to stop movement at the operated levels. Often times when you fuse, stress can be transferred to the adjacent discs, which can result in additional surgeries or accelerated disc degeneration.^¹

Mobi-C received FDA approval in 2013, making it the first cervical disc in the U.S. approved to treat more than one level of the cervical spine. Upon approval, Mobi-C was non-inferior to fusion at one level and SUPERIOR to fusion at two levels.
