Cutting edge spinal interventions.
Your cervical
solutions.
As German Spine Specialists, we are internationally recognized as one of the leading centers worldwide for cervical artificial disc replacement. With years of experience, the highest number of cervical artificial disc implantations in Europe, and patients traveling to us from around the globe, we set the standard in motion-preserving spine care.

5 questions you should ask.
Can I expect complete mobility again?
When is the right time for surgical intervention?
Which brands/types of implants do you use, and why?
Have the implants been extensively tested and researched?
Should I rather trust a senior neurosurgeon or an orthopedic surgeon?
Regaining complete mobility is always the goal. The repair of the diseased spinal segments often results in an even better mobility. Our patients greatly benefit from short recuperation, returning to work or other activities earlier and have significantly less future problems like adjacent level disease.
A surgery is principally the last resort. However, particularly in the cervical spine early intervention is often advisable in order to prevent neurological deficits and multi-level degeneration.
When it comes to quality and applicability, not all implant types come into question. In fact, there are special criteria that demand diligent differentiation during the indication process, e.g. your individual pathology or anatomy. Understanding how and why the indications may differ is important and something to discuss with your senior surgeon.
In Germany, all medical devices (which includes spinal implants) must have undergone extensive scientific evaluation and have a proven track record. Using nonfusion technology, Germany has a long tradition of over 25 years. We only use surgical techniques that have been approved by the German authorities and provide an advantage to other methods.
ONZ spine department is a neurosurgical center specialized in spine. Our vertebrate spinal column provides intrinsic protection to the neural elements. Most spine diseases involve nerval structures including stenosis, disc herniations, adhesions, and scar tissue. Surgical solutions belong in the hands of experienced neurosurgeons. Principally, also orthopedic surgeons can specialize in lumbar spine surgery (as opposed to cervical interventions which are merely the field of neurosurgery) if surgeons are meticulous and precise.
