A Rare Case of Wear Induced Complications after Cervical Disc Replacement

Abstract

Wear-induced complications after cervical disc replacement (CDR) are rare. A literature review on this topic found only a few case reports. We present a case of late complications after implantation of two cervical disc replacements, which resulted in infectious/abrasion-induced mixed-type inflammation with extensive osteolysis. The diagnostic workup, surgical therapy and outcome are presented and discussed with a review of the recent literature.

Abriebinduzierte Komplikationen nach zervikalem Bandscheibenprothesenersatz (C-BSE) sind selten. Hierzu finden sich der Literatur nur vereinzelte Berichte. Wir präsentieren den Fall einer Spätkomplikation nach Implantation von 2 zervikalen Bandscheibenendoprothesen, bei denen es im Verlauf zu ausgedehnten Osteolysen aufgrund eines entzündlichen Geschehens vom infektiösen/abriebinduzierten Mischtyp kam. Die Vorgehensweise und die erzielten Ergebnisse werden gezeigt und auf Grundlage der aktuell verfügbaren Literatur diskutiert.
