[Expert consensus on clinical application of cervical artificial disc replacement].

Cervical artificial disc replacement preserves the range of motion after the decompression, and this technology has achieved good clinical results. The indications, surgical procedures, and perioperative management of cervical disc arthroplasty are different from traditional anterior cervical decompression and fusion. The Health Management and Enhanced Recovery of Cervical Spine Disorders Committee, Chinese Research Hospital Association has established an expert group to draw up this expert consensus through literature analysis and professional discussions. The purpose of this consensus is to standardize the surgical indications and patient selection of cervical artificial disc replacement, to guide surgical procedures and perioperative management, and to improve the clinical outcomes of cervical artificial disc replacement.
