Spine transplant is a boon for young patients who suffer severe back injury in accidents.

Disc Transplant has come as a boon to those suffering from irretrievable spinal damage.Specially youngsters who suffer spinal damage in serious accidents can look forward to leading normal life thanks to the spinal transplant. Traditional surgery involved fusion.And in this to give relief to the patient,the bones were artificially fused together but it used to severely impact mobility. Particularly it was not very useful for young patients as it impacted movement and thus they could not lead normal life.Now a days artificial disc replacement is done in which a device is planted into spine and it does the role of actual Disc ,carry load and offer mobility.The overall impact of this surgery are very positive.
