Here is the basic difference between the two procedures: in a spinal fusion, the degenerative disc is removed and the vertebrae on either side are fused together with hardware. This provides stability and pain relief. A disc replacement, on the other hand, replaces the old disc with a new artificial disc that simulates the function of a healthy disc. Total disc replacements allow the patient to retain range of motion that spine fusions do not. That being said, both procedures have their merits and are good in certain situations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a137003 e-con-full e-flex elementor-invisible e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5a137003\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-59420cb5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"59420cb5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Disc Replacement Surgeon in Minnesota <\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8f7ca5b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8f7ca5b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>If you are in constant back pain, an artificial disc replacement surgery may be your ticket back to living a pain free life.
