  • Alternative approaches

Treatment Approaches

Individualized treatment plans based on your specific anatomy, pathology, and lifestyle requirements.

Artificial Disc Replacement (ADR)
Motion-preserving technology for appropriate candidates

The gold standard for motion preservation when anatomy and pathology are suitable. Dr. Bertagnoli's 10,000+ procedures provide unmatched experience across all device platforms.

Ideal Candidates:

  • Single or multi-level disc disease
  • Preserved facet joints
  • Adequate bone quality
  • Active lifestyle goals
Spinal Fusion
When stability is the primary concern

Appropriate when motion preservation is not suitable due to instability, deformity, or other anatomical factors. Modern techniques minimize adjacent segment stress.

Indications:

  • Significant instability
  • Severe facet arthritis
  • Deformity correction
  • Tumor or infection
Hybrid Surgery
Combining ADR and fusion for optimal outcomes

Strategic combination of motion preservation and fusion at different levels to address complex multi-level pathology while maintaining as much motion as possible.

Applications:

  • Multi-level disease
  • Mixed pathology
  • Adjacent segment prevention
  • Revision scenarios
Revision Surgery
Complex cases requiring specialized expertise

Specialized techniques for failed previous surgeries, including pseudarthrosis repair, adjacent segment disease, and device-related complications.

Expertise Areas:

  • Failed fusion repair
  • Device removal/replacement
  • Infection management
  • Deformity correction
