Simplify Disc

Extended follow-up of IDE Subjects treated at two continuous levels with the Simplify Cervical Artificial Disc during IDE G150206

Simplify Disc

Intervention Type DEVICE

The Simplify Disc is a cervical artificial disc manufactured from polyether ether ketone (PEEK) endplates and a mobile, zirconia-toughened alumina ceramic core.

Historical Control - Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF)

This study used a non-concurrent historical control with subject-level data on a parallel group design. The historical control group was formed from the randomized ACDF arm of a previously completed two level cervical disc trial.
