Résumé
Artificial cervical disc replacement (ACDR) is a widely accepted surgical procedure in the treatment of cervical radiculopathy and myelopathy. However, some research suggests that ACDR may redistribute more load onto the facet joints, potentially leading to postoperative axial pain in certain patients. Earlier studies have indicated that facet tropism is prevalent in the lower cervical spine and can significantly increase facet joint pressure. The present study aims to investigate the changes in the biomechanical environment of the cervical spine after ACDR using different prosthese when facet tropism is present. A C2-C7 cervical spine finite element model was created. Symmetrical, moderate asymmetrical (7 degrees tropism), and severe asymmetrical (14 degrees tropism) models were created at the C5/C6 level by adjusting the left-side facet. C5/C6 ACDR with Prestige LP, Prodisc-C vivo, and Mobi-C were simulated in all models. A 75 N follower load and 1 N⋅m moment was applied to initiate flexion, extension, lateral bending, and axial rotation, and the range of motions (ROMs), facet contact forces(FCFs), and facet capsule stress were recorded. In the presence of facet tropism, all ACDR models exhibited significantly higher FCFs and facet capsule stress compared to the intact model. In the asymmetric model, FCFs on the right side were significantly increased in neutral position, extension, left bending and right rotation, and on both sides in right bending and left rotation compared to the symmetric model. All ACDR model in the presence of facet tropism, exhibited significantly higher facet capsule stresses at all positions compared to the symmetric model. The stress distribution on the facet surface and the capsule ligament in the asymmetrical models was different from that in the symmetrical model. The existence of facet tropism could considerably increase FCFs and facet capsule stress after ACDR with Prestige-LP, Prodisc-C Vivo, and Mobi-C. None of the three different designs of implants were able to effectively protect the facet joints in the presence of facet tropism. Research into designing new implants may be needed to improve this situation. Clinical trials are needed to validate the impact of facet tropism.
