Gold Coast Spine and our partners at Bond University are proud to announce that our latest mid-term outcome paper has been published in 𝘚𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘦, which is recognised internationally as the leading journal in its field.

This study evaluates the clinical and patient reported outcomes of 122 participants who underwent multi-level lumbar total disc replacement (TDR) between 1999 and 2009.

The results show that improvements in both back and leg pain and function can be achieved when multi-level lumbar TDR is used to treat multi-level spinal disease. This open access paper may be accessed here.

Thank you to all our study participants!
