Study Population

Both retrospective and prospective study subjects that have cervical degenerative disc disease requiring treatment with the Synergy Spine Solutions Synergy Disc.

Prospective study cohort: All patients for whom it has been decided that the Synergy Spine Solutions Synergy Disc will be implanted at participating investigative centers and give informed consent to participate in the prospective segment of this protocol.

Retrospective study cohort: Patients who have previously had a Synergy Spine Solutions Synergy Disc implanted. If required by local regulations, informed consent will be sought and received from the participating patient prior to data collection from the medical records per country-specific regulations.

  4. Intractable radiculopathy and/or myelopathy with at least one of the following producing symptomatic nerve root and/or spinal cord compression: herniated disc and/or osteophyte formation
  5. Symptomatic nerve root and/or spinal cord compression documented by patient history (arm or neck pain and/or neurologic deficit) and imaging (CT, MRI, x-rays, etc.)
  6. Failed a minimum of 6 weeks conservative treatment
  7. Written informed consent given by subject, as applicable.
