Spinal cord compression due to nucleus migration from Mobi-C total disc replacement

Cervical disc replacement is an alternative option to an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion for cervical spine degenerative disease. We present the first reported case of a progressively worsening symptomatic spinal cord compression secondary to migration of the nucleus from a Mobi-C total disc replacement.
