WEST CHESTER, PA — Centinel Spine®, LLC has achieved a significant milestone, announcing the completion of its 10,000th U.S. procedure using the Match-the-Disc™ prodisc® Cervical Total Disc Replacement (TDR) System. The innovative system, launched in late 2022, has quickly gained traction, driving a 46% increase in U.S. prodisc Cervical TDR revenue in 2024 compared to the prior year.
The Match-the-Disc system, comprised of three devices—prodisc C Vivo, prodisc C SK, and prodisc C Nova—enables surgeons to intraoperatively select the best-fitting implant to match a patient’s anatomy. This feature has resonated with more than 900 surgeons, many of whom have transitioned from competing technologies and remain repeat users. The system’s rapid adoption and repeat usage underscore its clinical and procedural advantages.
“The literature and the experience of high-volume cervical arthroplasty surgeons is now clear. For the vast majority of patients, cervical disc replacement is superior to the previous gold standard of anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF),” said Dr. Anton Jorgensen, a board-certified orthopedic spine surgeon from Ortho San Antonio. “With modern implants such as prodisc, it is rare in my practice to do an ACDF. Surgeon skill and technique is key for a successful cervical arthroplasty.”
The 10,000-procedure milestone was attained in record time, taking only half the time required to achieve the previous milestone of 5,000 procedures in April 2024. This reflects not only the strong initial adoption of the technology but also the growing preference for motion-preserving cervical disc replacement over traditional spinal fusion.
“The rapid uptake, the acceleration of new adopting surgeons, and the repeat usage all demonstrate the value that the prodisc Match-the-Disc Cervical system brings to surgeons,” said Centinel Spine CEO Steve Murray. “Offering implant optionality to better match the patient’s anatomy is unique to the system and has clearly been viewed as a benefit. The fact that the 10,000-procedure milestone was achieved in half the time to surpass 5,000 procedures indicates that the adoption of motion preservation over cervical spinal fusion is accelerating.”
Looking ahead, Centinel Spine states that it remains committed to advancing cervical disc replacement technology by providing innovative solutions that improve patient outcomes and enhance surgeon confidence. Through its groundbreaking Match-the-Disc system, the company continues to lead the way in preserving motion and redefining spinal care standards.
