ISASS 2016: NuNEC/PRESTIGE LP implants comparable in cervical disc arthroplasty .
Randomized Controlled Trial Between Two Different Cervical Disc Arthroplasty Implants - Three Year Follow-Up
52 patients with degenerative disc disease and resultant cervical radiculopathy and/or myelopathy were randomized to undergo a cervical disc arthroplasty with the NuNEC Cervical Arthroplasty System implant or the PRESTIGE LP Cervical Disc System implant.

Additional, neither group demonstrated any implant-related complications, or needed reoperation.
