Jared Ament, MD, and Amir Vokshoor, MD, of Santa Monica-based Neurosurgery & Spine Group performed the world’s first clinical case combining Premia Spine’s Tops and Centinel Spine Prodisc-L implants.
The 360-degree arthroplasty was used to treat a 36-year-old man with grade III spondylolisthesis, according to a June 2 news release shared with Becker’s. Prodisc-L was used to replace a disc, and the Tops implant was used for facet joint replacement. It enables anterior and posterior stabilization while maintaining natural motion.
Three months after the 36-year-old’s surgery, he reported full resolution of back and leg pain, and his quality of life scores increased.
“360 Arthroplasty reflects a paradigm shift in how we think about spine care,” Dr. Vokshoor said in the release. “We’re combining precision technology with a philosophy centered on functional preservation and patient empowerment. This isn’t just a procedure; it’s a movement, a shift in the culture of spine surgery.”
