Devan Higginbotham, MD, performed his first case with the Simplify cervical disc replacement implant at Saint Agnes Medical Center in Fresno, Calif., Globus Medical said in a Feb. 13 LinkedIn post.
The patient had neck pain, shoulder pain and radiating arm pain with numbness, the post said. The Simplify disc is designed to closely mimic the function of a healthy disc.
“It’s about giving patients a solution that not only addresses their immediate symptoms but that is also supported by clinical evidence on long-term outcomes,” Dr. Higginbotham said in the post.
