Disc Replacement Surgery, Paul Slosar, MD, Saint Francis Memorial Hospital

A new option for patients with severe back problems has prompted a debate between some doctors and major insurance companies. The therapy is called disc-replacement, and while it may help some patients, insurance companies often don't want to pay for it. Saint Francis Memorial Hospital's Paul Slosar, MD, discusses the differences between disc-replacement and fusions techniques, maintaining that fusion techniques are highly effective for the majority of cases.
