Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Devices - Cervical TDR
Treatment: Devices - ACDF with plate

Experimental: 1-level Cervical TDR - Cervical Total Disc Replacement (Cervical TDR) arthroplasty with the DISCOVER™ Artificial Cervical Disc at a single level of the cervical spine, C3 to C7 inclusive.

Active comparator: 1-level ACDF with plate - Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion with plate (ACDF with plate) using allograft spacer and the SLIM-LOC™ Anterior Cervical Plate System at a single level of the cervical spine, C3 to C7 inclusive.

Experimental: 2-level Cervical TDR - Cervical Total Disc Replacement (Cervical TDR) arthroplasty with the DISCOVER™ Artificial Cervical Disc at two adjacent levels of the cervical spine, C3 to C7 inclusive.

Active comparator: 2-level ACDF - Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion with plate (ACDF with plate) using allograft spacer and the SLIM-LOC™ Anterior Cervical Plate System at two adjacent levels of the cervical spine, C3 to C7 inclusive.

Experimental: Training: 1 & 2-level Cervical TDR - Cervical Total Disc Replacement (Cervical TDR) arthroplasty with the DISCOVER™ Artificial Cervical Disc at a single level or multiple levels of the cervical spine, C3 to C7 inclusive. Training cohort.


Treatment: Devices: Cervical TDR
Cervical total disc replacement using a DISCOVER Artificial Cervical Disc.

Treatment: Devices: ACDF with plate
Anterior cervical discectomy followed by insertion of allograft spacer and placement of an anterior plate.
