Hybrid constructs.
Hybrid constructs can combine motion-preserving technologies with each other or motion-preserving technologies with fusion techniques. Hybrid constructs can be implanted in single-stage or multistage surgeries. Early results are promising. Further study under formal scientific conditions is necessary to explore the benefit of these combinations.

Complications and strategies for revision surgery in total disc replacement.
Spinal arthroplasty is an acceptable alternative to fusion in many cases of disabling degenerative disc disease. Although arthroplasty has been demonstrated to be a safe and efficacious surgical option, complications related to the approach or the device may occur in few cases. Revision strategies for failed total disc arthroplasty can be planned as a posterior fusion, leaving the total disc replacement device in place, or by way of anterior removal with subsequent anterior fusion or revision replacement of the prosthesis.
