Abstract
Wear-induced complications after cervical disc replacement (CDR) are rare. A literature review on this topic found only a few case reports. We present a case of late complications after implantation of two cervical disc replacements, which resulted in infectious/abrasion-induced mixed-type inflammation with extensive osteolysis. The diagnostic workup, surgical therapy and outcome are presented and discussed with a review of the recent literature.
