ABSTRACT
CASE We present a delayed failure of an M6-C cervical disc arthroplasty after conversion of a subjacent failed cervical disc arthroplasty to fusion. The annular component had failed, and the core had been ejected. Histology demonstrated a giant cell reaction to polyethylene debris, and tissue cultures were positive for Cutibacterium acnes. CONCLUSION:
This is the first report of M6-C failure after conversion of an adjacent arthroplasty to fusion. A growing number of reports surrounding the M6-C failure rate and mechanisms raise concern about the device's durability and underscore the importance of routine clinical and radiographic surveillance for these patients.
