The Purpose of Mobi-C Disc Replacement Surgery
Mobi-C disc replacement surgery is similar in disc fusion surgery – specifically in that it replaces the damaged disc causing issues. However, Mobi-C disc replacement is very different in a number of ways. The purpose of the replacement surgery is obviously to replace the damaged disc and help with neck pain, arm pain, and arm tingling, for instance. However, the device is designed to promote neck movement (including turning left-to-ride, bending side-to-side, and bending front-to-back). In addition, the device is also supposed to match disc height to un-trap any nerves that are being pinched. All in all, it is supposed help affected individuals return to their normal lives (with complete or at least partial range of motion in the neck), instead of just alleviating pain. Because of this, this procedure is recommended to many people.
The Risks Associated with the Surgery
All surgeries, including anterior cervical spine surgeries, come with risks. Some of the common risks associated with surgeries, in general, include some of the following: allergic reactions; infections; issues with the would (including pain); cardiovascular issues; issues with anesthesia; respiratory issues; and more. In addition, there are certain that risks that are associated with the specific type of surgery being performed. For instance, some of the risks associated with anterior cervical spine surgery include some of the following: paralysis; neurological issues including issues with movement, feeling, response time in the neck, arms, back, or legs, for instance; issues with the dysphagia (the organ that allows for talking and swallowing); headaches; pain in the arm and/or neck. However, even if everything goes perfect during the surgery as well as during the recovery, other issues could arise – specifically associated with defective Mobi-C discs.

Defective Mobi-C Discs
Unfortunately, if a defective Mobi-C disc is used in a patient, the patient can suffer significant harm. Manufacturing defects, for instance, can result in the device breaking (if the material used is not strong enough, for instance); design defects could result in the device moving or shifting. Labeling defects (i.e., there are no appropriate warnings or notices) can directly lead to the misuse or incorrect installation of the device for instance. Whatever the case, the Mobi-C disc is likely not to function as it should – resulting in unnecessary pain to affected individuals. In most cases, affected individuals will need to undergo revision procedures (sometimes multiple procedures) to fix the issues presented by the defective disc. This leads to unnecessary pain in addition to medical expenses, both of which could have been completely avoided had the device not been defective. Unfortunately, the complications from a defective medical device can lead to the injured individual never reaching a complete recovery. If you believe that you or a member of your family were affected by a defective Mobi-C disc, you should explore your legal options.
Can You Sue?
Do you have the right to sue for harm resulting from a defective Mobi-C disc? Based on the details surrounding the incident and the harm suffered, you could sue. That is, you could sue the product manufacturer (and, in some cases, the doctor who performed the procedure). Your right to sue the product manufacturer is based on the concept of product liability; that is, all companies have a duty to ensure that their products are safe for their intended use. If there are any defects in design, manufacturing, or labeling (including a lack of warnings), the product manufacturer could be liable if a defect leads to harm after a procedure. This means that affected individuals could sue the product manufacturers. When could doctors be liable? If a doctor knowingly recommends the use of a defective medical device, the doctor (and even the hospital where the procedure occurred) could be liable.
