Conditions studied: Cervical Radiculopathy

In brief

This study is being conducted to assess the radiographic (x-rays and CT scans) and clinical outcomes for the use of DTRAX Cervical Cage with DTRAX Bone Screw for the treatment of degenerative disc disease at one disc level with accompanying radicular symptoms in the cervical (neck) spine.
