Abstract
Interpretation. Monosegmental total disc replacement increases the segmental lordosis in most of the cases while preserving the total lumbar lordosis which produces a decrease of lordotic angle in the adjacent segment(s). Although short term clinical results are not affected, the segmental lordosis increase and adjacent segment(s) alteration may influence long term outcome.
