Revision anterior exposure within 2 weeks of total disk replacement incurs relatively little additional morbidity because adhesion formation is minimal. Surgeons should have a low threshold for revising implants that are clearly dangerously malpositioned or show early migration within this 2-week window.

Beyond this time period, a revision strategy must be individualized to the particular clinical situation. A posterior fusion with instrumentation with or without a laminectomy is currently the most effective salvage procedure.
