An artificial spinal disc implant system for intervertebral disc
replacement (0810) is disclosed which is formed from an upper (0801) and
lower (0802) bracket which mate to upper and lower spinal vertebrae via
upper (0831) and lower (0832) vertebral contact surfaces on the upper
(0801) and lower (0802) brackets. The upper (0801) and lower (0802)
brackets are joined together via springs (0811) connected to the upper
bracket (0801) which rest in spring guide tracks (0812) on the lower
bracket. The springs (0811) are connected to the upper bracket (0801) via
the use of spring fasteners (0821, 0822). The upper (0801) and lower
(0802) brackets may be installed in sections (0851, 0861, 0871, 0852,
0862, 0872) using laparoscopic surgical techniques and are attached to
upper/lower spinal vertebrae respectively via adhesive means applied
using injection holes/ports (0841, 0842) in the upper (0801) and lower
(0802) brackets respectively.
