An intervertebral disc replacement prosthesis for placement between a
first vertebra and a second vertebra adjacent to the first vertebra. In
one embodiment, the intervertebral disc replacement prosthesis includes a
resilient member, which is formed from a single flat member, and three
support members. The support members are housed in the resilient member
that is arranged, in use, to be secured to the first and second
vertebrae. The intervertebral disc prosthesis can generate a coupled
motion in more than one possible direction responsive to a possible
movement of at least one of the first and second vertebrae, among the
resilient member, the first support member, the second support member,
and the third support member.
