Disclosed is an endoprosthetic implant for a human spinal disc. The
structure of the implant allows it to be inserted posteriorly. This
insertion is accomplished by performing a partial discectomy in the
affected region. An intervertebral space is then created by removing the
fibrocartilage between the facing surfaces of adjacent vertebrae. The
implant is then inserted into the intervertebral space. The implant is
thus adapted to replace damaged or worn intervertebral discs.
Furthermore, the structure of the implant, and its posterior insertion,
alleviate most spinal pathologies.
