Lumbar Disc Prosthesis for Insertion Via a Posterior Route
[0141] Referring firstly to FIGS. 1-30, there is illustrated a lumbar disc prosthesis 2 which can be inserted into a lumbar disc space via a posterior route as a replacement for a diseased and / or damaged lumbar disc.
[0142] The disc prosthesis 2 includes two pairs of disc members, each pair including an upper disc member 4, 4′ and a lower disc member 6, 6′. (Use of a reference numeral with ′ thereafter refers to a second or further feature equivalent to the feature indicated by the reference numeral alone. Thus, disc member 4 refers to the first prosthesis pair upper member and disc member 4′ refers to the second prosthesis pair upper member). The upper and lower disc members 4, 6; 4′, 6′ of each pair constitute a left and right disc prosthesis respectively. These disc members are shaped and dimensioned such that they can be inserted into a lumbar disc space either side of the dural sac whilst taking into account the poster...
