ABSTRACT:
A ring-shaped artificial intervertebral disk is made of an elastic material implantable into the human body. The artificial intervertebral can be transformed mechanically to have a straight rod shape before being implanted. Upon being implanted into the vertebrae, the artificial intervertebral disk regains its original ring shape.
