ABSTRACT:
A method for surgically implanting a prosthetic spinal disc nucleus body into a human spinal disc space is disclosed. The spinal disc space contains adjacent vertebrae and an anulus having a posterior side. The method includes cutting a flap through the anulus in the disc space to create an opening. The vertebrae adjacent to the disc space are slightly separated and a prosthetic spinal disc nucleus body is inserted through the opening into the disc space.
