Year: 2010
Type: article
Abstract: Nowadays, prostheses used for total disc replacement are mostly made of non-bioactive materials and always predetermined to certain sizes by the manufacturers, resulting in irreversible attrition and non-individualization. Here, the design of a novel, individualized and bioactive artificial intervertebral disc which avoids the above-mentioned problems is described, and an evaluation made of it.
