ADDISC lumbar disc prosthesis: Analytical and FEA testing of novel implants

The intact intervertebral disc is a six-freedom degree elastic deformation structure with shock absorption. “Ball-and-socket” TDR do not reproduce these properties inducing zygapophyseal joint overload. Elastomeric TDRs reproduce better normal disc kinematics, but repeated core deformation causes it...
