ARTICULAR DISC PROSTHESIS FOR ANTERIOR-OBLIQUE INSERTION

摘要

A prosthetic device (600) for anterior-oblique insertion into an intervertebral space is provided. The prosthetic device includes a first component (602) having a first flange (640) for engaging a first vertebra from an anterior-oblique approach, the first flange being angled relative to the longitudinal and transverse axes of the first component, and a second component (604) having a second flange (670) for engaging a second vertebra from an anterior-oblique approach, the second flange being angled relative to the longitudinal (R) and transverse axes (T) of the second component, and wherein the first and second components cooperate to permit articulating motion between the first and second components.
