Methods and devices for fixing a defect in the anulus fibrosus of a patient. The devices include first and second vertical components extending from the middle region of the horizontal component, each of the first and second vertical components having a width and an end. The middle region of the horizontal component of the device blocks the defect in the anulus fibrosus. The first vertical component is attached to the upper vertebra and the second vertical component is attached to the lower vertebra. The horizontal component can be positioned beneath a layer of the posterior longitudinal ligament.
