Abstract
The treatment of chronic low back pain due to advanced disk degeneration requires restabilization of the lumbar column, mainly by restoring disk function. Disk restabilization involves restoration and stabilization of the ligaments and annulus. Such restabilization represents a new concept [14, 29] in treating disk pathologies without the definitive loss of disk function [11, 13, 26]. Unlike fusion [20], the procedure is not definitive and makes it possible to restore function and mobility. Two prosthetic devices have now been on the market for about 10 years: the SB Charité [6, 8, 12, 15, 18, 27, 35], produced by Link, and the Prodisc [3, 30], manufactured by Spine Solution. This chapter looks at a new device, the Maverick disk prosthesis, which was developed according to biomechanical principles [21] and in the light of the biomechanical results obtained with the SB Charité and Prodisc. Preliminary results are promising.
