Abstract

See full text

At least a portion of an articulating surface of a facet arthroplasty device may comprise a polycrystalline diamond compact. The polycrystalline diamond compact may be useful to increase the wearability and decrease the coefficient of friction of the at least one articulating surface of the facet arthroplasty device. The polycrystalline diamond compact may be utilized with any facet arthroplasty device and may be formed by any appropriate method including, but not limited to, diamond sintering, chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition, and energy beam ablation/deposition.
