Abstract

See full text

An embodiment provides an implant prosthesis. In some cases, the prosthesis can take the form of an implant strip that may be implanted through the use of a surgical procedure that minimizes incision sizes and may be considered less invasive than typical spinal implant procedures. In one aspect, a spinal prosthesis may include an implant strip configured for insertion between two adjacent vertebrae, the implant strip including a first portion having a first rigidity and a second portion having a second rigidity that is less than the first rigidity, wherein the second portion is configured to deflect under an axial load before the first portion deflects.
