Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A disk prosthesis for vertebrae includes two plates for attaching to adjacent vertebrae. A ball-and-socket joint is interposed between the two plates mounted atop one another and includes a spherical cap fitted onto an insert made of a ceramic material and mounted on one plate. A spherical cup operable with the spherical cap is fitted onto a second insert made of a ceramic material and mounted on the second plate. Each insert is mounted on a plate by means of a sliding link and a localized link to stop translation. The ball-and-socket joint is partly surrounded by an elastic membrane attached to the two plates for a linking one another.
