Abstract
A prosthetic intervertebral disc joint assembly for replacing at least a portion of an intervertebral disc between first and second adjacent vertebrae. A first component has an intervertebral portion insertable between adjacent vertebrae, with a bone-engaging side and a convex articulating inner side opposite the bone-engaging side. A second component engages the second vertebra and has a concave articulating surface. The first and second components each include a fixation portion for securing the component to the anterior side of the respective vertebra.
