From 1992 to 1998 fifteen Link-Charite SB III disc prostheses were implanted into 14 patients. The main indication was degenerative lumbar disc disease with segmental instability. With a mean follow-up of 48 months (18-68 months); 12 patients had a good (10) or fair (2) outcome regarding pain relief, return to employment and level of general physical activity. In contrast to previous publications we felt that age over 45 years did not appear to adversely affect the outcome.
1992年至1998年期间，14例患者植入了15枚Link-Charite SB III型椎间盘假体。主要适应证为伴有节段性不稳定的退行性腰椎间盘疾病。平均随访48个月（18 - 68个月）；12例患者在疼痛缓解、恢复工作和总体身体活动水平方面取得了良好（10例）或尚可（2例）的结果。与先前的出版物不同，我们认为45岁以上的年龄似乎并未对结果产生不利影响。
