To preserve segmental lumbar motion and to prevent adjacent segment disease, there has been a growing enthusiasm for the use of intervertebral disc prosthesis as an alternative to segmental lumbar fusion. To date, more than 100-disc prostheses have been designed, but only 10 prostheses have been approved and implanted in humans. The Charité Artificial Disc has had the longest clinical follow-up with more than 5000 implantations in over 30 countries and reported > 10-year satisfactory results.
为了保留腰椎节段的活动度并预防相邻节段疾病，人们越来越热衷于使用椎间盘假体作为节段性腰椎融合术的替代方案。迄今为止，已设计出100多种椎间盘假体，但只有10种假体已获批准并植入人体。Charité人工椎间盘的临床随访时间最长，在30多个国家进行了5000多次植入，并报告了超过10年的满意结果。
