Abstract:
A method for augmenting or replacing a spinal facet (24) includes the steps of providing a first plate (40) and a second plate (50). An elastomeric member (70) is secured between and to the first plate (40) and the second plate (50). The first plate (40) is secured to a first vertebra (20). The second plate (50) is secured to a second vertebra (30) adjacent the first vertebra (20) for mimicking natural articulation between the first and second vertebrae (20, 30).
