As the treatment of spinal disorders evolves to include therapies that preserve motion, there is a heightened need to better understand these new technologies. Currently, the majority of motion-preserving implants incorporate components that articulate against each other; total disc arthroplasty is the most common example. From a design perspective, the requirements for an implanted medical device include host biocompatibility, mechanical properties consistent with the specific application in the body, and long-term stability under physiological conditions. Devices for motion preservation involve an additional level of complexity in that they must also be engineered with the appropriate wear resistance.
