I've known about artificial disks for about 2 or 3 years now. I had a situation where an anaesthesiologist wanted me to help out a guy after he had an artificial disk put into his spine. It appears there are still trials underway for the artificial disks. I was excited at the time to be considered in helping with the recovery after he had the artificial disk implanted, but I never had the chance to help him. It appears that after the surgery, he had no problems, and he actually started playing golf again after the surgery. It was quite a shock to hear that everything turned out great and he was able to go on with a normal life. I don't want to go into a whole lot of specifics on how this procedure is done, but it may very well be the future for those with degenerative disks.
