Abstract

The present invention is a system for a partially biological disc replacement that stimulates natural fibrous, cartilaginous or other tissue growth in the DDD cavity (24), resulting in a partial biological disc replacement (10). Multiplicities of fibronous pieces of fribro-cartilaginous tissue promoting material (26) are inserted into the DDD cavity (24) inducing tissue growth. The fibro-cartilaginous tissue
