Abstract

One aspect of the invention provides a nucleus containment device including one or more interfaces defining an internal region adapted to receive a nucleus material. Another aspect of the invention provides a method for implanting a synthetic symphysis. The method includes: introducing a nucleus containment device defining an internal region adapted to receive a nucleus material into a space between two bones; and injecting the nucleus material into the internal region; thereby implanting a synthetic symphysis. Another aspect of the invention provides a synthetic symphysis implanted according to the methods herein.
