Abstract
The development of an artificial disk represents a substantial step in the treatment of chronic, disabling low back pain. The variety of concepts and models introduced by many researchers reinforces the point that the desired solution has not yet been found. Besides artificial disks, other treatment modalities should be considered, such as allograft transplantation to replace the damaged intervertebral disk, or regeneration of the nucleus pulposus by cells from cell cultures from autodonation.
