Abstract
Facet joint prosthetics have a thin substantially elastomeric body configured to allow movement between adjacent facet joint bones. The facet joint includes bone, cartilage, synovial tissue, and menisci. Related methods of treating a spinal facet joint include inserting a first thin planar elastic body into a spinal facet joint where vertebral bodies meet and may optionally include inserting a second thin planar elastic body into a second spinal facet joint at the same spinal location as the first spinal facet joint thereby inhibiting bioreactive degeneration of a non-treated facet.
