摘要：
An embodiment provides an implant prosthesis. In some cases, the prosthesis can take the form of an implant strip that may be implanted through the use of a surgical procedure that minimizes incision sizes and may be considered less invasive than typical spinal implant procedures. In one aspect, a spinal prosthesis may include an implant strip including a first portion comprising a first lateral side portion and a second lateral side portion, and a second portion separating the first lateral side portion from the second lateral side portion, with the first and second lateral side portions configured to engage a first and second vertebra, with a first longitudinal portion of the implant strip forming a first inner coil, with a second longitudinal portion forming a second outer coil, and with the second outer coil spaced radially outward of the first inner coil, wherein the second portion deflects before the first portion under compressive and tensile forces.
