Abstract
An artificial replacement disk configured to be positioned in between a superior vertebrae and an inferior vertebrae. The upper and lower surfaces match the surface morphologies of the corresponding vertebrae and may be textured to promote bone in-growth. The artificial replacement disk may comprise gripping structures to permit easy manipulation of the artificial replacement disk during surgical procedures.
