Abstract
A modular nucleus pulposus prosthesis having at least two hingedly connected tear drop shaped disc bodies which combined to form a discoid endoprosthetic disc. The complimentary segments are substantially identical including outer circumferential walls roughly equal to a semi-circle aligned along concave-convex inner wall inner walls forming a common 's' shaped border and are positioned to form a generally symmetrical discoid congruent structure which can be placed within the annulus of a spinal disc section. Disc segments may define structures to support, position and secure the segments to one another intradiscally.
