A problem with total disc implant surgery appears to be the positioning of the implant which if not correct may lead to pain and eventually new surgery. The present invention relates to an improved disc implant (1) for total disc replacement, comprising two inter- vertebral elements (2) which are flexibly connected via coupling means (4,5). Following surgery, the relative movability of said two inter- vertebral elements is decreased overtime, as bone ingrowth occurring around the implant and specifically through osseointegrative sections gradually degrease the movability of the elements relative to each other. Following, the relative movability of the implant elements is replaced by fixation of the elements. The fixation has flowingly occurred in a position affected by the movement of the patient, and is thereby more acceptable to the patient.

L~un des problèmes en chirurgie d'implant total de disque est le positionnement de l'implant qui, s'il est incorrect, peut entraîner une douleur et finalement une nouvelle chirurgie. La présente invention concerne un implant de disque perfectionné (1) pour remplacement total de disque, comprenant deux éléments intervertébraux (2) connectés de manière flexible par des moyens d~assemblage (4,5). Après l~opération, la mobilité relative desdits deux éléments intervertébraux diminue au cours du temps, lorsque la croissance osseuse qui survient autour de l'implant et spécifiquement par des sections osséointégratives entraîne une diminution progressive de la mobilité des éléments l'un par rapport à l'autre. Ensuite, la mobilité relative des éléments d'implant est remplacée par la fixité des éléments. La fixité se produit dans une position affectée par le mouvement du patient, et est donc plus acceptable par le patient.
