It's actually the discs in between them.
183
00:11:03,030 --> 00:11:05,633
Spinal discs are like
natural shock absorbers,
184
00:11:05,650 --> 00:11:06,680
and when they're healthy,
185
00:11:06,700 --> 00:11:09,053
they kind of have the
consistency of rubber.
186
00:11:09,070 --> 00:11:11,181
But when they get diseased, they harden,
187
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,620
and these two are
pushing those vertebrae
188
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,643

We make a small incision,
about the size of a dime.
197
00:11:38,310 --> 00:11:40,240
We go in there and
pull out the bad discs,
198
00:11:40,260 --> 00:11:42,269

together with a plate.
