A facet joint prosthesis is a sterile implantable device designed to resurface or replace damaged or diseased facet joints in the spine. These devices help restore normal movement and function in the vertebral column when natural joints have deteriorated due to conditions like arthritis or injury.
Such devices are typically supplied as sterile implants and require surgical placement. They are regulated as medical devices and may be subject to specific classification requirements depending on the regulatory jurisdiction.
