Spinal disc transplant

Doctors in China have reported that the world's first human spinal disk transplants are working well. Transplanted spinal disk from two organ donors were transplanted into four men and one woman five years ago. To date there is no sign of rejection and they seem to be working well. Doctor's say more refinement of the procedure is needed before it is widely used. Particularly in the lower spine, where most injures occur, due to the more complex nature of that area.
