CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Season 3

Doc Robbins:
An artificial spinal disc. If you can recreate a spine the possibilities are endless.

Catherine:
I thought, uh, disc replacement surgery involved fusing bone to bone.

Doc Robbins:
Eh, typically, but it can limit mobility. With that little disc, your body doesn't know the difference. Matches range of motion, flexibility and an axial rotation of a normal spine. Still in clinical trials. Less than a thousand surgeries have been performed in this country.

Catherine:
Oh, well, I like those odds.

Doc Robbins:
You'll like this even better. Medium endplate, size 12, polyethylene component and a six-degree lordosis angle. Narrowed it down to one. Amy Ennis. Austin, Texas.

Catherine:
Tourist?

Doc Robbins (chuckles):
That's for you to find out.
