A method includes inserting a plurality of linked segments into an annulus fibrosus and closing the prosthesis so that a first segment inserted into the annulus fibrosus and a last segment inserted into the annulus fibrosus are substantially abutted. Another method includes inserting a plurality of linked segments into an intervertebral disc space and closing the prosthesis so that a first segment inserted into the intervertebral disc space and a last segment inserted into the intervertebral disc space are substantially abutted.     A nucleus prosthesis (30) comprising a plurality of segments (32), including a leading segment and a trailing segment, and at least a linkage (34) coupling the segments, the prosthesis having an open position in which the segments are disposed along the linkage in a serial line with the leading segment at an end of the serial line and the trailing segment at another end of the serial line; and a closed position in which the segments are disposed to form a disc shape with the leading segment and the trailing segment substantially apposed. The linkage between the segments is a hinge (34a) coupling and freely articulating the segments so as to facilitate the opening and closing of the nucleus prosthesis.
