An intradiscal anchor fixation device comprising:

• an anchor block having a first opening extending along a first axis and a second opening extending along a second axis;
• a first anchor having a pinned end pivotally connected to the anchor block and a free end, distal from the pinned end;
• and
• a slide block having a first opening extending along the first axis and distal from the anchor block and having a slide face such that the free end of the first anchor is translatable along the slide face,
• wherein the slide block is adapted for translation toward the anchor block from a first position to a second position,
• wherein, when the slide block is in the second position, the free end of the first anchor extends distally beyond the slide block,
• wherein the slide block includes a retaining slot configured to receive a retaining pin,
• wherein the retaining pin is configured to engage with the first anchor, and
• wherein the first opening on the anchor block is unthreaded and the second opening on the anchor block is threaded.
