CA 2493868

A plating system for stabilization of a bony segment includes a plate engageable to at least first and second bony elements. For spinal stabilization, the plate is attached at least to first and second vertebrae with at least one bone fastener in each vertebra. Retaining members are attachable to the plate to prevent the bone fasteners from backing out of the plate. One retaining member has apertures over the bone plateholes and allows the bone fasteners to pivot in the plate. A second retaining member fixes the bone fasteners erlative to the plate by means of engagement members which engage the tool engagement recesses of the bone fasteners.

L'invention concerne un système de plaque pour stabiliser un segment osseux, qui comprend une plaque pouvant entrer en contact avec au moins un premier et un deuxième élément osseux. Pour assurer une stabilisation vertébrale, on fixe d'abord la plaque à au moins une première et une deuxième vertèbre, au moins un élément de fixation d'os étant mis en place dans chaque vertèbre. Des éléments de retenue peuvent être fixés à la plaque pour empêcher que les éléments de fixation d'os se dégagent de celle-ci. Un élément de retenue, variable, permet aux éléments de fixation d'os d'effectuer un mouvement articulé dans la plaque sans obstacle. Un deuxième élément de retenue, fixe, permet de fixer les éléments de fixation d'os par rapport la plaque.
