In accordance with embodiments of the present invention, a rod extension for extending a fusion construct is provided. The rod extension allows a surgeon to connect a stabilization rod implant to at least a portion of a patient's spine, and also to connect the stabilization rod implant to an existing implant that has been previously installed in the patient. The existing fusion implant typically includes at least one existing pedicle screw, at least one existing rod, and at least one existing connector interconnecting the existing pedicle screw to the existing rod. The extension implant comprises a rod, an offset beam connected to the rod, and a clamp interconnected to the offset beam, wherein the clamp can be secured to the existing rod, thereby extending the fusion construct. A method of use is also provided.

Dans certains modes de réalisation, l'invention concerne une extension de tige permettant d'étendre un produit de fusion. Ladite extension de tige permet à un chirurgien de connecter un implant de tige de stabilisation à au moins une partie du dos d'un patient ainsi qu'à un implant existant qui a été installé antérieurement dans ledit patient. L'implant de fusion existant comprend en général au moins une vis pédiculaire existante, au moins une tige existante et au moins un connecteur existant interconnectant la vis pédiculaire existante et la tige existante. L'implant d'extension comprend une tige, une poutre décalée connectée à la tige et un élément de serrage interconnecté avec la poutre décalée pouvant être fixé à la tige existante, ce qui permet d'étendre le produit de fusion. L'invention concerne également un procédé d'utilisation de ladite tige d'extension.
