CA 2426138

Systems and methods for repairing annulus defects include scaffold (30), attachment members (40), and anchors (20). The scaffold (30) acts as a plug to substantially fill the annulus defect. The anchors (20) are secured to tissue adjacent the annulus defect. The attachment member (40) secures the scaffold (30) to the anchors (2). Thus, the systems and methods for repairing annulus defects retain the scaffold within the annulus defect.

Les systèmes et procédés de réparation des défauts de l'anneau fibreux du disque intervertébral comprennent une carcasse (30), des organes de fixation (40) et des ancres (20). La carcasse (30) fonctionne comme un bouchon de manière à remplir sensiblement le défaut de l'anneau fibreux. Les ancres (20) sont fixées au tissu adjacent au défaut de l'anneau fibreux. L'organe de fixation (40) solidarise la carcasse (30) aux ancres (2). De cette manière, les systèmes et procédés de réparation des défauts de l'anneau fibreux permettent de retenir la carcasse à l'intérieur du défaut de l'anneau.
