Systems and methods for repairing annulus defects include at least one blocking member (50, 150) positionable in or adjacent to the annulus defect, and at least one anchor (70, 80, 170, 180) for securing the blocking member (50, 150) to adjacent tissue recessed into the adjacent vertebrae. The blocking member (50, 150) extends at least partially across the annulus defect for repair of the defect and/or retention of nucleus material, one or more implants, bio-compatible materials or device, and/or other objects positioned in the disc space. Instruments are provided to facilitate preparation of the implantation site of the annulus repair system.

La présente invention concerne des systèmes et des procédés permettant de réparer des défauts de l'anneau fibreux, qui comprennent au moins un élément de blocage (50, 150) pouvant être placé dans ou à proximité du défaut de l'anneau fibreux, et au moins un élément d'ancrage (70, 80, 170, 180) destiné à fixer au tissu adjacent l'élément de blocage (50, 150) logé dans les vertèbres adjacentes. L'élément de blocage (50, 150) s'étend au moins partiellement par-dessus le défaut de l'anneau fibreux de façon qu'il répare le défaut et/ou retient une matière de noyau, un ou plusieurs implants, des matériaux ou un dispositif biocompatibles, et/ou d'autres objets placés dans l'espace intervertébral.
