CA 2616605

A system and method for placing an implant into or onto supporting bone, or between adjacent bones, without impaction is disclosed. The system includes an implant, a distracter, and a sleeve. Optionally, the invention includes an alignment guide, a surgical navigational tracker, and a bone displacer. The sleeve is structured to interpose the implant and supporting bone and provide a differential engagement force between the sleeve-implant interface and the sleeve-bone interface to preferentially move the implant into, onto or between supporting bone structures.

La présente invention concerne un système et un procédé pour placer un implant dans ou sur un os de support, ou bien entre des os adjacents, sans impaction. Le système comprend un implant, un écarteur et un manchon. Facultativement, l'invention comprend un guide d'alignement, un dispositif de suivi chirurgical et un dispositif de déplacement des os. Le manchon est structuré pour s~intercaler entre l'implant et l'os de support et apporter une force de prise différentielle entre l'interface manchon-implant et l'interface manchon-os afin de déplacer de manière préférentielle l'implant dans, sur ou entre les structures de l'os de support.
