Patent

CA 2571488

Exemplary implants and methods are provided for stabilizing adjacent vertebrae. In one embodiment, an implant is provided having a shape that allows the implant to be positioned between adjacent vertebrae using a posterior approach while avoiding contact with the spinal cord. For example, the implant can include an anterior portion that is adapted to be positioned between adjacent vertebrae, and a posterior portion that is adapted to extend around a spinal cord. In certain exemplary embodiments, the implant can also be configured to allow motion between the adjacent vertebrae.

L'invention porte sur des implants et les procédés associés de stabilisation de vertèbres contiguës. Dans une exécution, l'implant a une forme permettant de la placer entre deux vertèbres contiguës en procédant par l'arrière, tout en évitant le contact avec la moelle épinière, et il peut présenter une partie antérieures se plaçant entre deux vertèbres contiguës, et une partie postérieure s'étendant autour de la moelle épinière. Dans certaines exécutions, l'implant peut également permettre des déplacements entre vertèbres contiguës.
