Patent

CA 2558419

The connecting element (1) has the shape of a rod with longitudinal axis (2), a rear end (6), and a front end (7), and serves to span a number of bone anchoring elements (12) implanted in the bone. The connecting element (1) comprises at least one longitudinal slot (5). This provides it with a greater elasticity during implantation so that it can be reversibly deformed. The connecting element can then be stiffened once it has been fixed in the bone anchoring elements (e.g. pedicle screws).

L'élément de jonction (1) a la forme d'une barre présentant un axe longitudinal (2), une extrémité arrière (6) et une extrémité avant (7) et sert au pontage de plusieurs éléments d'ancrage osseux (12) implantés dans des os. L'élément de jonction (1) présente au moins une rainure longitudinale (5). Il présente ainsi pendant l'implantation une plus grande élasticité, de sorte qu'il peut être déformé de façon réversible, mais devient toutefois rigide une fois fixé dans lesdits éléments d'ancrage (par exemple, vis pédiculaires).
