ABSTRACT Systems (10) for positioning a connecting element (90) adjacent the spinal column in minimally invasive procedures include installation instruments (20) that guide the connecting element (90) from a location remote from one or more anchors (100) to a location proximate to the one or more anchors (100). The installation instruments (20) include extensions (130) mountable to anchors (100) engageable to the spinal column or other bony structure, and inserters (24) mountable to the anchor extensions (130) for positioning the connecting element (90) adjacent the anchors (100).
Selon la présente invention, des systèmes (10) conçus pour positionner un élément de couplage (90) adjacent à la colonne vertébrale dans des interventions très peu effractives comprennent des instruments d'installation (20) qui guident l'élément de couplage (90) d'un emplacement éloigné d'au moins un ancrage (100) à un emplacement situé à proximité dudit ancrage (100). Ces instruments d'installation (20) comportent, d'une part, des extensions (130) pouvant être montées aux ancrages (100) qui peuvent rentrer en contact avec la colonne vertébrale ou toute autre structure osseuse et, d'autre part, des applicateurs (24) pouvant être montés aux extensions d'ancrage (130) de manière à positionner l'élément de couplage (90) adjacent aux ancrages (100).
