An osteotomy of a portion of a vertebral endplate and/or vertebral body allows for easier insertion of a device (502) that fits tightly into a disc space. A different aspect of the invention resides in a mechanical device (506) to hold the osteotomized portion of the vertebra against the vertebral body after the intradiscal device is placed. The device may be removed after the pieces of vertebra heal and fuse together.
L'invention concerne l'ostéotomie d'une partie d'une plaque motrice vertébrale et/ou d'un corps vertébral, qui permet une introduction plus facile d'un dispositif qui s'intègre hermétiquement dans un espace discal. Dans un autre aspect, l'invention concerne un dispositif mécanique destiné à tenir la partie ostéotomisée de la vertèbre contre le corps vertébral une fois le dispositif intradiscal mis en place. Le dispositif peut être enlevé une fois les pièces vertébrales guéries et fusionnées.
