An expandable implant for treating bone preferably in a minimally invasive manner includes a preferably cylindrical core element extending along a longitudinal axis and preferably a plurality of nestable, expandable sleeves extending along a longitudinal axis for placement radially about the core element. The plurality of nestable sleeves are sequentially insertable over the core element in such a manner that a first nestable sleeve is inserted over the core element and each subsequently inserted nestable sleeve is received between the core element and the previously inserted nestable sleeve such that the insertion of each additional sleeve causes each previously inserted sleeve to outwardly expand.

La présente invention concerne un implant extensible pour traiter un os d'une manière minimalement invasive de préférence. L'implant comprend un élément central de préférence cylindrique qui s'étend le long d'un axe longitudinal, et une pluralité de manchons extensibles de préférence emboîtables qui s'étendent le long d'un axe longitudinal pour venir se placer radialement autour de l'élément central. La pluralité de manchons emboîtables peut venir sinsérer séquentiellement sur l'élément central. Pour ce faire, un premier manchon emboîtable est inséré sur l'élément central, à la suite de quoi chaque manchon emboîtable inséré est reçu entre l'élément central et le manchon emboîtable précédemment inséré, de telle sorte que l'insertion de chaque manchon supplémentaire amène chaque manchon précédemment inséré à se dilater vers l'extérieur.
