A tensioned cord (208) formed into a closed loop is secured to adjacent bone structures (201, 203), and a flexible patch (236) is secured to the cord in tension so that the combined, predetermined tension is applied between the adjacent bones structures (201, 203). The tensioned cord (203) and patch (236) may be used with or without a fusion implant device (206) in order to, in the former instance, contribute to compressive forces applied to the fusion device by the surrounding bone structures. The patch (236) may also be used as a delivery medium for a substance such as bone graft (241).
Ce système comprend un cordon (208) sous tension formant une boucle fermée, fixé sur des structures (201, 203) osseuses adjacentes, et une pièce (236) flexible assemblée à ce cordon sous tension de manière que la tension combinée prédéterminée est appliquée entre les structures (201, 203) osseuses adjacentes. Ce cordon (203) sous tension et cette pièce (236) flexible peuvent être utilisés séparément ou conjointement à un dispositif (206) de fusion. Dans ce dernier cas, ils permettent de renforcer la force compressive appliquée sur le dispositif de fusion par les structures osseuses environnantes. La pièce (236) flexible peut également servir de support d'application pour un composant tel qu'un greffon (241) osseux.
