CA 2376363

A ramp-shaped intervertebral implant (10) is disclosed. The implant has a body having a first end (16), a second end (14), a top surface (22) and a bottom surface (24). At least one of the top and bottom surfaces is tapered that converges towards the second end of the body. An opening (26) extends through the body, has one end opening onto the top surface of the implant and the other end opening onto the bottom surface of the implant. The implant can be formed from the diaphysis or metaphysis of a long bone, wherein the intramedullary canal of the long bone defines the opening. Alternately, the implant can be made from any biocompatible material having the requisite strength requirement.

L'invention concerne un implant (10) intervertébral oblique. Cet implant comprend un corps pourvu d'une première extrémité (16), d'une seconde extrémité (14), d'une surface supérieure (14) et d'une surface inférieure (24). Au moins l'une des surfaces supérieure et inférieure est effilée et converge vers la seconde extrémité du corps. Une ouverture (26) traverse le corps et comprend une extrémité qui débouche sur la surface supérieure de l'implant, l'autre extrémité débouchant sur la surface inférieure de l'implant. L'implant peut être formé grâce à la diaphyse ou la métaphyse d'un os long, le canal médullaire de l'os long définissant l'ouverture. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, l'implant peut être fabriqué à partir de n'importe quelle matière biocompatible dont la résistance remplit les conditions exigées.
