Description

A collapsible, and expandable inter-body fusion cage (10) primarily for use between adjacent vertebrae is designed to be collapsed so as to require the smallest opening necessary for insertion. An upper body (12) is connected to a lower body (14) by articulated supports (16, 18). In the collapsed position, the articulated supports (16, 18) are folded inward between the upper body (12), and the lower body (14). Once inserted, the fusion cage (10) can be expanded to its fully open position to maintain spacing between adjacent vertebrae. The fusion cage (10) is maintained in its fully open position by an over-center latch (25, 26). Bone material can be inserted in the space formed by the fully open fusion cage (10) to aid in the fusion of the adjacent vertebrae.

L'invention concerne une cage de fusion de corps vertébraux (10) repliable et extensible, qui s'utilise principalement entre des vertèbres adjacentes. Cette cage est conçue pour pouvoir être repliée afin que son insertion n'exige que la plus petite ouverture nécessaire. Un corps supérieur (12) est relié à un corps inférieur (14) par des supports articulés (16, 18). Dans la position repliée, les supports articulés (16, 18) sont pliés vers l'intérieur entre le corps supérieur (12) et le corps inférieur (14). Une fois insérée, la cage (10) peut être déployée à sa position de pleine ouverture pour maintenir un espacement entre des vertèbres adjacentes. La cage de fusion (10) est maintenue dans cette position de pleine ouverture par un verrou décentré (25, 26). De la matière osseuse peut être insérée dans l'espace formé par la cage (10) ouverte pour faciliter la fusion des vertèbres adjacentes.
