摘要:
Plastic rod anchorage for the surgical treatment of the spine where the plastic rod (1) has at least two plane-parallel surfaces (1a) in order to uniformly clamp the rod (1) on its entire circumference.
摘要:
In a bone screw (1) with an open seat for a connection element, in particular a connection rod, the risk of jamming is reduced by avoiding cut thread turns at the lead-in of the thread pair at least on the thread halves (2) of the seat or on the fastening element (4, 6, 7, 9) that can be fitted on the head of the screw.
摘要:
Spinal implant comprising a quick closure (4) for securing a connecting element (2) in a bone screw (1) where the quick closure (4) is rotatively attachable in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction and lockable such as to be able to take up torques applied to the bone screw (1) while preserving the bone anchorage from manipulative stress.
摘要:
For a differentiated treatment of individual motion segments of the spine, a plastic rod (41, 42, 46) for the dynamic stabilization of the spine has different degrees of stiffness in its longitudinal direction. The different rod segments are interconnected along an oblique plane (13).
摘要:
A connection element (1) for stabilizing vertebral bodies that has a variable stiffness along its longitudinal axis in that particularly the cross-section of the connecting element varies along its longitudinal axis and extends over a plurality of bone screws (6). In spite of the varying cross-section (h1, h2), in a preferred embodiment, the same bone screws (6) may be used in all locations by inserting clamping elements (9, 10) of different lengths.
