SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A SPINAL STABILIZATION IMPLANT ASSEMBLY

摘要

A spinal stabilization implant assembly includes a first cervical stabilization plate comprising an elongated body having a top portion and a bottom portion, and a second cervical stabilization plate comprising an elongated body having a top portion and a bottom portion. The bottom portion of the first cervical stabilization plate is attached to a first vertebra and the top portion of the second stabilization plate is stacked end-to-end below the bottom portion of the first cervical stabilization plate and is attached to the same first vertebra. The top portion of the first cervical stabilization plate is attached to a second vertebra, and the bottom portion of the second stabilization plate is attached to a third vertebra. The second vertebra is superior to the first vertebra, and the third vertebra is inferior to the first vertebra.

主权项

1. A spinal stabilization implant assembly configured for implantation at least partially between a superior vertebra and an inferior vertebra comprising:
a cervical stabilization plate comprising an elongated body having left and right side surfaces, front and back surfaces and top and bottom surfaces; one or more bone fasteners; wherein the elongated body comprises a central portion, a top portion and a bottom portion and wherein the top portion is bent at a first angle relative to the central portion and is dimensioned for capturing and fastening to a corner ridge of a vertebral wall of a superior vertebra and wherein the bottom portion is bent at a second angle relative to the central portion and wherein the second angle is opposite to the first angle and is dimensioned for capturing and fastening to a corner ridge of a vertebral wall of an inferior vertebra; wherein the back surface comprises a protruding indent-tab, and wherein the protruding indent-tab is shaped and dimensioned to be implanted in an intervertebral space between the superior and the inferior vertebras; and wherein the elongated body further comprises one or more through-openings extending from the front surface to the back surface and wherein the one or more bone fasteners are shaped and dimensioned to be inserted through the one or more through-openings, respectively, and to be attached to locations in said vertebral walls of the superior and inferior vertebras.
