Vertebral osteosynthesis plate, osteosynthesis system and method to implant such a plate

摘要

The present invention relates to a vertebral osteosynthesis plate to maintain relative vertebral orientation correction using a correction instrument. The osteosynthesis plate has an overall rectangular shape and comprises at least four slots to insert, in each, fixation devices, wherein at least two of the slots opens onto a lateral edge of the osteosynthesis plate to enable positioning and fixation of the plate with no prior removal of the relative vertebral orientation correction instrument. The edge of the plate is defined by an edge located in the same direction as the longitudinal direction of the plate. The longitudinal direction of the plate is roughly identical to that of the direction of the spinal column.
