MODULAR SPINE PLATE WITH PROJECTION AND SOCKET INTERFACE

摘要

A modular spine plate (10, 20, 30) is formed of two or more spine plate components (12,14) that connect to one another through projection (48, 66, 70) and socket (44, 64, 68) interfaces The projection (48, 66, 70) and socket (44, 64, 68) interfaces may provide for snap fit features that allow locking connectivity between the spine plate components (12,14) The modular spine plate components (12, 14) constitute a single end plate component (12) and a single center or middle plate component (14) The end plate component (12) has a first end plate leg (44) and a second end plate leg (48).
