VERTEBRAL SUPPORT DEVICE

摘要

A vertebral support device (1) is disclosed, which in various embodiments comprises at least two osseous anchoring implants (2), each designed to be anchored to a vertebra, and at least one linking element (3) fixed to the os seous anchoring implants (2) by fasteners (20) that maintain a fixed angle b etween the longitudinal axis (L) of the linking element (3) passing through rigid elements (34) of the linking element (3) and the insertion axis (DV) o f the implants (2). The linking element (3) includes at least one elastic da mpening element (31) that that allows the implant-bearing vertebrae some fre edom of movement. The dampening element (31) accommodates the stresses impos ed on the linking element (3) during movement of the vertebrae and tends to return the support device (1) to its normal configuration.
