Instruments and method for preparing an intervertebral space for receiving an artificial disc implant |
摘要 |
Instruments and methods are disclosed for preparing an intervertebral space for receiving an implant. An adjustable trial implant 51 has an adjustable stop mechanism 64 having a stop member connected thereto to vary the distance that a body portion of the trial implant 51 can move into the intervertebral space. Cutting tools for forming cutouts in the adjacent vertebrae use the trial implant 51 and/or a guide (not shown) to position a cutting tool which may be a burr or a chisel. The chisel cutting tool can be moveable relative to a selected trial implant 51 or the chisel cutting tools can be fixed onto a trial implant shaped body portion. |
