#CMT# #/CMT# An U-shaped implant (3) including a shock absorbing intermediate portion (5), and side portions (6) envelopes the spinous process of a fifth lumbar vertebra (L5). A link (4) crossing through the intermediate portion engaged between the spinous processes of (L5) and a first sacral vertebra (S1), forms side strands that travel alongside or cross the side portions. The side strands are connected to each other so as to stick the intermediate portion against the lower edge of the spinous process of the lumbar vertebra. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Spinal prosthesis for implantation into interspinous gap between fifth lumbar vertebra and first sacral vertebra. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The implant is slid under the spinous process of the fifth lumbar vertebra, thus the migration, forward or rear sliding of the implant is prevented. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a schematic view of the spinous prosthesis after implantation. 3 : U-shaped implant 4 : Link 5 : Intermediate portion 6 : Side portion L5 : Lumbar vertebra S1 : Sacral vertebra. |
