Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2006513796
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A bone fixation device for use in, for example, spinal column surgery, includes at least two bone fixation elements that each have a passage and a portion to be anchored on or in the bone. The device also includes at least two longitudinal, flexible connecting members that can be inserted and fastened in the passages of two adjacent fixation elements. The device can flexibly adapt to a patient's anatomy and to desired surgical results during the implantation of the device, and can then be rendered entirely rigid by simply blocking the fixation elements relative to one another. In addition, use of the device in the surgical treatment of the spinal column is minimally invasive.
