Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a posterior vertebra support assembly.
[0002] In the case of degenerated intervertebral discs of two vertebrae, and / or stretched degenerated ligaments, it is known to place wedges between the spinous processes of two vertebrae to make vertebral support possible. In this respect, the French patent applications with application numbers FR 9403716 and FR 9802300 filed by the proprietor of the present application are incorporated by reference. Background technique
[0003] The wedges in these earlier patent applications are attached to the spinous processes of the two treated vertebrae by two separate ligaments, each passing through the wedge and tightly surrounding the corresponding spinous process. As the spine flexes in a forward direction, the spinous processes separate from each other, causing longitudinal stretching of the wedge.
[0004] The disadvantage of this longitudinal stretching is that the wedges are comp...
