[0031] The following combination Figures 1 to 5 The utility model describes a cervical vertebra self-stabilizing fusion device and a cervical vertebra self-stabilizing fusion assembly.

[0032] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a cervical self-stabilizing fusion device 10 , which includes a mounting seat 110 , a head-directed fixation assembly 120 , a caudal-directed fixation assembly 130 and a fusion device body 140 .

[0033] Among them, the mounting seat 110 includes a first mounting portion 111 and a second mounting portion 112, and the second mounting portion 112 is connected to the first mounting portion 111; the head-directed fixing assembly 120 includes a plurality of head-directed screws 121, and the tail-directed fixing assembly 130 includes a plurality of tail-directed screws 131, the head-directed screws 121 are arranged outwardly on the first mounting portion 111, and the tail-directed screws 131 are arranged outwardly on the second mounting portion 112, and a distance is provided between the connection position of the tail-directed screws 131 and the second mounting portion 112 and the first mounting portion 111; the fusion body 140 is arranged on the first mounting portion 111, and the fusion body 140 is located on the same side of the head-directed fixing assembly 120 and the tail-directed fixing assembly 130.

[0034] The cervical vertebra self-stabilizing fusion device 10 and the cervical vertebra self-stabilizing fusion assembly provided by the present invention are configured as a fixing seat with a first mounting portion 111 and a second mounting portion 112 connected to each other, a head screw 121 is tilted outwardly and is arranged on the first mounting portion 111, and a tail screw 131 is tilted outwardly and is arranged on the second mounting portion 112, and a distance is provided between the connection position of the tail screw 131 and the second mounting portion 112 and the first mounting portion 111. This enables the head screw 121 and the tail screw 131 to support adjacent cervical vertebral bodies while reducing the angle between the tail screw 131 and the second mounting portion 112. The cervical vertebra self-stabilizing fusion device 10 provided by the present invention allows the tail screw to be implanted into the lower vertebral body using a direct-view instrument while avoiding interference with the human mandible, and is suitable for high-position implantation, thereby solving the defect that the existing cervical vertebra self-stabilizing fusion device is not suitable for high-segment implantation and improving the scope of application of the cervical vertebra self-stabilizing fusion device.

[0035] Specifically, in this embodiment, the head screw 121 is used to be implanted into the upper cervical vertebral body, and the caudal screw 131 is used to be implanted into the lower cervical vertebral body. One end of the fusion body 140 is connected to the first mounting portion 111 and is located between the head screw 121 and the caudal screw 131. During repair, the diseased intervertebral disc is first hollowed out. Then, the head screw 121 and the caudal screw 131 of the self-stabilizing fusion device, which have a certain angle, are screwed into the adjacent cervical vertebral bodies. The fusion body 140 is then implanted into the hollowed position of the diseased intervertebral disc. The head screw 121 and the caudal screw 131 can fix the implantation position of the fusion body 140.

[0036] The cephalad fixation assembly 120 includes two cephalad screws 121, symmetrically positioned on either side of the first mounting portion 111. The axes of the two cephalad screws 121 are offset outward (i.e., the ends of the two cephalad screws 121 extend away from each other), with an offset angle of 5°. The caudal fixation assembly 130 includes two caudal screws 131, symmetrically positioned on either side of the second mounting portion 112. The axes of the two caudal screws 131 are offset inward (i.e., the ends of the two caudal screws 131 extend toward each other), with an offset angle of 10°. This improves the stability of the connection between the cephalad and caudal screws 121, 131 and the cervical vertebral bodies.

[0037] It should be noted that the above “the head screw 121 is tilted outwardly and arranged on the first mounting portion 111” specifically refers to the head screw 121 being arranged in a direction away from the fusion body 140. Similarly, the above “the tail screw 131 is tilted outwardly and arranged on the second mounting portion 112” specifically refers to the tail screw 131 being arranged in a direction away from the fusion body 140.
