INFINITELY MODULAR PLATE CAGE DEVICE FOR FIXATION OF THE SPINE ABSTRACT

摘要

The present invention discloses a device and method of application, combining a cervical plate system with a cervical graft (bone or synthetic) for the safe and efficient stabilization of the cervical spine. The application of a plate to the spine for fixation purposes is widely practiced. The present invention is designed to provide predictable, efficient, and safe fixation of the spine. The present invention is minimally invasive for the anatomical characteristics of the cervical bones or vertebrae. The present invention is designed primarily for use in the cervical spine, but can be applied to any level of application in the spinal column, including the thoracic and lumbo-sacral spine.
