Abstract:
Disclosed is a dynamically stabilizing intervertebral implant including a stabilizing wedge, a flexible link in the form of a strap, and a blocking pin. The body of the stabilizing wedge includes a recess extending along a longitudinal axis, coincident with the posterior approach axis, and through which the strap passes. The blocking pin can engage inside the recess by movement in the recess longitudinal direction. The strap is immobilized with respect to the stabilizing wedge by being clamped between the pin and the facing recess wall. An tubular implant holder has an internal channel through which the blocking pin can be inserted and guided as far as the recess, in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the recess, when the implant holder is fixed to the stabilizing wedge so the internal channel and the recess are in parallax relative to each other.
