System And Method For Fusing Spinal Vertebrae
US Patent:
6648891, Nov 18, 2003
Filed:
Sep 14, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/961040
Inventors:
Kee D. Kim - Sacramento CA
Assignee:
The Regents of the University of California - Oakland CA
International Classification:
A61B 1756
US Classification:
606 69, 606102, 606105
Abstract:
The invention provides a fusion plate system, and method for installing this system upon a patients spine. The system uses a distractor device which measures an appropriately sized fusion plate for a corpectomy or discectomy application. Once a properly sized fusion plate is selected, the distractor device compresses the vertebrae and any associated bone graft placed between the vertebrae, thereby assuring maximum contact between the vertebrae and bone graft at a corpectomy or discectomy location. Compression is maintained by the distractor device while the fusion plate is anchored upon the corpectomy or discectomy site. Furthermore, the inventive fusion plate system and method results in the fusion plate being properly centered upon a patients spine, so that an aesthetically pleasing, as well as functional, surgical result is achieved.
