Filed:

May 15, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/383278

Inventors:

Richard Mateyka - Las Vegas NV, US

International Classification:

A61F 2/44

US Classification:

623017110, 606069000

Abstract:

A method of using a dynamic plate surgical implant includes removing a patient's degenerated disc between upper vertebrae and lower vertebrae; inserting an artificial replacement disc between the upper vertebrae and lower vertebrae where the degenerated disc was removed; attaching a dynamic plate surgical implant to an anterior of the upper vertebrae and the lower vertebrae, the dynamic plate surgical implant including an upper plate member and a lower plate member dynamically connected through a dynamic movement mechanism that allows extension, flexion, lateral flexion right an left, and rotation of the upper plate member relative to the lower plate member; and using the dynamic plate surgical implant to prevent the artificial replacement disc from kicking out anterior to the vertebrae while allowing the patient's spine to maintain its normal range of motion, reducing the risk of degeneration in adjacent segment of the spine.
