Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to an intervertebral prosthetic device for stabilizing the human spine, and a method of implanting same. Spinal discs that extend between adjacent vertebrae in vertebral columns of the human body provide critical support between the adjacent vertebrae while permitting multiple degrees of motion.
- These discs can rupture, degenerate, and/or protrude by injury, degradation, disease, or the like to such a degree that the intervertebral space between adjacent vertebrae collapses as the disc loses at least a part of its support function, which can cause impingement of the nerve roots and severe pain.
- In these cases, intervertebral prosthetic devices have been designed that can be implanted between the adjacent vertebrae, both anterior and posterior of the column and are supported by the respective spinous processes of the vertebrae to prevent the collapse of the intervertebral space between the adjacent vertebrae and provide motion stabilization of the spine. Many of these devices are supported between the spinous processes of the adjacent vertebrae.
- In some situations it is often necessary to remove the laminae and the spinous process from at least one of the adjacent vertebrae to get proper decompression. In other situations, the defective disc is removed and two vertebral segments are fused together to stop any motion between the segments and thus relieve the pain. When two adjacent vertebrae are fused, the laminae and the spinous process of at least one vertebrae are no longer needed and are therefore often removed.
- However, in both of the above situations involving removal of a spinous process, it would be impossible to implant an intervertebral prosthetic device of the above type since the device requires support from both processes.
- According to an embodiment of the invention, an intervertebral prosthetic device is provided that is implantable between two adjacent vertebrae, at least one of which is void of a spinous process, to provide motion stabilization.
- Various embodiments of the invention may possess one or more of the above features and advantages, or provide one or more solutions to the above problems existing in the prior art.
