Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9848718A1] This invention is an anchoring device and method for stabilizing adjacent vertebral joints. The anchoring device (12) includes an anchoring plate (26) adapted to be secured to at least one vertebral disc having a central portion (32), extended end portions (34), and at least one lateral extension (60). The central portion includes an anchoring nut (28) for fastening the anchoring plate to a vertebral implant (24), and the end portions include anchoring screws (30) for fastening the anchoring plate to the vertebral disc. The vertebral implant is preferably a threaded fusion cage (24), wherein the anchoring nut is rotatable fixed to both the anchoring plate and the threaded fusion cage. The anchoring device preferably includes the central portion, and each extended end portion having at least one locking tab (48, 52) for rotatable locking the anchoring nut and anchoring screws. Additionally, the central portion includes a plurality of a projecting detent (42) along an outer periphery which mate with corresponding slots (44) on the threaded fusion cage.
