摘要

The invention relates to a device for protecting adjacent levels Vc of a spinal segment Sr of a vertebral column previously instrumented by an osteosynthesis device (1) comprising fasteners (110) made up of connectors (111) translatably and rotatably immobilised on the connecting rod (4) corresponding to the osteosynthesis device (1), a supporting wedge (130; 180) in which the spine Ve of the superjacent vertebra Vc is located immediately above the instrumented spinal segment Sr, and at least one ligament (150, 170; 190) suitable for joining the spine Ve of the superjacent vertebra Vc to the supporting wedge (130; 180) and the supporting wedge (130; 180) to the connectors (111).
