Vortices columns stabilization system and surgical device for the temporary stiffening of a flexible intermediate portion of a connecting element of the vortices columns stabilization system

摘要

In order to provide a surgical device for the temporary stiffening of an at least partially flexible intermediate portion of a connecting element for a vortex columns stabilization system, which connection element has a first mounting section for fixing to a first bone fastening a direction, a second mounting section for fixing to a second bone fastening a direction of and between the first and second fastening section arranged or constructed, at least partially flexible intermediate portion, which intermediate section at least one recess is defined, which is designed in such a way that it allows a deformation of the intermediate section, so that the implantation of a connecting element with an at least partially flexible intermediate portion is simplified, it is proposed that the surgical device comprises at least one blocking element, which is at least partially in a positively locking manner with the intermediate portion can be brought into engagement for the temporary prevent a deformation of the flexible intermediate portion.Furthermore, an improved vortex columns stabilization system.
