INSTRUMENT AND SET OF INSTRUMENTS FOR TREATING FRACTURES BY BITTING THE VERTEBRAL BODY

摘要

Various surgical instruments form a set for the treatment of vertebral fractures, which may include, for example, an instrument (1) for widening a working path, comprising a rod-shaped body (11) having a distal end, a proximal end and a peripheral surface, and carrying a scale (111) in its longitudinal direction to control the depth of introduction. A gripping section (12) is also fixedly located on the proximal end of the rod-shaped body. Field of application: treatment of compaction fractures of the vertebral bodies, by widening a working path, reducing deformation, by inserting a filling part and compacting this filling part, for example.
