Kit for implants

Abstract

Abstract A kit for stabilising partial areas of the spinal column consists of anchoring strips (1), which are at least similar to one another, and of stabilising elements (2) to be fastened on the anchoring strips. These anchoring strips (1) are provided with bores (5) for fixing elements (4) engaging in the spine (3). Between the bores (5) there are connection areas (7) for the fastening of stabilising elements (2) and/or correction instruments (10). <??>The large number of special implants used in individual partial areas of the spinal column can in this way be drastically reduced. In addition, after the correction has been performed, it is possible in a simple manner to stabilise the corrected state using a correction instrument (10). <IMAGE>
