Abstract

See full text

The invention provides a correction implant for the human vertebral column which is simply structured and consists of only a few parts. The correction implant according to the invention can be simply implanted and effectively fixes reset vertebra bodies in a selected position. The correction implant includes pedicle screws having slots for the accommodation of rods. The rods serve for the bracing of pairs of pedicle screws in a crosswise manner. The longitudinal connection between pedicle screws takes place by use of plate-shaped elongated elements having openings through which the pedicle screws are extended, with at least one opening being elongated so that the pedicle screws can be screwed in an accurate position.
