Abstract
The implant device is a minimally invasive device for assisting in the fusing together of vertebral bodies of the spine. The implant device immobilizes the vertebral bodies by immobilizing the respective spinous process extending from the vertebral body. The implant device has at least one spacer and hook to immobilize adjacent spinous processes. The spacer and hook are fastened to connection rods. Each connection rod can individually traverse through a range of motion, allowing each hook to engage the respective spinous process.
