Abstract
Abstract The object of the invention is a device for the osteosynthesis of rachis having pedicular screws, of the type that comprises a threaded, ogival-shaped point (1) and a threaded head (3) that are separated by a hexagonal body (2), said screws being linked by a connection member (5,6) characterized in that it also comprises a sole fixing part (7,8) provided with a passage hole (9) for said threaded head on which a nut (4,4') is screwed for locking the assembly consisting of the fixing part (7,8) and the connection member (5,6) on said head (3), one of these, either the fixing part or the connection member having its inner face shaped in order to provide a groove (17,21) for the accomodation and locking against rotation of said hexagonal body (2).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
159 words
A device for osteosynthesis of rachis, comprising: a first pedicular screw having a threaded, ogival-shaped point and a threaded head separated by a hexagonal body; a connection member linking said first screw to other screws, said connection member being an elongated plate with elongated openings spaced along said plate for receiving said threaded head, transversal striae being provided on an upper surface of said plate; a single, one piece fixing part provided with at least one passage hole for receiving said threaded head, said fixing part being a U-shaped part overlying the upper face of said plate and being flanked by two parallel lateral protrusions, striae being provided on a lower surface of said fixing part opposing said plate; and a nut threaded on said threaded head for locking said fixing part and said connection member on said threaded head, said plate having a lower surface shaped to provide a lower groove for receiving and locking said hexagonal body.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
159 words
A device for osteosynthesis of rachis, comprising: a first pedicular screw having a threaded, ogival-shaped point and a threaded head separated by a hexagonal body; a connection member linking said first screw to other screws, said connection member being an elongated plate with elongated openings spaced along said plate for receiving said threaded head, transversal striae being provided on an upper surface of said plate; a single, one piece fixing part provided with at least one passage hole for receiving said threaded head, said fixing part being a U-shaped part overlying the upper face of said plate and being flanked by two parallel lateral protrusions, striae being provided on a lower surface of said fixing part opposing said plate; and a nut threaded on said threaded head for locking said fixing part and said connection member on said threaded head, said plate having a lower surface shaped to provide a lower groove for receiving and locking said hexagonal body.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
A device according to claim 1 wherein said passage hole in said fixing part is elongated.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
A device according to claim 1 wherein said nut has an extension at an upper part thereof in the form of a cylindrical tubular portion split diametrally for nut locking.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
33 words
A device according to claim 1 wherein said lower groove is non-circular in transverse cross section, and is defined, at least in part, by planar surfaces abutting planar surfaces of said hexagonal body.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
169 words
A device for osteosynthesis of rachis, comprising: pedicular screws having threaded, ogival-shaped points and threaded heads separated by hexagonal bodies; a connection member linking said screws, said connection member being an elongated plate with elongated openings spaced along said plate for receiving said threaded heads and with a lower groove in a lower surface of said plate for receiving and locking said hexagonal bodies, said lower groove being non-circular in transverse cross section and being defined, at least in part, by planar surfaces abutting planar surfaces of said hexagonal bodies, transversal striae being provided on an upper surface of said plate; fixing parts provided with passage holes for receiving said threaded heads, said fixing parts being U-shaped parts overlying the upper surface of said plate, each said fixing part being flanked by two lateral protrusions, striae being provided on a lower surface of said fixing parts opposing said plate; and nuts threaded on said threaded heads for locking said fixing parts and said connection member on said threaded heads.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
169 words
A device for osteosynthesis of rachis, comprising: pedicular screws having threaded, ogival-shaped points and threaded heads separated by hexagonal bodies; a connection member linking said screws, said connection member being an elongated plate with elongated openings spaced along said plate for receiving said threaded heads and with a lower groove in a lower surface of said plate for receiving and locking said hexagonal bodies, said lower groove being non-circular in transverse cross section and being defined, at least in part, by planar surfaces abutting planar surfaces of said hexagonal bodies, transversal striae being provided on an upper surface of said plate; fixing parts provided with passage holes for receiving said threaded heads, said fixing parts being U-shaped parts overlying the upper surface of said plate, each said fixing part being flanked by two lateral protrusions, striae being provided on a lower surface of said fixing parts opposing said plate; and nuts threaded on said threaded heads for locking said fixing parts and said connection member on said threaded heads.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
16 words
A device according to claim 5 wherein said passage holes in said fixing parts are elongated.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
27 words
A device according to claim 5 wherein said nuts have extensions at upper parts thereof in the form of cylindrical tubular portions split diametrally for nut locking.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
16 words
