it is a steel plate with a series of circular holes and holes ovalaires. used as a support for the operations of the vertebral column.the indications are ranging from vertebrales displaced fractures or not, including the settlements vertebraux to traumatic dislocations and stability required for those who are degeneratives. they are also unstable to stabilize a layer thoraci column for the purpose of, and lumbar spinal fusion.that is, one or more blocking layer vertebraux sample. its advantages are manifold: first, the major problem is resout space is certainly an intervertebral, average size of 1 mm, which is made from one subject to another, and from one floor to another.it is also the problem resout in compressed vertebral or space interprediculaire is reduced, usually. the advantage of a substantial contribution from holes ovalaires lies in the fact that if we are in the presence of a vertebra and the bone is rather porotique state, the surgeon can use screws instead of the cortical cancellous screws.this approach may also be spongy second intention, in the event that the drilling, for example, was difficult. finally, we propose a technique for placing screws by the addition of a flexible sheet, which allows you to view the depth of the hole that we practice and is an x-ray visualization during operating.Il sagit dune plaque metallique avec une succession de trous circulaires et des trous ovalaires. Utilisée comme soutien dans les opérations de la colonne vertébrale. Les indications sont diverses allant des fractures vertebrales deplacees ou non, y compris les tassements vertebraux jusquaux stabilisations necessaires dans les luxations traumatiques et celles qui sont degeneratives … elles servent egalement a stabiliser une colonne instable aux etages thoraciques et lombaires dans un but darthrodèse, cest–à-dire de blocage definitif dun ou plusieurs etages vertebraux. Ses avantages sont multiples : dabord elle resout le problème majeur de lespace intervertebral q
