摘要：
A bone fusion device provides stability to bones during a bone fusion period. The bones include for example the vertebrae of a spinal column. The bone fusion device comprises one or more extendable tabs attached to the bone fusion device by associated rotating means. The bone fusion device is preferably inserted by using an arthroscopic surgical procedure. During arthroscopic insertion of the device the tabs are pre configured for compactness. In this compact configuration the tabs are preferably deposed along and/or within an exterior surface of the bone fusion device. After the bone fusion device has been positioned between the bones one or more tab(s) are extended. In the preferred embodiment the position of each tab is related to a positioning element and extending blocks. Typically the tabs advantageously position and brace the bone fusion device in the confined space between the bones until the bones have fused.
