摘要:
A vertebral support device (1) is disclosed, which in various embodiments comprisesat least two osseous anchoring implants (2), each designed to be anchored to avertebra, and at least one linking element (3) fixed to the osseous anchoringimplants (2) by fasteners (20) that maintain a fixed angle between the longitudinalaxis (L) of the linking element (3) passing through rigid elements (34) of thelinking element (3) and the insertion axis (DV) of the implants (2). The linkingelement (3) includes at least one elastic dampening element (31) that that allowsthe implant-bearing vertebrae some freedom of movement. The dampening element(31) accommodates the stresses imposed on the linking element (3) during movementof the vertebrae and tends to return the support device (1) to its normal configuration.
