Abstract
The invention relates to a vertebral prosthesis with outstanding functionality, adaptability, and safety with respect to its predecessors. It is conceived and designed to provide a better service and serve as an axis so that spinal operations, as well as other diseases can be better addressed. It seeks, above all, to adapt to the nature of human biology and resembles that nature as much as possible, based on an internal suspension system which allows greater mobility and better weight distribution, imitating the natural deformation of the bone.
Claims9
A vertebral prosthesis configured to replace a patient vertebra, said vertebral prosthesis comprising:
- a body having a shape corresponding to a natural vertebra, said body is formed by two separate symmetrical upper portions that are coupled to each other, and two separate symmetrical lower portions that are coupled to each other forming a hollow bowl-like configuration that is linked to the upper portions from suspension elements located within said hollow bowl-like configuration, wherein a height of said suspension elements is just under ⅓ of a total height of the vertebral prosthesis.
