Vertebral connecting rod and spinal osteosynthesis device using the same

A vertebral connecting rod for interconnecting vertebral bodies, comprising:

• an elongated section including distal ends, said elongated section being capable of being rigidly supported by a spinal implant;
• a hook segment formed on at least one of said distal ends of the elongated section, said hook segment including an L-shaped configuration serving to hang an interconnecting member capable of being connected to another spinal implant;
• and
• said hook segment further comprising an engaging protrusion on said L-shaped configuration.

A spinal osteosynthesis device for interconnecting vertebral bodies, comprising:

• a pair of spinal implants adapted to be anchored to vertebral bodies to be interconnected;
• a hooking spinal implant adapted to be anchored to the vertebral body;
• a vertebral connecting rod rigidly supported by the pair of spinal implants and having one end formed with a hook segment which includes a U-shaped hanging recess;
• and
• an interconnecting member adapted to be hanged between the hooking spinal implant and the hook segment of the vertebral connecting rod.
