Abstract
The vertebral column segment is designed for being implanted into a human vertebral column (10). The vertebral column segment comprises a vertebral body insert (42) and or comprises an intervetebral disc (22) with the associated upper and/or lower vertebral body fragment (28, 34) and/or comprises a vertebral arch (28, 30), particularly provided with the diverse extensions. According to the invention, the intervertebral disc (22) is made from a genetically manipulated animal intervertebral disc, or the vertebral body insert, the vertebral body fragments (24, 34), the vertebral arch (28, 30) and/or the extensions are made of genetically manipulated animal bones.
Claims13
A vertebral column segment for implanting into a human vertebral column (10) comprising one of a vertebral body insert (42) or an intervertebral disc (22) with one of an associated or lower fragment (24, 34) of one of a vertebral body or a vertebral arch (28, 30), the intervertebral disc (22) being made from one of a gene manipulated animal intervertebral disc, or vertebral body insert (42), or fragments (24, 34) of the vertebral body, the vertebral arch (28, 30) and one of the upper or lower fragment (24, 34) of vertebral body or the vertebral body insert (42) being fastened to the human vertebral column (10) by means of a clip (40).
A vertebral column segment for implanting into a human vertebral column (10) comprising one of a vertebral body insert (42) or an intervertebral disc (22) with one of an associated upper or lower fragment (24, 34) of one of a vertebral body or a vertebral arch (28, 30), the intervertebral disc (22) being made from one of a gene manipulated animal intervertebral disc, or vertebral body insert (42), or fragments (24, 34) of the vertebral body, or vertebral arch (28, 30) and one of the upper or lower fragment (24, 34) of one of the vertebral body or the vertebral arch (28, 30) can be fastened to the human vertebral column (10) by means of at least one screw (32, 38).
A vertebral column segment for implanting into a human vertebral column (10) comprising one of a vertebral body insert (42) or an intervertebral disc (22) with one of an associated upper or lower fragment (24, 34) of one of a vertebral body or a vertebral arch (28, 30), the intervertebral disc (22) being made from one of a gene manipulated animal intervertebral disc, or vertebral body insert (42), or fragments (24, 34) of the vertebral body, or vertebral arch (2830) and one of the vertebral body insert (42) or the fragment (24, 34) of one of the vertebral body or the vertebral arch (28, 30) are provided with a planar contacting surface for abutting on the human vertebral column (10).
A vertebral column segment for implanting into a human vertebral column (10) comprising one of a vertebral body insert (42) or an intervertebral disc (22) with one of an associated upper or lower fragment (24, 34) of one of a vertebral body or a vertebral arch (28, 30), the intervertebral disc (22) being made from one of a gene manipulated animal intervertebral disc, or vertebral body insert (42), or fragments (24, 34) of the vertebral body, or vertebral arch (28, 30), and one of the animal bone or the animal intervertebral disc (22) is genetically manipulated to create an animal bone or an animal intervertebral disc (22) having a bone structure similar to the bone structure of the human vertebral column (10) into which the vertical column segment is to be implanted.
