Anterior cervical plate with integrated locks
摘要:
An anterior cervical plate system with integrated locks which is additively manufactured as one component is disclosed. The anterior cervical plate system comprises a plate having at least one through hole configured to receive a bone screw for attaching the plate to a patient's bone. The plate includes a lock component adjacent to the at least one through hole. The lock component is connected to the plate such that the lock component is permitted to rotate with respect to the plate. The lock component has an unlocked position in which the locking ends of the lock component do not cover the head of the bone screw inside the through hole, and a locked position in which at least part of the locking ends engage the head portion of the bone screw to prevent the bone screw from backing out of the through hole.
