ABSTRACT

A vertebral osteosynthesis device employs outside faces of lateral walls of
each hooking element which are inclined toward each other such that they
converge from the side opposite hooking elements designed to be attached to
the bone, while a gripping element in the shape of a clamp has side arms with
inside faces inclined at slopes that match those of outside faces of lateral
walls. At least two gripping means are disposed beyond the lateral walls and
are provided to move the gripping element such that the inside faces of its
lateral arms abut the lateral walls, bringing them toward each other and
sliding on them upon gripping, to bring the lateral walls closer together to
lock each hooking element onto a support rod.
