Description
<Desc/Clms Page number 1> <Desc / Clms Page number 1>
La présente invention concerne une prothèse inter-épineuse ainsi qu'un procédé et un outil pour sa préparation. The present invention relates to an interspinous prosthesis and to a method and a tool for its preparation.
Elle trouvera notamment son application dans le domaine de la fabrication de prothèses destinées à être implantées dans l'espace inter-épineux de la colonne vertébrale humaine. It will find its application in particular in the field of the manufacture of prostheses intended to be implanted in the interspinous space of the human vertebral column.
Des prothèses inter-épineuses sont actuellement déjà utilisées pour faire face à certaines pathologies. Interspinous prostheses are currently already used to deal with certain pathologies.
Il faut rappeler que le système ligamentaire du rachis lombaire constitue un ensemble passif concourant avec les muscles au maintien de l'équilibre segmentaire appelé statique vertébral. It should be remembered that the ligament system of the lumbar spine constitutes a passive whole contributing with the muscles to the maintenance of segmental balance called vertebral static.
Le contrôle postérieur est assuré par un complexe capsuloligamentaire comprenant successivement le ligament commun postérieur, les capsules articulaires, le ligament jaune et enfin les ligaments inter et supra-épineux. The posterior control is ensured by a capsuloligamentary complex comprising successively the posterior common ligament, the articular capsules, the yellow ligament and finally the inter and supraspinous ligaments.
Ces derniers s'étendent entre les processus inter-épineux. The latter extend between the interspinous processes.
Par leur composition et leur orientation, ils assurent un contrôle de certains mouvements vertébraux. By their composition and their orientation, they ensure control of certain vertebral movements.
Leur mise en tension joue un rôle fondamental dans le maintien dynamique de la courbure de profil appelée cintre sagittal. Cette précontrainte en lordose assure une protection antalgique de la flexion en réduisant les contraintes transmises au travers des trois colonnes de soutien constitutrices du rachis lombaire. Their tensioning plays a fundamental role in the dynamic maintenance of the profile curvature called sagittal arch. This pre-stress in lordosis provides analgesic protection of flexion by reducing the stresses transmitted through the three support columns constituting the lumbar spine.
Dans le cadre du vieillissement physiologique ou au décours d'affections dites dégénératives, se produit un relâchement des éléments de soutien, capsulo-ligamentaires, et discaux. As part of physiological aging or in the course of so-called degenerative conditions, there is a relaxation of the support elements, capsulo-ligaments, and discs.
Des perturbations dans les rapports anatomiques accompagnées de mouvements pathologiques, sont à l'origine d'affections douloureuses lombalgiques et radiculaires. Disturbances in the anatomical reports accompanied by pathological movements, are at the origin of painful lumbago and radicular affections.
Pour remédier à ces insuffisances, des techniques palliatives ont été imaginées. To remedy these shortcomings, palliative techniques have been devised.
Certaines appelées ligamentoplasties visent à un rappel Some called ligamentoplasties are intended as a reminder

postérieur des épineuses. Malheureusement, ces procédures produisent des hyper-appuis osseux et ne permettent pas la remise en tension des structures ligamentaires postérieures. posterior of thorny. Unfortunately, these procedures produce hyper-bone supports and do not allow the re-tensioning of the posterior ligament structures.
L'interposition, par voie postérieure, à la jonction lame- épineuse, d'une cale rigide, induit un transfert des contraintes au niveau de la colonne antérieure et donc des pathologies. The interposition, by the posterior route, at the blade-thorny junction, of a rigid wedge, induces a transfer of stresses at the level of the anterior column and therefore pathologies.
Pour pallier ces effets iatrogènes néfastes, une prothèse jouant le rôle de cale amortissante biocompatible au profil anatomique a été proposée par le document FR-A-2775183. Cet implant, par son effet distractant, remet en tension les structures ligamentaires postérieures lors des mouvements. To overcome these harmful iatrogenic effects, a prosthesis acting as a biocompatible cushioning wedge with an anatomical profile has been proposed by document FR-A-2775183. This implant, by its distracting effect, restores tension to the posterior ligament structures during movements.
Selon FR-A-2775183, la prothèse est réalisée en un matériau multidirectionnellement souple et élastique, et comprend une portion inter-épineuse ayant une épaisseur légèrement supérieure à un espace inter-épineux anatomique lorsque le rachis est en lordose. Elle présente deux paires d'oreilles faisant saillie longitudinalement de part et d'autre de sa portion inter-épineuse, ces oreilles ayant des hauteurs importantes par rapport à la hauteur totale de la prothèse, de l'ordre pour chaque paire d'oreilles, de 30 à 45 % de cette hauteur totale ; chaque paire d'oreilles délimite un évidemment profond apte à recevoir l'apophyse épineuse correspondante avec une large surface de contact de ces oreilles et de cette apophyse. According to FR-A-2775183, the prosthesis is made of a multidirectionally flexible and elastic material, and comprises an interspinous portion having a thickness slightly greater than an anatomic interspinous space when the spine is in lordosis. It has two pairs of ears protruding longitudinally on either side of its interspinous portion, these ears having significant heights relative to the total height of the prosthesis, of the order for each pair of ears, from 30 to 45% of this total height; each pair of ears delimits a deep obviously suitable for receiving the corresponding spinous process with a large contact surface of these ears and this process.
Sa fonction est double. Its function is twofold.
D'une part, lors de la flexion dorsale, elle permet un amortissement et donc absorbe les contraintes. On the one hand, during dorsal flexion, it allows damping and therefore absorbs stresses.
D'autre part, lors d'une flexion antérieure, son étirement progressif rappelle les arcs postérieurs, limitant la transmission des contraintes aux disques. Cette fonction d'assistance discale s'opère grâce à deux liens indépendants, réunissant chaque extrémité de l'implant à l'épineuse adjacente. On the other hand, during an anterior flexion, its progressive stretching recalls the posterior arches, limiting the transmission of stresses to the discs. This disc assist function operates through two independent links, joining each end of the implant to the adjacent thorny.

Cette prothèse se révèle très efficace. Cependant, sa mise en place nécessite actuellement un geste chirurgical aux conséquences néfastes. This prosthesis is very effective. However, its installation currently requires a surgical procedure with harmful consequences.
En effet, la mise en place de la prothèse, selon une direction postéro-antérieure, conduit le chirurgien à reséquer le complexe ligamentaire inter et supra-épineux, supprimant par là sa fonction de charnière postérieure du mouvement. Dans ces conditions, la fonction de précontrainte lombaire en lordose n'est véritablement restituée qu'après cicatrisation du vestige ligamentaire dont les qualités mécaniques sont aléatoires car altérées. Indeed, the installation of the prosthesis, in a postero-anterior direction, leads the surgeon to resect the inter and supraspinous ligament complex, thereby eliminating its function of posterior hinge of the movement. Under these conditions, the lumbar prestressing function in lordosis is not really restored until the ligament remains healed, the mechanical qualities of which are random because they are impaired.
Par ailleurs, l'abord chirurgical médian conduit au décollement bilatéral des loges musculaires, source de douleurs post-opératoires et de remaniements anatomiques fonctionnellement perturbants. Furthermore, the median surgical approach leads to bilateral detachment of the muscle compartments, a source of post-operative pain and functionally disturbing anatomical changes.
La présente invention remédie à ces inconvénients. The present invention overcomes these drawbacks.
Elle exploite les propriétés mécaniques de déformation élastique de la prothèse proposée pour réduire son encombrement avant de finaliser l'implantation. It exploits the mechanical properties of elastic deformation of the proposed prosthesis to reduce its size before finalizing the implantation.
Son avantage est donc de limiter l'aire d'introduction de l'implant et conséquemment de réduire l'invasivité de la procédure. Its advantage is therefore to limit the area of introduction of the implant and consequently to reduce the invasiveness of the procedure.
Par ailleurs, la déformation imposée par la prothèse avant l'implantation est maintenue par des moyens de bridage amovibles ce qui permet aisément de recouvrer la forme initiale de la prothèse dès l'opération terminée. Furthermore, the deformation imposed by the prosthesis before implantation is maintained by removable clamping means which easily makes it possible to recover the initial shape of the prosthesis as soon as the operation is completed.
Un autre avantage de l'invention est que le rapprochement de deux bras homolatéraux par la déformation élastique confère un profil en coin à la face latérale longitudinale. Another advantage of the invention is that the bringing together of two homolateral arms by the elastic deformation gives a wedge profile to the longitudinal lateral face.
Dans ces conditions, l'implant peut être introduit dans l'espace intervertébral par une voie unilatérale. Les structures ligamentaires les plus postérieures restent intactes, ainsi que les insertions musculaires controlatérales. Under these conditions, the implant can be introduced into the intervertebral space by a unilateral route. The most posterior ligament structures remain intact, as do the contralateral muscle insertions.

Un autre objet de l'invention est de proposer un procédé ainsi qu'un outil apte à préparer une telle prothèse. Leur mise en oeuvre s'avère très pratique et permet, notamment, d'envisager une préparation de la prothèse par le chirurgien avant l'opération. Another object of the invention is to provide a method and a tool capable of preparing such a prosthesis. Their implementation is very practical and allows, in particular, to consider a preparation of the prosthesis by the surgeon before the operation.
D'autres buts et avantages ressortiront de la description qui suit qui n'est cependant pas donnée à titre limitatif de l'invention. Other objects and advantages will emerge from the description which follows, which however is not given by way of limitation of the invention.

Selon une variante, les moyens de bridage sont constitués d'une agrafe dont les parties latérales s'appliquent sur les premiers et second bras, par la face intérieure aux évidements qu'elles délimitent. According to a variant, the clamping means consist of a clip whose lateral parts are applied to the first and second arms, by the inner face to the recesses which they delimit.

L'invention concerne enfin un outil pour la préparation d'une prothèse inter-épineuse en matériau multidirectionnellement souple et élastique apte à être insérée dans l'espace inter-épineux anatomique, comprenant deux paires de bras faisant chacune saillie longitudinalement de part et d'autre d'une portion inter-épineuse et délimitant un évidement apte à la préparation d'une prothèse selon l'invention. caractérisé par le fait qu'il est constitué d'une pince dotée de deux mors tels que : les mors présentent des surfaces de pression se faisant The invention finally relates to a tool for the preparation of an interspinous prosthesis made of multidirectionally flexible and elastic material capable of being inserted into the anatomic interspinous space, comprising two pairs of arms each protruding longitudinally from right and left another of an interspinous portion and delimiting a recess suitable for the preparation of a prosthesis according to the invention. characterized by the fact that it consists of a clamp having two jaws such that: the jaws have pressure surfaces which are

Prosthesis 1 according to the invention may be produced on the basis of a prosthesis which is the subject of patent application FR-A-2 775 183 already cited.
Un mode de réalisation de cette prothèse est présenté aux An embodiment of this prosthesis is presented to
<Desc/Clms Page number 7><Desc / Clms Page number 7>
figures 1 et 2 où on visualise qu'elle comprend une portion inter-épineuse (5) apte à être introduite entre deux apophyses successives (2) ainsi que deux évidements (3 a, 3 b) délimités par des paires de bras (4 a, 4 b) aptes à s'appliquer sur les apophyses épineuses (2). Figures 1 and 2 where we see that it includes an interspinous portion (5) able to be introduced between two successive processes (2) and two recesses (3 a, 3 b) delimited by pairs of arms (4 a , 4 b) capable of being applied to the spinous processes (2).
Les figures 3 et 4 montrent des phases d'implantation d'une telle prothèse (1). Figures 3 and 4 show phases of implantation of such a prosthesis (1).
Selon cet exemple mais de façon non limitative, la prothèse (1) est recouverte d'une gaine (17) qui peut être en un tissu plus facilement toléré par l'organisme. Par ailleurs, des liens (18) sont présents pour renforcer la fixation de la prothèse (1) entre les deux apophyses (2). A ce sujet, des passages (19) visibles notamment en figure 2 sont réalisés au coeur de la portion inter-épineuse (5) de la prothèse (1) pour assurer l'introduction des liens (18). Ces liens (18) peuvent alors entourer les apophyses (2) tel que cela est représenté aux figures 3 et 4. According to this example, but not limited to, the prosthesis (1) is covered with a sheath (17) which may be made of a fabric more easily tolerated by the body. Furthermore, links (18) are present to reinforce the fixing of the prosthesis (1) between the two processes (2). In this regard, passages (19) visible in particular in Figure 2 are made at the heart of the interspinous portion (5) of the prosthesis (1) to ensure the introduction of the links (18). These links (18) can then surround the processes (2) as shown in Figures 3 and 4.
Avantageusement, et comme déjà connu du document précité FR-A-2 775 183, la prothèse (1) pourrait être en silicone. Advantageously, and as already known from the aforementioned document FR-A-2 775 183, the prosthesis (1) could be made of silicone.
Son caractère souple et élastique permettra un travail en compression dans la portion inter-épineuse vertébrale. Its flexible and elastic nature will allow work in compression in the vertebral interspinous portion.
Tel qu'indiqué précédemment et comme il se déduit des figures 3 et 4, l'implantation de la prothèse figurée nécessite de réaliser un passage de taille relativement conséquente. As indicated above and as it is deduced from Figures 3 and 4, the implantation of the figured prosthesis requires making a passage of relatively substantial size.
Au contraire, la prothèse 1 perfectionnée selon l'invention diminue fortement l'aire d'introduction nécessaire à l'implantation entre les deux apophyses (2). On the contrary, the improved prosthesis 1 according to the invention greatly reduces the area of introduction necessary for implantation between the two processes (2).
Pour y parvenir, on déforme un premier bras (6) et un second bras (7) appartenant chacun à une paire (4 a, 4 b) différente en les soumettant à un effort de flexion. Cette sollicitation en flexion est figurée par deux flèches en figure 5. Le résultat obtenu est visible en figure 6 où les bras (6,7) sont orientés vers l'extérieur à l'évidement (3 a, To achieve this, a first arm (6) and a second arm (7) are deformed, each belonging to a different pair (4 a, 4 b) by subjecting them to a bending force. This bending stress is represented by two arrows in FIG. 5. The result obtained is visible in FIG. 6 where the arms (6,7) are oriented towards the outside at the recess (3 a,
<Desc/Clms Page number 8><Desc / Clms Page number 8>
3b) qu'ils délimitent. Durant cette étape, les bras (6, 7) ont tendance à se rapprocher dans une position fléchie et, par contre, à s'éloigner de l'autre bras composant leur paire respective (4 a, 4 b). 3b) that they delimit. During this step, the arms (6, 7) tend to approach in a bent position and, on the other hand, to move away from the other arm making up their respective pair (4 a, 4 b).
Pour faciliter la déformation des bras (6,7), une rainure orientée dans la direction de l'axe de flexion des bras (c'est à dire la hauteur de la prothèse) peut être constituée soit sur un bras (6,7), soit sur les deux, soit sur la partie intermédiaire de la portion inter-épineuse. To facilitate the deformation of the arms (6,7), a groove oriented in the direction of the axis of flexion of the arms (ie the height of the prosthesis) can be formed either on an arm (6,7) , either on the two, or on the intermediate part of the interspinous portion.
Cette ou ces rainures se situent sur les faces opposées aux faces intérieures 8,9. This or these grooves are located on the faces opposite to the inner faces 8, 9.
Bien entendu, on utilise ici les propriétés d'élasticité du matériau employé pour constituer la prothèse (1). Il est ainsi possible de déformer fortement en flexion les bras (6, 7) sans pour autant arriver à la rupture ou à une déformation plastique. Par ailleurs, la forme initiale de la prothèse telle qu'elle apparaît à la figure 5 pourra être recouvrée par la suite. Of course, the elasticity properties of the material used are used here to constitute the prosthesis (1). It is thus possible to strongly deform in bending the arms (6, 7) without however achieving rupture or plastic deformation. Furthermore, the initial shape of the prosthesis as it appears in Figure 5 can be recovered later.
Entre-temps, pour maintenir en position déformée les bras (6,7), on a recours à des moyens de bridage qui seront avantageusement amovibles. Meanwhile, to keep the arms (6,7) in a deformed position, use is made of clamping means which will advantageously be removable.
Un mode de réalisation des moyens de bridage est particulièrement illustré aux figures 6 à 8 dans lesquelles ils sont constitués par une agrafe (10) comportant un corps (11) relié en deux parties latérales (12 a, 12 b). An embodiment of the clamping means is particularly illustrated in FIGS. 6 to 8 in which they consist of a clip (10) comprising a body (11) connected in two lateral parts (12 a, 12 b).
L'agrafe (10) pourrait être en matière métallique rigide ou encore en plastique ou même en matériau composite. Elle devra bien entendu comporter des caractéristiques de résistance mécanique aptes à maintenir en position déformée les bras (6,7). Un acier de type courant déformé de façon plastique pour constituer le U de l'agrafe (10) pourra convenir. The clip (10) could be made of rigid metallic material or plastic or even composite material. It should of course include mechanical strength characteristics capable of keeping the arms in the deformed position (6,7). A common type of plastic deformed steel to form the U of the clip (10) may be suitable.
La prothèse (1) selon l'invention ainsi bridée est visible en figure 7. Selon l'exemple de moyens de bridage The prosthesis (1) according to the invention thus clamped is visible in Figure 7. According to the example of clamping means
<Desc/Clms Page number 9><Desc / Clms Page number 9>
constitués par une agrafe (10), les parties latérales (12 a, 12 b) s'appliquent sur les faces intérieures (8, 9) des bras (6,7). On entend par faces intérieures (8,9) les parois latérales des bras (6,7) qui se situent à l'intérieur de l'évidement (3 a, 3 b) que les bras (6,7) participent à délimiter. constituted by a staple (10), the lateral parts (12 a, 12 b) are applied to the internal faces (8, 9) of the arms (6,7). By inner faces (8, 9) is meant the lateral walls of the arms (6,7) which are located inside the recess (3 a, 3 b) that the arms (6,7) participate in delimiting.
Comme cela ressort nettement de la figure 7, l'encombrement de la prothèse (1) est particulièrement limité en ce qui concerne l'envergure des deux bras (6,7) homolatéraux. L'insertion de la prothèse dans l'espace inter- épineux est alors grandement facilitée et on diminue l'invasivité de cette étape chirurgicale. As is clear from FIG. 7, the size of the prosthesis (1) is particularly limited as regards the span of the two homolateral arms (6,7). The insertion of the prosthesis into the interspinous space is then greatly facilitated and the invasiveness of this surgical step is reduced.
Pour faciliter encore l'insertion de la prothèse (1), l'agrafe (10) peut présenter un profil particulier, sensiblement en forme de pointe au niveau du corps (11) et dans la continuité des parties latérales (12 a, 12 b). Cette forme globalement ogivale de l'agrafe, évite tout aspect anguleux de l'agrafe (10). To further facilitate the insertion of the prosthesis (1), the clip (10) may have a particular profile, substantially in the form of a point at the level of the body (11) and in continuity with the lateral parts (12 a, 12 b ). This generally ogival shape of the clip, avoids any angular aspect of the clip (10).
La prothèse telle que présentée dans un mode préféré à la figure 7 peut être mis en place par voie latérale non délabrante. Une fois cette mise en place réalisée, les moyens de bridage amovibles peuvent être ôtés de la prothèse (1) ce qui engendre naturellement la reprise de forme initiale des premier (6) et second bras (7). Cette étape est schématisée en figure 8 où une flèche horizontale illustre le retrait de l'agrafe (10) alors que deux flèches verticales de sens opposés schématisent la reprise de forme des bras (6,7). The prosthesis as presented in a preferred mode in FIG. 7 can be placed in a non-dilapidated lateral way. Once this implementation has been carried out, the removable clamping means can be removed from the prosthesis (1), which naturally generates the initial shape resumption of the first (6) and second arms (7). This step is shown diagrammatically in FIG. 8 where a horizontal arrow illustrates the withdrawal of the clip (10) while two vertical arrows in opposite directions schematize the resumption of shape of the arms (6,7).
Dans le cas d'une agrafe (10), son extraction peut être effectuée par une contre-incision de faible dimension. In the case of a staple (10), its extraction can be carried out by a small counter-incision.
La figure 9 montre finalement le résultat obtenu à savoir le retour à la forme initiale de la prothèse (1). FIG. 9 finally shows the result obtained, namely the return to the initial shape of the prosthesis (1).
On notera que l'approche de mise en place est latérale ce qui a l'avantage de préserver le ligament inter-épineux (non représenté en figure 3 et 4). Par cette préservation, on peut It will be noted that the positioning approach is lateral, which has the advantage of preserving the interspinous ligament (not shown in FIGS. 3 and 4). By this preservation, we can

éviter d'avoir recours à des liens 18, la tenue de la prothèse (1) étant assurée. avoid using links 18, the holding of the prosthesis (1) being ensured.
Dans cette configuration, les bras de chaque paire (4 a, 4 b) s'appliquent sur les apophyses supérieures et inférieures (2). In this configuration, the arms of each pair (4 a, 4 b) are applied to the upper and lower processes (2).
Les dimensions de la prothèse (1) ici présentée ne sont pas limitées et seront adaptées à l'anatomie de l'individu dans lequel elle doit être implantée. On pourra se référer à des exemples de dimensions tels que connus de l'état de la technique et particulièrement du document antérieur déjà cité FR-A-2 775 183. The dimensions of the prosthesis (1) presented here are not limited and will be adapted to the anatomy of the individual in which it is to be implanted. Reference may be made to examples of dimensions as known from the prior art and in particular from the previously cited prior document FR-A-2 775 183.
On décrit ci-après plus précisément un outil permettant la préparation d'une prothèse (1) selon l'invention ainsi que la mise en oeuvre du procédé de préparation tels qu'ils ont été décrits précédemment. More specifically described below is a tool allowing the preparation of a prosthesis (1) according to the invention as well as the implementation of the preparation process as described above.
Cet outil et son usage sont plus particulièrement illustrés aux figures 10,1, 14. This tool and its use are more particularly illustrated in Figures 10,1, 14.
L'outil permettra la réalisation d'une prothèse (1) selon l'invention à partir d'une prothèse telle que connue notamment du document FR-A-2 775 183. The tool will allow the production of a prosthesis (1) according to the invention from a prosthesis as known in particular from document FR-A-2 775 183.
L'outil selon l'invention est essentiellement constitué d'une pince (13) dotée de deux mors (14 a, 14 b) situés sur deux branches de la pince (13) relié par une entablure (20). The tool according to the invention essentially consists of a clamp (13) provided with two jaws (14 a, 14 b) located on two branches of the clamp (13) connected by a tang (20).
Cette configuration est visible à la figure 10. This configuration is visible in Figure 10.
Par ailleurs, chaque mors (14 a, 14 b) présente des surfaces de pression (15 a, 15 b) sensiblement au niveau de son extrémité distale. Les surfaces de pression (15 a, 15 b) peuvent être appliquées sur le premier (6) et le second bras (7) de la prothèse (1). Cette application s'effectue par la face intérieure (8,9) telle que précédemment présentée. La figure 13 montre l'approche des deux mors (14 a, 14 b) de la pince (13) au niveau des bras (6,7) à déformer. Furthermore, each jaw (14 a, 14 b) has pressure surfaces (15 a, 15 b) substantially at its distal end. The pressure surfaces (15 a, 15 b) can be applied to the first (6) and the second arm (7) of the prosthesis (1). This application is carried out by the internal face (8, 9) as previously presented. Figure 13 shows the approach of the two jaws (14 a, 14 b) of the clamp (13) at the arms (6,7) to be deformed.
La figure 14 montre la réalisation de la déformation par application des surfaces d'appui (15 a, 15 b) sur les faces FIG. 14 shows how the deformation is achieved by applying the bearing surfaces (15 a, 15 b) to the faces
<Desc/Clms Page number 11><Desc / Clms Page number 11>
intérieures (8, 9). Les deux autres bras homolatéraux constitutifs des paires (4 a, 4 b) de bras sont quant à eux maintenus à l'extérieur de la surface de pression (15 a, 15 b) de la pince (13). interior (8, 9). The two other homolateral arms constituting the pairs (4 a, 4 b) of arms are held outside the pressure surface (15 a, 15 b) of the clamp (13).
En ajustant l'effort de rapprochement des mors (14 a, 14 b) de la pince (13), on ajuste la déformation souhaitée pour les bras (6,7). By adjusting the approximation force of the jaws (14 a, 14 b) of the clamp (13), the desired deformation for the arms (6, 7) is adjusted.
Lorsque celle-ci est obtenue, il s'agit de maintenir en position ces bras. When this is obtained, it is a question of keeping these arms in position.
A cet effet, les surfaces de pression (15 a, 15b) comportent chacune une rainure (16 a, 16b) dont un exemple de réalisation est montré aux figures 11 et 12. To this end, the pressure surfaces (15a, 15b) each have a groove (16a, 16b), an exemplary embodiment of which is shown in FIGS. 11 and 12.
De façon préférée ces rainures (16 a, 16 b) sont constituées par des évidements réalisés dans les surfaces de pression (15 a, 15 b) et sont orientées transversalement au sens long des mors (14 a, 14 b) c'est à dire sensiblement suivant l'axe du pivot de l'entablure (20). Preferably, these grooves (16 a, 16 b) consist of recesses made in the pressure surfaces (15 a, 15 b) and are oriented transversely in the long direction of the jaws (14 a, 14 b). say substantially along the axis of the pivot of the entablature (20).
Les rainures (16 a, 16 b) servent, dans le mode de réalisation de la prothèse (1) dans lequel les moyens de bridage amovibles sont constitués par une agrafe (10), à réaliser l'introduction des deux parties latérales (12 a, 12 b) de l'agrafe (10) pour leur application sur les faces intérieures (8,9) des bras (6,7). The grooves (16 a, 16 b) are used, in the embodiment of the prosthesis (1) in which the removable clamping means are constituted by a clip (10), to effect the introduction of the two lateral parts (12 a , 12 b) of the clip (10) for their application on the inner faces (8,9) of the arms (6,7).
Bien entendu, la largeur des rainures (16 a, 16 b) est adaptée aux dimensions des parties latérales (12 a, 12 b). Of course, the width of the grooves (16 a, 16 b) is adapted to the dimensions of the lateral parts (12 a, 12 b).
Une fois l'introduction réalisée, l'utilisateur peut détendre la pression qu'il applique sur la pince (13) et la prothèse est ainsi préparée dans l'état visible à la figure 7. Once the introduction has been made, the user can relax the pressure he applies to the forceps (13) and the prosthesis is thus prepared in the state visible in FIG. 7.
Bien entendu, la pince (13) ici présentée dans un mode d'utilisation manuel pourrait être employé de façon industrielle pour une fabrication à la chaîne auquel cas l'actionnement des mors (14 a, 14 b) peut être motorisé par tout moyen connu. Of course, the clamp (13) here presented in a manual mode of use could be used industrially for chain production in which case the actuation of the jaws (14 a, 14 b) can be motorized by any known means .
Compte tenu du faible coût de sa réalisation et de Given the low cost of its realization and

l'intérêt sur le plan de la technique opératoire, les indications de pose de la prothèse selon l'invention sont considérablement élargies par rapport à l'état de la technique. Notamment, elle pourra s'appliquer désormais au domaine de la pathologie des hernies discales à ce jour seulement traitées de façon palliative par ablation de la matrice discale. Il est dorénavant aussi possible d'adjoindre une prothèse au cours d'une discectomie en micro-technique. the interest in terms of the surgical technique, the indications for placing the prosthesis according to the invention are considerably enlarged compared with the state of the art. In particular, it can henceforth be applied to the field of pathology of herniated discs to date only treated in a palliative manner by ablation of the disc matrix. It is now also possible to add a prosthesis during a micro-technique discectomy.
