Abstract

L'objectif de la présente invention est de fournir un implant d'apophyse interépineuse pouvant être inséré par vissage plus facilement que dans le passé lors de l'insertion percutanée de l'implant par vissage de l'implant dans le corps. Une partie de vis 1 d'un implant d'apophyse interépineuse 100 comprend une première partie de vis 4 et une seconde partie de vis 5, dans l'ordre depuis le côté d'extrémité distale. Dans la première partie de vis 4, un plan virtuel S1 reliant les sommets des filets de vis a une forme conique effilée évidée sur l'extérieur. Dans la deuxième partie de vis 5, un plan virtuel S2 reliant les sommets des filets de vis a une forme de cône tronqué qui est bombée vers l'extérieur.
