Abstract:
An arthrodesis implant (1) for promoting the osseous fusion of a first bone (2) with a second bone (3), the implant (1) comprising a primary component (4) including a primary anchoring body (5) and a male connector (6), and a secondary component (7) including a secondary anchoring body (8) and a female connector (9), the female connector (9) comprising: a main body (10) which extends longitudinally between a rear end (11) linked to the secondary anchoring body (8) and an opposite front face (12), and which has a lateral wall (14) linking the rear end (11) to the front face (12), a housing (15) formed within the main body (10) and configured to receive the male connector (6) in order to link together the primary (4) and secondary (7) components, the female connector (9) further comprising an opening (18) which is formed in the main body (10), in communication with the housing (15), and which extends continuously on both the front face (12) and the lateral wall (14), and which is sized and configured to enable a lateral introduction of the male connector (6) into the housing (15) via the opening (18), each of the primary (4) and secondary (6) components forming an integral part made in one piece, and the primary (5) and secondary (8) anchoring bodies being respectively designed to ensure the insertion and anchoring of the primary component (4) into the first bone (2), and of the secondary component (7) into the second bone (3), by impaction or by forced wedging.
