A connector () for a spinal osteosynthesis device, for connecting two rods to a plate fixed in a vertebra, includes a first orifice () opening onto two opposed faces () of the connector (), and two other orifices () opening onto two other opposed faces () of the connector (). Each of the two other orifices () are each designed to receive a rod () of the osteosynthesis device. The connector () includes a mechanism making it possible, when the connector () is push-fitted onto a protrusion () of a bone anchor member, to tighten the rods () simultaneously in the two other orifices () when a nut () is screwed onto the protrusion (). An assembly for spinal osteosynthesis device includes a plate () that includes a protrusion (), a connector () as previously described, and a nut ().

Spinal osteosynthesis connector and instrumentation

Anchoring plate for a device for osteosynthesis of the vertebral column, including means for connecting it to one or more rods or to a plate. Its lower face is configured to match the shape of a contact zone situated to straddle two vertebrae, and it has openings for the passage of screws. The device for osteosynthesis of the vertebral column includes one or more rods or plates connected to vertebrae by way of connectors and anchoring plates. At least one of the anchoring plates is of the above type described above.
