Abstract
Disclosed is a device for carrying out a distraction and/or a compression of vertebral bodies during spinal surgery, said device comprising a first and a second sleeve-shaped extension part, each part having a longitudinal direction and each of which parts can be secured on a bone anchor in a detachable but rigid and rotationally fixed manner. The device is characterized by a first eccentric bearing part and a second counter bearing part, which parts can be positioned on the first and on the second extension part respectively in corresponding positions, and in that, at least the eccentric bearing part can be rotated relative to the first extension part about the longitudinal direction of said extension part, such that due to the eccentricity, the first bearing part can be brought into contact with the second counter bearing part and thus a bearing position is formed for forming a pivot joint between the two extension parts in order to perform the distraction or compression.
