Abstract
The spinal stabilization device is implanted using a surgical procedure referred to as an anterior lumbar interbody fusion (AILF). The body of the device includes upper and lower surfaces that are placed in direct contact with the adjacent vertebrae. After placement of the device between the vertebrae, a threaded member is rotated to cause the anchoring element to push into the body of the device, causing the extension of tangs through the upper and lower surfaces and into the adjacent vertebrae of the patient. Movement of the anchoring element with respect to the body is caused by rotation of a threaded actuator. The threaded actuator is a permanent element of the spinal stabilization device, rather than being integrated into a temporary tool.
