Abstract: Vertebral stabilization techniques labelled “vertebropexy” can be used after microsurgical decompression (intact posterior structures) and midline decompression (removed posterior structures). Vertebropexy is a concept of semi-rigid spinal stabilization based on reinforcement of the spinal segment and is able to reduce motion, especially in flexion-extension.

Abstract: A method of injecting a foldable implant (1) into a body cavity of a patient includes the step of providing the foldable implant (1). The method further includes the step of injecting the provided implant (1) in an unfolded state into the body cavity, wherein in the unfolded state the implant (1) is essentially straight extending along a longitudinal axis (L). The method further includes the step of folding the injected implant (1) from the unfolded state into a folded state, wherein in the folded state the implant (1) has a plurality of loops (2) each extending radially from a fold center (3).
