Abstract: The fixing apparatus includes a pressure fixing device to pressure fix a rod to a circular arc rod engagement portion, and small protruding portions that bite into the rod and have an acute angle in both end sides of the rod engagement portion outside of the pressure fixing device. A recess surface of the circular arc rod engagement portion between the small protruding portions is formed as a rough surface.

Abstract: A rod connector is provided with a rod supporting portion in a part of a connector main body supported to a leading end of a shank portion. A rod pressing portion is provided in a side opposing to the rod supporting portion, and a rod is clamped and fixed by the rod pressing portion and the rod supporting portion. At this time, small convex portions provided in the rod supporting portion eat into the rod.

Abstract: An intervertebral cage 41 of the present invention is comprised of a main body 43 defined by an upper surface 43 E, a lower surface 43 D, a pair of side surfaces 43A, 43B; and withdrawal prevention means formed on the upper and/or the lower surfaces of the main body 43 and asymmetrically in a sectional side view.

Abstract: A rod connector 1 is provided with a rod supporting portion 9 in a part of a connector main body 11 supported to a leading end of a shank portion 3. A rod pressing portion 15 is provided in a side opposing to the rod supporting portion 9, and a rod 7 is clamped and fixed by the rod pressing portion 15 and the rod supporting portion 9. At this time, small convex portions 25 provided in the rod supporting portion eat into the rod 7.

Abstract: A vertebra body plate 1 is comprised of a main body portion 3 having an approximately point symmetric shape around a point O in which a first diagonal line M connecting a pair of acute angle portions A, C′ having acute angles opposing to each other, crosses a second diagonal line N connecting a pair of obtuse angle portions B, D′ having obtuse angles opposing to each other, a pair of screw insertion holes 9 provided on or near the first diagonal line M of the main body portion 3, and two spike 7 provided on each of the first diagonal line M and the second diagonal line N.

Abstract: The fixing apparatus 1 is comprised of a pressure fixing device 13 for freely pressure fixing the rod portion 7R to a circular arc rod engagement portion 9 freely engaging with the rod portion 7R, and small protruding portions 15, 15 eating into the rod portion 7R and having an acute angle in both end sides of the rod engagement portion 9 outside the pressure fixing device 13. Further, a recess surface 9A of the rod engagement portion 9 between the small protruding portions 15, 15 provided in the rod engagement portion 9 is formed as a rough surface.
