A pedicle augmenter is provided for reconstruction of a vertebra subjected
to loss of bone mass or fracture, and is to be planted into the vertebra
from a pedicle of the vertebra for helping maintain or restore normal
position and size of the vertebra. Through the pedicle, a device, fit the
pedicle anatomy, was created to reconstruct the fractured or collapsed
vertebral body. The device has a rectangular bar-shape, and has a first
end, a second end, four sides, a recess on the second end, and a screw
hole lengthwise formed on the second end; each of the four sides has a
sloping portion near to the first end; the four sides of the body
augmenter have cavities on other portions thereof, which cavities
communicate with each other to form a hollow area together. The fractured
body was reduced and maintained by such device until the bone growth and
fracture union.
