    摘要: An interspinous implant includes a spacer having an upwardly facing concave saddle and a downwardly facing concave saddle. The lateral sides of the implant are pulled inward to force the saddles vertically away from each other, thereby increasing the effective height of the implant. In one version, a strap extends circumferentially around the anterior and posterior surfaces of the spacer, such that tightening the strap causes the saddles to move away from each other. In another version, the spacer includes a first outwardly facing convex segment disposed on a first lateral side of the saddles and a second outwardly facing convex segment disposed on a second lateral side of the saddles. A rod extends between the first and second convex segments and is fixed to the first convex segment and movable relative to the second convex segment.

    摘要: A spinal rod includes a core component and a tube. The core component has a diameter and an axial length. The tube has a diameter equal to or less than the diameter of the core component. A vibrational energy is applied between the core and the tube such that the core is received within the tube and the tube is advanced along the axial length of the tube. The spinal rod composite then has facial conformance forces maintaining the tube position along the axial length of the core.

    摘要: A spinal rod includes a metal component and a tube. The core component has a radius. The tube has a first state with a first state tube inner radius and a first state tube outer radius. The first state tube inner radius is greater than the core component radius. The tube has a second state with a second state tube inner radius and a second state tube outer radius. The second state tube inner radius is generally equal to the core component radius. The tube is deformable from the first state to the second state.

In one form, the device includes a bending mechanism having a plurality of engaging members are selectively positioned relative to a receiving area. In one embodiment, a first set of engaging members is positioned in a select arrangement, and a second set of the engaging members is movable relative to the select arrangement of the first set of engaging members to compressingly engage the elongate member to bend the elongate member to a desired shape/contour. The device also includes a heating element configured to apply heat to one or more portions of the elongate member to facilitate bending. In one form, the elongate member is formed of a heat deformable material, and heat is applied to soften one or more portions of the elongate member to provide added flexibility to facilitate bending.

    摘要: This invention relates to orthopedic implants and to methods of treating bone defects. More specifically, but not exclusively, the present invention is directed to non-metallic implants and to methods for intra-operative assembly and fixation of orthopedic implants to facilitate medical treatment. The non-metallic implant assembly can be secured to underlying tissue by a fastener, such as a bone screw, that is capable of swelling on contact with fluid in the underlying tissue. Alternatively, the non-metallic implant assembly can be assembled intra-operatively using a fastener that is adhesively bonded to a bone plate or the bone plate can be deformed using heat, force, or solvents to inhibit withdrawal of the fastener. In preferred embodiments, both the fastener and the bone plate are formed of biodegradable material.
