    摘要: The present invention provides a bone fastener assembly useful in constructs for stabilizing bones of a patient. In one aspect of the invention, a bone fastener assembly includes a connecting member, a fastener seat, and a bone fastener. The fastener seat and fastener are receivable in the connecting member and the fastener seat is movable from a first position to a second position to retain the fastener in the connecting member. In another aspect of the invention, a bone fastener assembly includes a rod holder, a fastener seat mounted to the rod holder for rotation about the rod holder axis; and a bone, fastener. The bone fastener is generally “T”-shaped and engages the fastener seat in pivoting relationship such that the bone fastener is able to pivot to vary the angle between the bone fastener and the fastener seat.

    摘要: The present invention provides spinous process implant and associated methods. In one aspect of the invention the implant limits the maximum spacing between the spinous processes. In another aspect of the invention, a spacer has at least one transverse opening to facilitate tissue in-growth. In another aspect of the invention, an implant includes a spacer and separate extensions engageable with the spacer. The spacer is provided in a variety of lengths and superior to inferior surface spacings. In another aspect of the invention, an implant includes a spacer and a cerclage element offset from the midline of the spacer in use so that the spacer defines a fulcrum and the cerclage element is operative to impart a moment to the vertebrae about the spacer. In another aspect of the invention, instrumentation for inserting the implant is provided. In other aspects of the invention, methods for treating spine disease are provided.

    摘要: A cervical plate having backout or reverse threading protection is provided. The cervical plate has one screw bores through which at least one screw extends to anchor the cervical plate to a vertebra. The plate further has at least one channel with at least one engaging edge. A cover plate has a cover plate that extends over a portion of a screw head of the screw. The cover plate also has a locking extension with at least one locking edge at a distal end. The locking extension is inserted into the channel such that the engaging edge and the locking edge engage and hold the cover plate such that the cover plate edge is substantially adjacent the portion of the screw head preventing the screw from backing out.

    摘要: A surgical method, tool, and system to facilitate spinal surgery includes locating an inferior pedicle and guiding a bone cutting device to the inferior pedicle. The bone cutting device is used to remove a necessary portion of the vertebral body to provide access to the disc space. Typically the bone cutting device is removed and a speculum is inserted along the bone cutter guide until the speculum contacts a disc annulus between the inferior vertebral body and a superior vertebral body. The speculum is moved to ensure the nerves are out of the surgical area. The speculum also provides a shield to inhibit inadvertent damage to the nerve why the surgeon is operating.

    摘要: A spinal fusion plate includes a means to support an adjacent vertebral segment to inhibit the adjacent vertebral segment from further degeneration. The means to support includes an attachment to an associated artificial disc or nucleus replacement, an extension, or an attachment to a bone anchor. In each case, the attachment is moveable in relation to the fusion plate to allow flexion and extension.
