摘要:
A device for treating spinal stenosis having an implant body structure sized and configured to be positioned between the spinous processes of two adjacent vertebrae. The device may have a body portion having a first end portion, a second end portion and a sleeve between the first and second end portions. The device may also have at least two retainers positioned in and extendable from the body portion. A mechanism positioned within the body portion may be used to move the retainers between a retracted position and a deployed position. When the retainers are in the deployed position, the retainers may be positioned around the spinous process of at least one of two adjacent vertebrae. A plurality of installation tools may be used to install the device.

摘要:
A device for holding a surgical instrument having a body, an instrument engagement device and a knob. The body has a proximal end, a distal end and a passageway positioned through the body. The instrument engagement device is positioned in the passageway and has at least two prongs moveable relative to each other to hold the surgical instrument therebetween. The knob is preferably positioned on the proximal end of the body and operatively associated with the at least two prongs so that movement of the knob causes movement of the prongs. The prongs may further include at least one ridge for engaging at least one slot on the surgical instrument. The knob may further comprise a cap at its proximal end positioned and designed for impact, for example, by a hammer, to facilitate movement of the surgical instrument into the patient. The knob may also include a locking mechanism to fix the position of the prongs.

摘要:
An implant includes an implant body sized and shaped for insertion into a sacro-iliac joint, the implant including a first bone fixation element receiving channel extending through a portion thereof along a first central axis oriented so that, when the implant body is received within the sacro-iliac joint in a desired configuration, a bone fixation element inserted into the first bone fixation element receiving channel will extend into a first one of the bones forming the joint.

A prosthesis for use in maintaining an interspinal space is disclosed. The prosthesis may be provided as first and second substantially symmetrical halves. The first and second halves may each have a coupling portion and a process portion. The coupling portions allow the separate halves to be separately fit within the interspinal space and then connected to form a single prosthesis, eliminating the need for cutting connecting ligaments to allow insertion of the prosthesis. Various connection and locking arrangements are disclosed to maintain the halves engaged with each other and the interspinal space.
摘要:
An intervertebral implant (1), having an upper section (10) provided with a ventral side area (11), a dorsal side area (12), two lateral side areas (13,14), a top apposition surface (15) and a bottom surface (16); and a lower section (20) provided with a ventral side area (21), a dorsal side area (22), two lateral side areas (23,24), a bottom apposition surface (25) and a top surface (26). The two sections (10;20) are moveable in relation to each other by means of two joints (38;39) arranged between the two sections (10;20), the two joints (38;39) are realised by an upper joint section (31) connected to the upper section (10), a central joint section (32) and a joint section (33) connected with the lower section (20). One of the external joint sections (31;33) comprises at least one concave sliding surface (58) rotation-symmetrical with regard to a swivel axle (3;4); and the other of the external joint sections (31;33) comprises at least one convex sliding surface (55) rotation-symmetrical with regard to the other swivel axle (3;4).
摘要:
A bone screw (1) is used for locking an articular facet between the superior and inferior articular processes of two vertebral bodies and is provided with a threaded shaft (2), a screw head (3) and a central axis (4). The screw head (3) is further provided with a number of grooves (5) on the periphery of the screw head (3) which run essentially parallel to said central axis (4).
