A bone implant holding and shaping tray is provided. The tray includes a first segment having a distal end and a first surface sized to hold and shape at least a portion of the bone implant with bone material. The tray includes a second segment having a second surface sized to hold and shape at least a portion of the bone implant with bone material, the second segment having a proximal end configured to be coupled to the distal end of the first segment so as to extend the first surface to hold and shape the bone implant. Methods of making and using the bone implant holding and shaping tray are also provided.

Exemplary cutting and alignment guide assemblies for use in microsurgical, plastic surgical, otolaryngological, maxillofacial, orthopedic, dental, or other surgical procedures include a first section configured to engage a first bone graft section, a second section configured to engage a second bone graft section, a first fixation mechanism configured to couple the first section with the first bone graft section, and a second fixation mechanism configured to couple the second section with the second bone graft section. The first section and the second section can be coupled via a hinge mechanism. Neo-mandible assemblies for implantation at a native mandibular defect of a patient can include a cutting and alignment guide coupled with one or more bone graft sections. In some cases, bone graft sections include bone segments from a fibula of the patient.

An intervertebral fusion device having a cage having an opening or window in its front wall that allows for the insertion of bone graft therethrough after the cage has been placed into the disc space. The device further has a faceplate that covers the front wall of the cage and provides features for securing bone screws to the adjacent vertebral bodies.

The present disclosure includes implant systems, devices, and implants. The interbody spacers including a first endplate, a second endplate, and a coupling member coupled to and extending between the first endplate and the second endplate. Methods of using the interbody spacers are also disclosed.

A sacroiliac joint screw has a screw body having a head and a treaded shank with a self-drilling cutting tip. The screw body is cannulated and configured to receive a Steinmann pin for the purpose of a minimally invasive approach (MIS) for delivery to the sacroiliac joint (SI) while minimizing soft tissue damage. The self-drilling cutting tip creates a pilot hole. The threaded shank has a plurality of spiral cutting flutes, the spiral cutting flutes extend along a length of the threaded shank and are configured to provide a constant self-tapping feature. A plurality of bone harvesting windows are positioned in the spiral cutting flutes and are configured to pull in bone as the screw is advanced into the joint.

The invention is a modular interbody fusion device for fusing adjacent spinal vertebrae that is adapted to be implanted in a prepared interbody space including a first modular segment having a width including a first rail extending at least partially along one side of the width and beyond a periphery of a body portion of the first modular segment, a second modular segment having a width and slidably connected to the first rail on one side of the width and having a second rail extending at least partially along another side of the width and beyond a periphery of a body portion of the second modular segment, a third modular segment having a width and slidably connected to the second rail on one side of the width and wherein the device has an expanded position in which the second and third modular segments are extended along the first and second rails and positioned in a generally end to end configuration spaced apart by the rails prior to implantation and an implanted position in which the modular segments are positioned in a generally side by side configuration that defines a unitary body that mimics the planar shape of the vertebra such that the device contacts and supports the adjacent vertebra.

An implant and method for fusing adjacent spinal vertebrae is disclosed. In an embodiment for a spinal implant of the present invention, the implant includes a spacer body assembly and two retention members. The two retention members each include split fork tangs wherein the tangs of each retention member are simultaneously extendable from the spacer body assembly into the adjacent vertebra. A method of fusing adjacent vertebrae includes the step of inserting an implant between adjacent vertebrae with retention members. The method also includes the step of configuring the retention members wherein a portion of each tang of a retention member simultaneously extends from the implant into one of the adjacent vertebra.

The present invention provides a method of bone regeneration for repairing a bone defect in a subject in need thereof. The method comprises the use of blood aspirate of the mandible bone marrow with the use of xenogen bone support.

Placement apparatus and methods of use for impanation of spacers within an inter-vertebral disc space. In one embodiment, the load-bearing superstructure of the implant is subdivided and the bone forming material is positioned within an internal space of the placement instrument but external to the load bearing elements themselves. At least a portion of the bone graft material is freely contained within the disc space. A method of using the device is also described. In one embodiment, the placement device is used to place the implantable spacers at opposing ends of the disc space using a directly lateral surgical approach.

A mesh implant and/or container may be used as an intervertebral implant. The mesh implant may be anchored or otherwise fixed to the vertebral endplates to prevent the implant from migrating forward and out anteriorly to the spinal column. The mesh implant may be knitted with a rip stop, elastic or other stich pattern to prevent unraveling or tearing.
