Orthopedic derotation devices and methods of installation thereof
Embodiments herein are generally directed to derotation systems, apparatuses, and components thereof that can be used in spinal derotation procedures, as well as methods of installation. The derotation systems may include a plurality of derotation towers and clamp members.
BONE ATTACHMENT ASSEMBLY
A bone attachment assembly may include an attachment head, a set screw configured to attach to the attachment head, and a rod surface with a first raised portion and a second raised portion that define a lowered portion positioned between the first raised portion and the second raised portion. The first raised portion, the second raised portion, and the set screw may be configured to directly contact a rod in order to retain the rod within the attachment head.
Vertebral fixation devices, systems, and methods
Described herein is an orthopedic fixation device for use in spinal surgery. The orthopedic device is a pivoting device that comprises one or more hinges. Fixation of multiple vertebrae is accomplished by fixation at the vertebral facet joints. Multiple devices may be further fixed at multiple vertebral levels with the use of a multi-level rod.
SURGICAL NAVIGATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS
A system, including various apparatus and methods, for surgical navigation is provided. The system is configured to track the spine of a patient by capturing images via one or more cameras. The cameras are configured to capture images of one or more arrays. The system transmits the images to a computer system. The one or more arrays are releasably secured with the spine of the patient, such as by a spine pin or a spine clamp. The system can determine the spatial position and orientation of relevant anatomical features, implants, and instruments using and processing the captured images.
ORTHOPEDIC DEROTATION DEVICES AND METHODS OF INSTALLATION THEREOF
Embodiments herein are generally directed to derotation systems, apparatuses, and components thereof that can be used in spinal derotation procedures, as well as methods of installation. The derotation systems may include a plurality of derotation towers and clamp members.
BONE ANCHOR WITH DEPLOYABLE PURCHASE ELEMENT
A bone anchor is provided for connecting a rod to a bone structure, the bone anchor having a rod housing configured to accommodate the rod; a cavity distal to the rod housing dimensioned to accommodate the bone structure; and a deployable purchase element capable of assuming a deployed position in which the purchase element protrudes into the cavity, and capable of assuming a non-deployed position in which the purchase element does not substantially protrude into the cavity.
SPINAL STABILIZATION ASSEMBLIES WITH BONE HOOKS
A spinal stabilization assembly includes a first hook assembly, a second hook assembly, and a connector member. The first hook assembly has a receiver and a hook member that extends from the receiver. The receiver defines a rod-receiving slot configured to receive a spinal rod. The hook member defines an aperture and includes a hook. The aperture is supported between the rod-receiving slot and the hook. The connector member is secured to the second hook assembly and receivable in the aperture of the first hook assembly to couple the first and second hook assemblies together.
INTERSPINOUS PROCESS SPACER APPARATUS AND METHODS OF USE
An interspinous process spacer includes a main body, a first wing, and a screw. The main body includes a first securing member extending from a top portion of the main body that engages a first vertebra and a bottom portion of the main body that engages a second vertebra. The first wing pivotably couples to a distal portion of the main body and includes a second securing member extending parallel to the first securing member to form a first clamp. The screw is positionable within the main body and includes a distal end that positions the first wing between a first position and a second position. The first clamp includes a first diameter in the first position and a second diameter in the second position.
Screw clamp orthopedic device and methods of implementation
A screw-clamp apparatus is disclosed that includes a first clamp component comprising at least one hook, a second clamp component comprising at least one hook, a bone-screw hole located on the first clamp component, a bone screw configured to be inserted through the bone-screw hole and to be inserted into bone and a spacer-receiver located on the first clamp component. The second clamp component can be pivotably attached relative to the first clamp component. A portion of the bone screw can be configured to engage the second clamp component upon insertion to cause the second clamp component to pivot toward the first clamp component. The spacer-receiver can be configured to secure a spacer.
Method and system for performing interspinous space preparation for receiving an implant
A method and system are provided for preparing an interspinous space to receive an implantable device. The system may comprise a cutting tool guide having a guiding surface for directing a cutting tool therethrough and a holder for positioning the cutting tool guide relative to the interspinous space. The holder may be configured to adjustably attach to at least one of a pair of spinous processes defining the interspinous space.
