Bone stabilizing implants and methods of placement across SI Joints

Threaded sacro-iliac joint stabilization (e.g., fusion, fixation) implants and methods of implantation and manufacture. Some implants include a threaded distal region, an optionally threaded central region, and an optionally threaded proximal region. The distal, central, and proximal regions have lengths such that when the implant is laterally implanted across a SI joint, the distal region can be positioned in a sacrum, the central region can be positioned across an SI-joint, and the proximal region can be positioned in an ilium.

Endoprosthesis for knee arthrodesis

An endoprosthesis for knee joint arthrodesis having a femur portion including a femur attachment structure; a tibia portion including a tibia attachment structure; a coupling section formed on the femur portion and a coupling section formed on the tibia portion. The coupling sections are pivotably connected to one another about a prosthesis pivot axis that extends in the installed position of the endoprosthesis horizontally from medial to lateral. A locking element is moveable between locking and release positions. In the locking position the locking element rigidly locks the coupling sections in a predefinable pivot position. In the release position the coupling sections are pivotable relative to one another about the prosthesis pivot axis. A retaining and return means and an unlocking mechanism are provided. The retaining means forces the locking element into the locking position. The unlocking mechanism moves the locking element into the release position.

EXPANDABLE, ADJUSTABLE INTER-BODY FUSION DEVICES AND METHODS
20170333198 · 2017-11-23 ·

An expandable, adjustable inter-body fusion device is presented. The inter-body fusion device can have a first plate, a second plate, and an insert positioned substantially there between the first plate and the second plate. The first plate, the second plate, and the insert define an interior cavity. Moving the insert longitudinally with respect to the first and second plates increases or decreases the distance of the first plate with respect to the second plate, effectively expanding the inter-body fusion device and increasing the volume of the interior cavity. The angle between the first plate and the second plate is selectively adjustable.

Integrated electromagnetic implant guidance systems and methods of use for sacroiliac joint fusion

A system for fixating a dysfunctional sacroiliac joint for SI joint fusion, the system including a sacroiliac joint implant, a sacroiliac joint screw or rod and a delivery tool configured for approaching a sacroiliac joint. The system may include an implant having a porous 3D matrix structure and may be manufactured by laser or electron beam additive manufacturing. The delivery tool may include a radiolucent material. The SI fusion system may further include custom sacroiliac joint implants, anchors, alignment tools or targeting arms manufactured for a particular patient. Pre-surgical imaging studies, including 3D rendering, and their interpretation may assist in planning desired trajectories, anchor dimensions and implant dimensions and may provide details specific to the manufacture of particular sacroiliac joint tools or implants and their implantation into the sacroiliac joint. The system may be configured for use with surgical robots and may include an integrated nerve monitoring and stimulation system.

BONE FUSION SYSTEM
20230165593 · 2023-06-01 ·

A bone fusion system including a collection vessel, an abrading and harvesting device, tubing and a probe. The abrading and harvesting device includes a needle portion and a sharpened tip. The needle portion has a central bore extending therethrough. The needle portion has a distal end. The sharpened tip is attached to the distal end of the needle portion. The tubing is operably connecting the collection vessel and the abrading and harvesting device. The probe has a threaded portion and a tip portion at a distal end of the threaded portion. The threaded portion has a thread on an outer surface thereof. The tip portion is unsharpened and does not have a thread on an outer surface thereof. The probe is extendible through the central bore.

Surgical Fastener Combination
20230165612 · 2023-06-01 ·

A surgical fastener combination for use in posterior surgeries requiring require fusion between the occiput and pelvis. Among other things, the surgical fastener combination includes first and second cutters.

IMPLANTS FOR SPINAL FIXATION AND OR FUSION

Bone implants, including methods of use and assembly. The bone implants, which are optionally composite implants, generally include a distal anchoring region and a growth region that is proximal to the distal anchoring region. The distal anchoring region can have one or more distal surface features that adapt the distal anchoring region for anchoring into iliac bone. The growth region can have one or more growth features that adapt the growth region to facilitate at least one of bony on-growth, in-growth, or through-growth. The implants may be positioned along a posterior sacral alar-iliac (“SAI”) trajectory. The implants may be coupled to one or more bone stabilizing constructs, such as rod elements thereof.

INTERVERTEBRAL IMPLANT

The present invention provides an intervertebral implant for implantation in a treated area of an intervertebral space between vertebral bodies of a spine. The implant includes a spacer portion having an inferior and superior surface, wherein the inferior and superior surfaces each have a contact area capable of engaging with anatomy in the treated area, and the inferior and superior surfaces define a through-hole extending through the spacer body. The present invention further provides holes extending from a side portion to the inferior and superior surfaces of the spacer portion and a plate portion rigidly coupled to the spacer portion, wherein the plate portion contains holes for receiving screws. A fastener back out prevention mechanism adapted on the plate to prevent the back out of the fasteners from the holes and to secure the spacer to the plate of the intervertebral implant.

FUSION CAGE AND CLAMPING DEVICE THEREOF
