A spine implant for use in spinal facet joint fixation or to connect distracted portions of a vertebral lamina in a laminoplasty through use or non-use of a spacer. One or two bone screw plates are angularly adjustable relative to a base plate for attachment by bone screws to vertebral bone. One form of the spine implant has a base plate, a first plate pivotally connected to the base plate for angular adjustment relative to the base plate and configured to hold one or two bone screws for attaching the first plate to first vertebral bone, and a second plate configured to hold two bone screws for attaching the second plate to second vertebral bone. The second plate may be pivotally connected to the body for angular adjustment of the second plate relative to the base plate or fixed to the base plate at a predetermined angle.

An innovative dome toe resurfacing system for performing metatarsophalangeal joint replacement is disclosed. The present invention comprises a prosthetic implant for metatarsophalangeal joint, and one or more cone extensions that covers portions of the prosthesis that extends into the metatarsal bone and phalanx bone. The cone extensions include a plurality of ridges that will catch bone on insertion and provide a press fit. The present invention also includes a cone and cup reaming system wherein one or more reamers will ream a cone/cup shape for the articular surfaces, and prepare the metatarsal and phalangeal canals for the insertion of the cone extensions. The cone extensions have ends that fit the reamed cone/cup shape wherein the cone/cup shape resembles the natural anatomy of articular surfaces of metatarsophalangeal joint.

Provided is an expandable lumbar cage including an upper member, a lower member, a sagittal adjustment unit to adjust sagittal balance of a spine, and a coronal adjustment unit to adjust coronal balance of the spine. According to the foregoing description, it is possible to simultaneously adjust the sagittal balance of the spine as well as the coronal balance, thereby achieving effective treatment of the spine having compound deformity.

A system for performing interbody fusion surgery including an expandable intervertebral spacer and specialized instruments for choosing the correct size of implant, implanting the device within the intervertebral space, and for delivery of bone graft or bone substitute to the interior of the implant.

A steerable expandable implant having a lower support member and an upper support member, the upper support member movable relative to the lower support member between a collapsed position and an expanded position. The implant also includes a first control member coupled to the lower support member, where manipulation of the first control member causes the lower support member to move relative to the upper support member. The implant further includes a pivot member configured to receive a tool, the tool and the pivot member rotatable relative to the lower support member between a first position and a second position, where the pivot member includes an aperture and an axis of the aperture is angularly offset from an axis of the first control member in the first position and the axis of the aperture is angularly aligned with the axis of the first control member in the second position.

This present subject disclosure provides a novel implant which is readily adjustable to provide a precise angle of lordosis. The implant may be positioned while in low profile, collapsed geometry, and may be expanded when in place to provide a precise angle of lordosis.

Expandable spinal fusion devices, systems, and methods of using them are provided, and they can be inserted in a subject in a collapsed state through a small surgical corridor, and the expand cephalocaudal only, transverse only, or in both directions, in which direction of expansion can also be obtained independently, if desired, after the insertion. These inventions are valuable in reducing risk and surgical complexity, allowing for an on-the-fly selection of a desirable width footprint, a desired control of height expansion through a gradual cephalocaudal expansion, and a desired control of the alignment of the adjacent vertebral bodies. Devices, systems, and methods are also offered to provide a desired control of the contact area desired between the device and the upper and lower vertebral endplates achieved, for example, using an interdigitated endplate system.

A spinal implant includes a chassis extending along a first axis and including a first thread. A first member extends along a second axis and is pivotably coupled to the chassis. A second member extends along a third axis between and is pivotably coupled to the chassis. A rack includes opposite top and bottom surfaces. A first spur is coupled to the first member such that the first spur engages the top surface. A second spur is coupled to the second member such that the second spur engages the bottom surface. An actuator includes second thread that engages the first thread such that rotation of the actuator move the implant between a first orientation in which the second and third axes extend parallel to the first axis and a second orientation in which the second and third axes extends at an acute angle relative to the first axis.

A knee joint structure includes a knee joint head portion, a knee-joint body portion, and at least one curved plate. The knee joint head portion includes a position-returning device made up of a piston, an elastic body, and an adjustment cap and a transmission axle. The transmission axle includes a push-bar axle, which is pivotally coupled to a push bar operable to drive and move the piston. The knee-joint body portion includes a connection rod pivotally connected to the knee joint head portion. The curved plate connects the transmission axle and the knee joint body portion.

Intradiscal implants, systems, and methods thereof. The intradiscal system may include an expandable implant and one or more intradiscal implants. The intradiscal implants may be supplemental to or integrated with the expandable implant. The intradiscal implant may include one or more flexible anchors with a straight configuration and a curved configuration. The anchor may be bendable, for example, using a shape-memory material.
