A joint implant system adapted for use in joint surgeries. Among other things, the joint implant has an anterior cutting edge and a rotatable cutter supported by a rotatable shaft.

A medical instrument has a connector configured for being fixed to a spine support, and a rib support connected to the connector and configured for supporting the rib. The medical instrument has a pair of an upper hook and a lower hook provided on the rib support. One of the upper hook and the lower hook is fixed to the rib support so as to be vertically adjustable. The rib support is connected to the connector to be movable in a direction along the rib.

A clamp assembly for orthopedic use having a housing that includes a top surface, a recess, a distal base and a bottom surface, the recess defining a longitudinal axis and extending through the housing from the top surface through the distal base and toward the bottom surface, and at least two through slots, each one of being disposed at a bottom or a side a surface of the housing. The assembly including a securement assembly positionable within the recess in a co-axial relationship to a mating surface on the recess, and a band sized for travel along a predetermined path defined in part by the through slots in the housing, wherein at least one of the through slots is a starting point for travel of the band along the predetermined path.

Presently disclosed is a spinal implant. In an embodiment, a spinal implant includes a porous body configured to promote bone growth. The porous body may have an attachment portion that is configured to secure the spinal implant to a fixation system attached to one or more vertebra. The porous body may also include a fusion plate extending from the attachment portion and configured to contact transverse processes, lamina, or facet of adjacent vertebrae. Accordingly, when the attachment portion is secured to the fixation system, the fusion plate may be maintained in compression against the transverse processes, lamina, or facet.

A system used for connecting a first implant and a second spinal implant. Among other things, the system includes a connector with a flexible member that allows the connector to be positioned a plurality of angles relative to the first implant.

Methods and devices are disclosed for inhibiting proximal junctional failure in a patient having posterior spinal instrumentation. One or more tension bands can be threaded through transverse bores in a spinous process of a vertebral body of a spine, superior and adjacent an uppermost instrumented vertebral body. Tension is applied to bias the spinous processes together and also in an inferior direction. The tension band is locked with respect to the spine, to maintain tension.

A bone hook apparatus is provided that includes a base, a rod receptacle disposed on a proximal side of the base, a first hook distally extending from the base and oriented in a first direction, and a second hook distally extending from the base and oriented in a second direction opposing the first direction, the first hook and second hook together configured to receive the bone. Kits and spinal constructs employing the bone hook apparatus are also described.
