The present invention discloses a device for stabilization of bone segment and an extending assembly thereof. The device comprises a screw assembly, two supporting members and two extending members. The screw assembly comprises a receiver and an anchoring member. The receiver has a retainer and two opposite arms extending along the longitudinal axis of the device from the positions adjacent to the retainer. The anchoring member is connected to the retainer. The supporting members are connected to the arms respectively and extend along the longitudinal axis. Each one of the extending members has a through hole respectively. The extending members are connected to the arms with the supporting members passing through the through holes respectively.

A device configured to provide a faster and more accurate measurement of depths of holes for placement of bone screws and fastener for bone implant fixation procedures. The device includes a combination of a bone probe for physical examination of a hole drilled in a bone and a depth gauge member for determining a depth of the hole and providing digital measurement of the depth via a display on the instrument and/or via a wireless exchange of measurement data to a remote computing device, such as a tablet or smartphone. The device may further be connected to a separate neuromonitoring device and be used for nerve sensing and/or nerve stimulation by way of the bone probe. For example, the bone probe may include a conductive material such that the distal probe tip acts as an extension of the neuromonitoring device and may be used to sense and/or stimulate nerves.

A surgical system includes a robotic device, and a surgical tool coupled to the robotic device and comprising a distal end. The system further includes a neural monitor configured to generate an electrical signal and apply the electrical signal to the distal end of the surgical tool, wherein the electrical signal causes innervation of a first portion of a patient's anatomy which generates an electromyographic signal, and a sensor configured to measure the electromyographic signal. The neural monitor is configured to determine a distance between the distal end of the surgical tool and a portion of nervous tissue based on the electrical signal and the electromyographic signal, and cause feedback to be provided to a user based on the distance.

The invention relates to an assembly for use in minimally invasive surgical procedures, including bone implant fixation procedures. The assembly is configured to provide a faster and more accurate measurement of depth of holes for placement of bone screws and fasteners. The assembly includes a guidewire having a deployable distal hook member configured to securely anchor into a desired position relative to a hole drilled in a bone and thereby provide an accurate datum for a measuring instrument for determining a depth of the hole for subsequent screw placement. The assembly further includes a surgical depth instrument to cooperatively function with the guidewire and obtain one or more measurements while operably coupled to the guidewire.

A surgical spinal screw apparatus configured to facilitate safer spinal surgery and reconstruction via a pivoting tip. The apparatus is equipped with a tip which is configured to pivot about a pivot point which facilitates minor redirection of the apparatus when driven through bone such as a vertebra. The apparatus is geared towards finding a path of least resistance through the bone. As such, the tip is configured to pivot towards less dense pockets of bone as the screw is placed during surgery. A pedicle finder, a companion apparatus, is configured to facilitate placement of the spinal screw, and is similarly equipped with a pivoting tip. The spinal screw is threaded and is equipped with a hollow core to facilitate the passage of a guide wire to assist in placement and tension of the pivoting tip as needed.

According to one embodiment, a medical insertion apparatus includes a screw nail body inserted into a human body and an electrode which is provided in the screw nail body and includes an externally exposed portion. Here, a through hole may be formed in the screw nail body or the electrode. According to one embodiment, a medical insertion apparatus includes a screw nail body inserted into a human body and an electrode which is provided in the screw nail body and exposed outside the screw nail body. Here, the screw nail body and the electrode may be provided as a combinable or separable structure. According to one embodiment, a medical insertion apparatus includes a screw nail body inserted into a human body, a driver engaged with the screw nail body to tighten or loosen the screw nail body, and a conductor portion which may be provided in the screw nail body or the driver and may include an externally exposed portion.

A pedicle breach detection device is disclosed. When a pilot hole is created during spinal fusion surgery to facilitate placement of a pedicle screw, it is important to determine if the created hole or tract has breached the vertebrae. A breach can be dangerous to the patient and cause pain, permanent damage, and the necessity for revision surgery. The present invention uses an accelerometer based shaft and ball tip to capture low level mechanical vibrations from the shaft to provide a definitive breach alert to the surgeon using audible, visual, tactile and haptic alert de vices.

An assembly includes a surgical device (10) including a distal interface member (12) and a proximal handle (14), the distal interface member (12) including a connecting element (16) for connecting to a surgical tool (18), and a K-wire (20) that passes through a central passageway of the surgical device (10) distally through the distal interface member (12) into a lumen of the surgical tool (18). A wire depth measurement tool (30) includes a handle interface member (32) that assembles to the handle (14) and one or more graduated scales (36) that extend proximally from the handle interface member (32). The graduated scales (36) include depth graduations for indicating an amount a tip of the K-wire (20) protrudes from a distal end of the surgical tool (18).
