An anchoring device (40) for anchoring one or more sub-laminar bands or tapes (60a, 60b) to a pedicle screw (30), the device (40) comprising: a first portion (41) configured for attachment to at least a base portion (32 L) of a head portion (32) of the pedicle screw (32); and at least one second portion (46a, 46b) for anchoring thereto a or a respective sub-laminar band or tape (60a, 60b); wherein the first portion (41) includes first interengagement means (42Na, 42 Nb) for interengagement with corresponding notches or recesses (32Na, 32 Nb) in the head portion (32) of the pedicle screw (32) to effect the said attachment of the first portion (41) of the anchoring device (40) thereto.

The present invention relates to stable fixation of spine segments, allowing for fusion in, e.g., skeletally mature patients. More particularly, the invention relates to a bone fixation device that can be affixed to vertebrae of a spine to provide reduction (or enlargement) capabilities and allow for fixation in the treatment of various conditions, including, e.g., spondyloslisthesis, degenerative disc disease, fracture, dislocation, spinal tumor, failed previous fusion, and the like, in the spine. The invention also relates to a method for delivering and implanting the bone fixation device.

A locking clip for retaining a fastener in a bone fixation plate, the locking clip comprising a flexure member and a body member coupled to the flexure member, the body member comprising a locking tab, the locking tab configured to provide an axial limitation to motion of the fastener in a non-rotationally-ratcheting manner, the flexure member resiliently flexible to permit displacement of the locking tab to allow passage of a fastener head of the fastener, the locking tab configured to translate a downward force of the fastener head into a lateral spreading force to effect the displacement, the body member defining a clip tool engagement cavity for translational displacement of the locking tab.

Devices, systems, and methods of bone stabilization. The bone stabilization system includes a bone plate having an upper surface and a lower surface configured to be in contact with bone, the bone plate having an opening extending from the upper surface to the lower surface. The opening is configured to receive a fastener, which may be either a locking fastener or a compression fastener. The locking fastener has a threaded head portion configured to engage and lock to the bone plate, and the compression fastener is configured to dynamically compress the bone.

The present invention relates to a bone anchoring device including a plate configured to be attached to a fractured bone and having a plurality of fastening holes to support the fractured bone, in which at least one of the fastening holes is formed in a rectangular shape having an opening portion elongated in a longitudinal direction, a clip configured to be inserted into the rectangular fastening hole and capable of slipping in the longitudinal direction in the rectangular fastening hole, and an anchoring screw configured to be fastened into the clip and fastened into the bone. According to the present invention, it is possible to adjust a position and insertion angle of the bone anchoring screw and improve compatibility between bone anchoring components.

A fastener for use with a bone plate having a spring loaded fastener locking clip includes a cylindrical head portion having an outer periphery and defining a longitudinal axis, a threaded body portion configured for insertion through a fastener receiving aperture of the bone plate, an annular shoulder formed between the cylindrical head portion and the threaded body portion, the annular shoulder having an outer periphery, and at least one anti-rotation flange extending between the outer periphery of the cylindrical head portion and the outer periphery of the annular shoulder.

Disclosed is an osteosynthesis device including at least one fixation pin suitable for being implanted in a bone material so as to ensure an at least partial reduction of a bone fracture, which osteosynthesis device includes a locking unit designed to lock in position the fixation pin implanted in the bone material. The locking unit can include: a support structure provided with a unit that enables its fixing on the bone material, and including a locking aperture suitable for being passed through by the fixation pin; and a clamping designed to be fitted in the locking aperture and to come into abutment against a part of the fixation pin in order to ensure its locking in position.

An angled fixation device, such as an angled screw. This angled fixation device may be used by the surgeon to secure a spacer to a spinal disc space. The proximal end portion of the angled fixation device is driven perpendicular to the anterior wall of the spacer, and so is parallel to the vertebral endplates and in-line with the inserter. The distal end portion of the angled fixation device is oriented at about a 45 degree angle (plus or minus 30 degrees) to the vertebral endplate it enters.

An orthopedic plate comprising a frame portion having a longitudinal body defining a longitudinal axis. The longitudinal body having at least one side arm extending from the longitudinal body transverse to the longitudinal axis. The frame portion also having a bearing rotatably coupled with the at least one side arm, wherein the bearing defines an opening configured to receive a fastener for fastening the orthopedic plate to a body. The bearing includes an outer surface that is eccentric to the opening such that a position of the opening with respect to the frame portion is adjustable as the bearing rotates.
