An anchor device for attaching suture material to bone includes a body portion having a first end and a second end. The body portion includes a trabecular mesh core that at least partially defines a central bore between the first end and the second end. The trabecular mesh core includes a plurality of openings configured to receive/allow/facilitate bone growth through the trabecular mesh core. The body portion also includes at least one thread extending spirally along an exterior of the trabecular mesh core. The anchor device further includes a post at least partially positioned within the central bore and rotatably coupled to the body portion, wherein the post comprises a fork extending from the second end of the body portion and configured to attach soft tissue to the bone using the suture material. The body portion and the post are additively manufactured from a biocompatible material.

A surgical screw is provided for use in fixing or fusing bone. The screw may include each of an inner and an outer helical thread that extends along its length. The geometries of the helices and the relationship between the inner thread and the outer thread may improve the performance of the screw. For example, the two helices may operate to improve the manner in which the screw can be strained.

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.

Compression devices for joining tissue and methods for using and fabricating the same.

A screw implant is provided for the distraction, fusion, or compression of two adjacent bone structures or two adjacent bone fragments. The implant is a fully threaded screw with a headless proximal end having a drive engagement feature and a blunt distal end for insertion into bone or related tissue. The implant has roughened and porous surfaces throughout and is fully coated with hydroxyapatite and/or tri-calcium phosphate to allow for bone in-growth. The implant may have uniform low pitch cortical threads, or variable pitch threads, with low pitch cortical threads on one end and larger pitch cancellous threads on the other end. The implant may be used for the distraction of spinal vertebrae. The implants may have a cannulation channel and fenestrations.

A system for performing a minimally invasive sacroiliac joint fusion. The system may be in the form of a disposable kit, with the components streamlined so that the procedure can be performed in a few minutes. The screw components are self-drilling and self-tapping. The system may deploy blades through the walls of the primary screw which cut away material as the primary screw is set, for denuding the sacroiliac joint. The primary screw is designed bore through and internalize bone tissue in an autografting process. The implant system may include components for packing bone grafting material into the screw to supplement autograft bone tissue internalized in the primary screw during placement. At least one side screw is passed through a head of the primary screw to anchor the head and prevent it from backing out after implantation.

Spinal bone anchor attachment device for improving the attachment of a bone screw to skeletal portions of a patient, the device reducing the risk of screw failure, and improving patient outcomes. The device is composed of a biomaterial compatible with bone and provides an enhanced surface area on outer surfaces of the device for engaging the bone, and an enhanced surface area within the device for engaging the bone screw. The device may also have a guiding slanted tip with a bias element for facilitating the placement of the device into bone tissue and rescuing an improper tract. The device may further be used to secure the placement of pedicle screws, and as a component of an intervertebral stabilization system commonly used in spinal fusion surgeries.

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.
