A sacroiliac joint fusion screw and associated delivery tools and method. Embodiments of the sacroiliac joint fusion screw comprise a shaft having proximal and distal end portions and a head on the proximal end of the shaft. A threaded portion on a distal portion of the shaft is configured to engage a sacrum. A glide zone portion on the shaft between the threaded portion and the proximal end portion is configured to extend through an ilium. The screw can provide stability and compression to the joint.

A method for treating arthritis of a joint includes identifying a bone lesion in a bone adjacent to the joint; and implanting in the bone a reinforcing member in or adjacent to the bone lesion. A kit for conducting the method includes: (a) at least one reinforcing member having a proximal face adapted to face the joint, a distal face adapted to face away from the joint, and a wedge-shaped edge adapted to pierce bone, wherein the at least one reinforcing member is planar and sterile; and (b) a container adapted to maintain the at least one reinforcing member sterile. Another kit includes: (a) a sterile fluid; (b) a syringe for injecting the fluid into a bone; (c) a curing agent adapted to cure the fluid to polymerize and/or cross-link; and (d) a container adapted to maintain the sterility of contents of the container.

The present invention relates to an apparatus, system and method for delivery of bone graft material in a patient's spine. The graft delivery device according to various embodiments delivers and disperses biologic material to a disc space and without withdrawal from the surgical site. In one embodiment, the graft delivery device includes a plunger with a distal end configured to bend relative to a longitudinal axis as bone graft material is delivery to the disc space. The plunger can include two arms that extend generally parallel to the longitudinal axis. The graft delivery device may selectively deliver a fusion cage for deposit to the same disc space.

The present disclosure illustrates an osteotome for treating hard tissue and methods of use. The osteotome embodiments described herein include a shaft with a working end configured to displace hard tissue and a lumen to deliver material through the shaft. The working end may create pathways by selectively transitioning from a linear to a non-linear configuration. The lumen may deliver material through the shaft while the working end is in a linear or a non-linear configuration allowing precise filling of the pathways.

A bone fragment and osteomedullary tissue harvesting system that includes a harvesting device, a collection vessel and tubing. The harvesting device includes a needle portion and a handle portion. The needle portion that has a needle bore that extends through at least part of the needle portion. The handle portion is operably attached to the needle portion. The handle portion includes a connection port and a vacuum control mechanism that are in communication with a handle bore that extends through the handle portion. The needle bore is in communication with the handle bore. The vacuum control mechanism includes a vacuum aperture that extends through a surface of the handle portion and is in communication with the handle bore. The collection vessel is capable of receiving aspirated bone fragments and tissue. The tubing operably connects the connection port and the collection vessel.

Attachment devices and methods of using the same are disclosed. The attachment devices can be fenestrated. The fenestrations can control the flow of fluid out of and/or into the device.

A spinal joint distraction system for treating a facet joint including articular surfaces having a contour is disclosed and may include a delivery device including a generally tubular structure adapted to engage a facet joint, an implant adapted to be delivered through the delivery device and into the facet joint, the implant comprising two members arranged in opposed position, and an implant distractor comprising a generally elongate member adapted to advance between the two members of the implant causing separation of the members and distraction of the facet joint, wherein the implant is adapted to conform to the shape of the implant distractor and/or the articular surfaces of the facet upon being delivered to the facet joint. Several embodiments of a system, several embodiments of an implant, and several methods are disclosed including a method for interbody fusion.

A bone graft delivery system can include an elongate tube, a handle having a trigger, and a tip. The trigger is actuated to deliver bone graft material through the tube. The tip has one or more openings to deliver the bone graft material to a desired location and includes a surface suitable to act as a rasp for decorticating bone. A method for delivering bone graft material to a desired surgical location includes providing a bone graft delivery device, positioning the device adjacent the surgical location, decorticating bone, and delivering bone graft material to the surgical location.

A bone graft delivery kit includes a hollow tube having a proximal end and a distal end, an implant and a plunger. The hollow tube is configured to be connected to the implant, and to convey bone graft material to a graft receiving area in a patient. The plunger is configured to facilitate moving the bone graft material through the hollow tube. The implant includes openings configured for passage of the bone graft material therethrough, and internal ramps configured to direct the bone graft material to the openings.

A surgical robotic system includes a robotic arm, an injection needle supported by the robotic arm, a localization system, an imaging system, at least one control unit. The at least one control unit is configured to perform at least one controlled loop carried out after a dispense of cement with the injection needle, in the region of interest of a patient. This controlled loop includes imaging the region of interest, with the imaging system, to provide an updated set of imaging data; using at least partially the updated set of imaging data to calculate an updated set of injection parameters; and using at least one parameter of the updated set of injection parameters to control the dispense of cement through the injection needle. Also disclosed is a method for controlling a surgical robotic system.
