Methods of deploying an intravertebral implant having an expandable anterior part, a posterior part coupled to the expandable anterior part, and a pedicle fixation element. The expandable anterior part is positioned within the vertebral body, and the posterior part may be positioned within the vertebral body. The pedicle fixation element is anchored to the vertebral body. The expandable anterior part is moved relative to the pedicle fixation element, for example, in two degrees of freedom. Movement in a first of the two degrees of freedom is independent from movement in a second of the two degrees of freedom. The expandable anterior part may be translated without being rotated along a main axis of the pedicle fixation element. Filling material may be injected through the posterior part. Rotational movements of the expandable anterior part relative to the pedicle fixation element may be locked.

Photodynamic devices for replacement of an articular head of a bone are provided. In an embodiment, a photodynamic device includes a photodynamic support member and an articular member attachable, either fixedly or removably, to the photodynamic support member and having a bearing surface. In an embodiment, the articular member includes a recess designed to receive the photodynamic support member. In an embodiment, the photodynamic support member includes an opening into which a shaft of the articular member can be inserted to attach the articular member to the photodynamic support member.

Medical devices used for the treatment of disease, monitoring of physiological properties and the correction of deformities and/or degenerative conditions including integrated sensors providing physiological parameters to assist in assessing healing and the clinical management of patients. Including methods of production of said medical devices.

An expandable implant includes a top support assembly defining an upper surface configured to engage a first portion of bone, a first central aperture extending from the upper surface to an interior of the implant, and a first grid structure surrounding the first central aperture; a bottom support assembly defining a lower surface configured to engage a second portion of bone, a second central aperture extending from the lower surface to the interior, and a second grid structure surrounding the second central aperture; and a control assembly coupled to the top support assembly and the bottom support assembly and configured to control relative movement between the top support assembly and the bottom support assembly between a collapsed position and an expanded position.

A surgical implant device configured to adjust in planar orientation or angular orientation or both to correspond to the structure of the lamina to be spanned at the site of a cut of the laminoplasty surgery. The device includes a base having slots extending adjacent thereto, and an extension having a head configured to be adjustably positionable within the slots.

A system configured to increase height of a vertebral body. An implant includes plates each defining a bearing surface configured to be moved away from one another to expand the implant within the vertebral body. Supports are each coupled to one of the plates and include a reduced thickness portion defining a material web configured to plastically deform during expansion of the implant. The system includes an implant carrier with which an end element of the implant is removably coupled, and a rod configured to be translated relative to the implant carrier to cause expansion of the implant. An opposed portion may be coupled to the supports and configured to receive a longitudinal force to be moved relative to the end element. Second supports may be each coupled to the end element and one of the plates. Each of the second supports may plastically deform during expansion of the implant.

An integrated targeted kyphoplasty system includes a piercing head, a tube body and a tube body handle. The tube body has an end connected to the piercing head and is provided with a balloon and a guider at an end of the balloon, and another end connected to the tube body handle and provided with a guide knob for controlling the guider to be bent and a pressure pump connector communicating the balloon. The piercing head is provided with a cement outlet, a cement channel is in center of the tube body, and the tube body handle is provided with a cement inlet. The cement outlet, cement channel and cement inlet communicate with each other. The device requires for only one piercing to complete entire KP surgical treatment without changing any tools, greatly decreasing radiation exposure rate of the patient during operation and the pain caused by multiple operations.

In an embodiment, a photodynamic device includes a photodynamic support member and an articular member attachable, either fixedly or removably, to the photodynamic support member and having a bearing surface. In an embodiment, the articular member includes a recess designed to receive the photodynamic support member. In an embodiment, the photodynamic support member includes an opening into which a shaft of the articular member can be inserted to attach the articular member to the photodynamic support member.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to an adjustable implant configured to be implanted into a patient that includes an adjustable portion moveable relative to a housing. The adjustable implant may include various smart components for enhancing operation of the implant. Smart components may include a controller for managing operations and a transducer for communicating ultrasound data with an external interface device. Additional smart components may include a load cell within the housing for measuring an imparted load; a sensor for measuring angular position of the adjustable portion; a dual sensor arrangement for measuring imparted forces; a reed switch; a half piezo transducer; and an energy harvester.

An expandable implant for bone restoration. The implant includes a first end element and a second end element. A plate is expandable in a first direction, and a blade expandable in a second direction. A first interconnecting element extends between the plate and at least one of the first and second end elements. A second interconnecting element extends between the blade and at least one of the first and second end elements. When the implant is in a collapsed position, a length of the blade is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis, and when the blade is in an expanded position, the length of the blade is non-parallel to the longitudinal axis. The blade may include a length extending from a base to a tip, and the tip of the blade is further from the longitudinal axis than the plate when the implant is in the expanded position.
