MOTION PRESERVING SYSTEM AND APPARATUS
20250114212 · 2025-04-10 ·

Systems, apparatuses and methods for preserving motion in an intervertebral disc. Modular disc implant segments can be constructed from a relatively rigid material with compressive spring lobes to act similar to an elastomer. The lobes may be configured to have a C-shaped outer wall and one or more spring arms, such as a leaf springs, to facilitate the modular disc implant segment's ability to compress, thereby enabling an entire intervertebral disc constructed from multiple modular disc implant segments to compress with the implant recipient's movement. The implant segments are sized to be inserted serially into a space defined by the annular fibrosus after removal of the nucleus pulposus with connections being made between adjacent segments in the space during the insertion process.

SYSTEMS, COMPOSITIONS, AND METHODS FOR MAKING AND USING IMPLANTS

In some aspects, the present disclosure provides an implant. In some embodiments, the implant comprises a porous body comprising a form that fills a defect of a bone of a head of a subject. In some embodiments, the implant comprises a recess in the porous body, wherein the recess comprises a dimension larger than an average pore dimension of the porous body. In some embodiments, the implant comprises a biologic disposed in the recess. In some embodiments, the implant comprises an extension.
