The present invention discloses a minimally invasive spinal column realignment system and method of use. The spinal column realignment system includes at least two fasteners, a member, an outer sleeve, an inner sleeve, and an instrument. The at least two fasteners are configured for insertion into two adjacent vertebral bodies of a patient. The member is configured to engage the at least two fasteners. The outer sleeve includes a first opening and a second opening and the inner sleeve is configured for insertion through the first opening of the outer sleeve to engage a first fastener of the at least two fasteners and the member. The instrument is configured for insertion through the second opening in the outer sleeve and engagement with the member. A method of using a spinal column realignment system is also disclosed.

An implant system for correcting deformities is provided. The implant system includes A proximal extension having a hollow interior and a distal extension configured to be received within the hollow interior of the proximal extension. The implant system also includes a locking element configured to lock the distal extension from moving with respect to the proximal extension. The distal extension is configured with ratchet teeth on a top surface for interacting with a distractor instrument for contacting or distracting the distal extension with respect to the proximal extension. The proximal extension and distal extension are configured to receive clamping elements for coupling to the implant to anatomical regions of the body.

Spinal correction surgical techniques and methodologies for correction of scoliosis using non fusion anterior scoliosis correction, including soft tissue releases, unique correction techniques such as de-rotation, and unique single and dual anchor screw/cord applications.

Active compression devices, methods of assembly and methods of use are disclosed. A bone fixation device may include a first member, a second member shaped to engage the first member, and at least one deformable member. A bone fusion device including a female member with a proximal and distal end, a male member with a proximal and distal end, and at least one elastic element positioned between the female member and the male member. A bone plating device including a first member, a second member shaped to engage the first member, and at least one deformable member positioned between the first member and the second member. Methods of assembling and using the bone fixation devices, bone fusion devices, and bone plating devices are also disclosed.

Methods for correction of spinal deformities using bone anchors having one or more features configured to actively draw in and/or compact vertebral bone into an inner chamber. In some implementations, a first bone anchor having an inner chamber may be advanced into a first vertebral body of a spinal column. One of more features of the inner chamber may, as the first bone anchor is rotatably or otherwise advanced, actively draw and compact vertebral bone into the inner chamber. A second bone anchor may be advanced into a second vertebral body of the spinal column, after which a tether may be coupled between the first and second bone anchors to apply a corrective force to at least a portion of the spinal column.

Bone anchors and related systems and methods for spinal deformity correction. In some implementations, two adjacent bone anchors may be advanced into respective, adjacent vertebral bodies of a spinal column. Cancellous bone may be compacted within respective inner chambers of the bone anchors. The inner chambers may comprise at least one of a plurality of bone engaging protrusions and a profile that increases in cross-sectional area, at least in part, from a proximal end of the inner chambers to a distal end of the inner chambers. A tether may then be coupled between the first and second bone anchors to apply a corrective force to at least a portion of the spinal column.

A spinal device includes a rod which has a first end disposed in a housing and a second end which protrudes out of the housing through an aperture and which is movable to protrude more out of the housing or less out of the housing. A biasing device, mounted on the rod, includes a series of connected at-least partial coils. A first end of the biasing device is arranged to abut against the housing and a second end of the biasing device, opposite to the first end, is affixed to the rod.

An implantable growing rod assembly adapted to be secured along a length of a spine for treating deformities of the spine. The assembly includes a housing, a fixed rod extending along a longitudinal axis away from the housing, and an expansion rod extendible from the housing along the longitudinal axis. A driver assembly is fixed to the housing and adapted to translate the expansion rod along the longitudinal axis.
