Spinal fixation assembly

Disclosed herein are a spinal fixation assembly and method to provide adequate rigidity and support for a vertebral column without requiring additional pedicle screws and spinal rods. The spinal fixation assembly includes a spinal rod loop with multiple sides configured to be attached to a vertebral body with two or more pedicle screws. Each pedicle screw is adapted to fit at various locations along the spinal rod loop.

Polyaxial spine screw rod holder having a second, offset rod holder

A spine fixation assembly has a polyaxial spine screw rod holder for a first spine rod and a second rod holder for a second spine rod, the second rod holder is linked to the polyaxial spine screw rod holder via a connector, the connector extending radially outward from the polyaxial spine screw rod holder such that the second rod holder is spatially separated from and offset relative to the polyaxial spine screw rod holder. The polyaxial spine screw rod holder defines a first rod seat that holds the first spine rod. The first spine rod has a first longitudinal axis. The second rod holder defines a second rod seat that holds a second spine rod. The second rod has a second longitudinal axis. The second rod holder is oriented relative to the polyaxial spine screw rod holder by the connector at an offset (angle).

NON-INVASIVELY ADJUSTABLE SPINAL STABILIZATION DEVICE
20220110660 · 2022-04-14 ·

A spinal stabilization device that can be used to non-invasively correct spacing and curvature between at least two vertebral structures. The spinal stabilization device includes two telescoping tubes wherein ends of the two tubes can have pedicle screws that can be fastened to two or more vertebral bones. The overall length of the spinal stabilization device can be adjusted by moving the inner tube within the outer tube. Both the outer tube and the inner tube have multiple holes for receiving fasteners, wherein a fastener can be inserted through a hole in the outer tube into a hole in the inner tube for interlocking the inner tube and outer tube. The extension of the fastener into the holes and retraction from the holes can be controlled non-invasively from an external source. When the fastener is disengaged, the inner tube and the outer tube can freely move relative to each other, and the positions of the two or more vertebral bones can be non-invasively adjusted by subjecting a person to predefined movements and body posture. Upon achieving the desired positions, the fastener can be engaged to interlock the inner tube and the outer tube.
