The present application is generally directed to vertebral implants and implant trials for use with vertebral implant assemblies. The vertebral implants and implant trials may be used in conjunction with corpectomy procedures. One type of vertebral implant is a corpectomy device having a polyaxial endplate assembly. The polyaxial endplate assembly includes an articulatable plate member that is capable of angulation. The articulatable plate member can be fixed in place by, for example, using a clamping assembly to fix the articulatable plate member.

Methods for supporting a prosthetic implant in a patient are disclosed. In some embodiments, a hollow sleeve and a prosthetic implant with a stem component are implanted in a cavity in an end of a bone where the hollow sleeve provides an axial channel that extends through the length of the hollow sleeve for receiving the stem component. In some embodiments, the hollow sleeve is capable of being impacted into the cavity for obtaining a press fit of the hollow sleeve in the cavity. In some embodiments, the hollow sleeve is formed with a porous material.

Embodiments herein are generally directed to vertebral implants and implant trials for use with vertebral implant assemblies. In some embodiments, these implants and implant trials may be used in conjunction with corpectomy procedures.

An interspinous posterior device (IPD) is described. The IPD has a body and bone fixation elements on either side of the body, each of said bone fixation elements having a ratchet locking mechanism for fixing the body to successive spinous processes of a mammalian vertebra. Each of the bone fixation elements is independently adjustable by ratcheting it separately and independently of the other bone fixation elements. The body of the IPD has a dynamic configuration and a non-dynamic configuration, wherein the dynamic configuration allows for both extension and flexion of the successive spinous processes and the non-dynamic configuration prohibits extension of the successive spinous processes. The IPD also includes a removable extension restriction block, wherein the extension restriction block can optionally be inserted in the body to prohibit extension or can be removed from the body to allow extension.
