The clamping device comprises two clamping rods (4) which are fit with each other, and a front end of each clamping rod (4) is provided with a clamping head (41), wherein each of face-to-face sides of the clamping heads (41) is provided with a limiting protrusion (42), a front end of each clamping head (41) is capable of being inserted into the limiting groove (12) of the fusion cage body (1), and the limiting protrusion (42) is capable of being clamped at a front side surface of the screw plate (2). The fusion cage and the clamping device can easily fit with each other and are convenient to use, so as to enable the surgical operation to be more convenient, accurate and safe.

A implant delivery system for securing an implant to an anchor. The implant delivery system includes a driver including a shaft, a biasing body having a first end region configured to engage said driver and a second end region configured to engage a portion of an implant, and a suture extending between the anchor and the shaft of the driver. The driver may be rotated to reduce the length of the suture between the driver and the anchor and generate a biasing force urging the implant into engagement with the anchor. The biasing force is substantially not transmitted to the bone.

A prosthetic intervertebral disc joint assembly for replacing at least a portion of an intervertebral disc between first and second adjacent vertebrae comprising: a first component 20, 120 for engaging a first vertebra, the first component having an intervertebral portion 20a, 120a insertable between adjacent vertebrae and having a bone-engaging side for engaging an endplate of the first vertebra and an inner side opposite the bone-engaging side, the inner side of the intervertebral portion 20a, 120a having an articulating surface 22, 122 comprising a generally convex surface; a second component 30, 130 for engaging a second vertebra, the second component having an intervertebral portion 30a, 130a insertable between adjacent vertebrae and having a bone-engaging side for engaging an endplate of the second vertebra and an inner side opposite the bone-engaging side, the inner side of the intervertebral portion 30a, 130a having an articulating surface 32, 132 comprising a generally concave surface; wherein the convex articulating surface 22, 122 of the first component is sized and shaped to pivot in the concave articulating surface 32, 132 of the second component, and wherein the first component 20, 120 further comprises a fixation portion 20b, 120b for securing the first component to the anterior side of the first vertebra, said fixation portion 20b, 120b extending from the trailing end of the intervertebral portion 20a, 120a of the first component and wherein the second component 30, 130 further comprises a fixation portion 30b, 130b for securing the second component to the anterior side of the second vertebra, said fixation portion 30b, 130b extending from the trailing end of the intervertebral portion 30a, 130a of the second component.

An implant for shoulder arthroplasty includes a stem and optionally a head component or a cup component. The stem is sized and shaped to fit into an intramedullary canal of the humerus. The proximal portion of the stem has a concave taper and the distal portion of the stem has a taper. The distal taper includes an anterior-posterior taper and a medial-lateral taper. The shape of the stem loads the metaphysis of the humerus with a greater load than the load applied to the diaphysis of the humerus.

An intersomatic cage, an intervertebral prosthesis, an anchoring device and an instrument for implantation of the cage or the prosthesis and the anchoring device are provided. An intersomatic cage or an intervertebral prosthesis fit closely to the anchoring device, which includes a body of elongated shape on a longitudinal axis, of curved shape describing, along the longitudinal axis, an arc whose dimensions and radius of curvature are designed in such a manner that the anchoring device may be implanted in the vertebral plate of a vertebra by presenting its longitudinal axis substantially along the plane of the intervertebral space, where the anchoring device is inserted, by means of the instrument, through a slot located in at least one peripheral wall of the cage or on at least one plate of the intervertebral disc prosthesis to penetrate into at least one vertebral plate.

A system for spinal surgery includes a prosthesis comprising a plurality of bone anchors which engage an intervertebral construct for fusion or motion preservation. The fusion construct comprises a spacer optionally encircled by a jacket. The motion preservation construct may comprise an articulating disc assembly or an elastomeric disc assembly. Any of the constructs may occupy the intervertebral disc space between adjacent vertebrae after removal of an intervertebral disc. The anchors slidingly engage the construct to securely fix the prosthesis to the vertebrae. The anchors and jacket of the fusion construct provide a continuous load path across opposite sides of the prosthesis so as to resist antagonistic motions of the spine.
