A spinal fusion clamp implant that connects two vertebra, preferably the C1 and C2 vertebra. The clamp implant includes a clamp assembly that connects to the C1 vertebra. The clamp assembly includes at least one superior jaw and at least one inferior jaw. The superior jaw and the inferior jaw are opposedly arranged and clamp onto posterior arch of the C1 vertebra. The clamp implant also includes an implant assembly that connects to the implant used in C2, and a connection system that connects the clamp assembly with said C2 implant assembly.

Fastening devices for bone reconstruction that include a head portion; a centrally located rod having a length, a first end and a second end, the rod extending from the head portion at the first end of the rod; a plurality of threads extending around the centrally located rod; and a plurality of angled fenestrae residing within one or more of the plurality of threads to provide an angled fenestrated fastener for bone reconstruction. Computerized surgical systems, methods and equipment for fully-robotically implanting the angled fenestrated fasteners of the invention into a predetermined (i.e., premapped) bone with complete precision.

A spinal implant including a body having an insert received within a bottom portion of the body, the insert receiving a bone screw at a bottom portion for attachment to a spine, a rod assembly received within a rod slot on a side portion of the body wherein the rod slot does not extend through a top surface of the body, and a locking nut received within a top portion of the body and interlocking with a top portion of the insert. Spinal implant assembly, including multiple spinal implants interconnected through rod assemblies. Method of using a spinal implant by inserting spinal implant at bone structure of a spine, tightening the locking nut, drawing the body upwards, compressing the insert against the bone screw head, and contacting a lower surface of locking nut and rod assembly and compressing rod assembly against the insert, thus locking rod assembly and bone screw.

A spinal construct includes a body having a wall disposed between a first cavity and a second cavity. The second cavity being configured for disposal of an existing spinal implant. A rod is disposed with the first cavity and connectable with tissue. The rod is rotatable relative to the body. Systems, surgical instruments, implants and methods are disclosed.

The present invention discloses single level fusion systems and methods of use. The single level fusion systems include a first fastener, a second fastener, and a connector to secure the first fastener to the second fastener. The method of assembling a single level fusion system including obtaining a first fastener, a second fastener, and a connector, securing the first fastener to the connector, and securing the second fastener to the connector. Methods of using the single level fusion systems are also disclosed.

A receiver assembly includes a receiver with a base defining a central bore for receiving the head of a bone anchor and upright arms defining a channel for receiving a rod, with the central bore having through apertures extending outwardly to outer side surfaces of the receiver and the upright arms having top surfaces, opposite front and back surfaces, vertical tool-engaging slots extending downward from the top surfaces to the through apertures for slidably receiving an insert compression tool, and horizontal tool-engaging grooves on either side of the vertical slots that extend laterally to a front or back surface of the upright arm. The assembly also includes an insert positionable within the central bore with an upward-facing outer engagement surface located within a through aperture and aligned with a vertical tool-engaging slot, and which is configured for compressive engagement by the insert compressing tool to independently lock a position of the receiver with respect to the bone anchor.

A receiver assembly for securing an elongate rod to a bone anchor includes a receiver having a channel configured to receive the elongate rod and a helically wound receiver guide and advancement structure formed into interior surfaces of the receiver. The receiver assembly further includes a threaded plug configured for positioning within the channel to secure the elongate rod to the receiver in a locked configuration, with the threaded plug having a lower axially protruding portion configured to engage the rod so as to lock the rod in the receiver in the locked configuration.

Spinal stabilization implant assemblies, as well as systems, instruments and methods are provided for implanting and stabilizing adjacent vertebra in connection with a surgical procedure, particularly a spinal surgery. The implant assemblies and instruments enable controlled spinal rod insertion and reduction, and controlled rotation or de-rotation of adjacent spinal bones for optimized compression to achieve enhanced sagittal balance in a treated spine.

An implantable stabilization apparatus stabilizes a portion of a skeletal structure of a living patient. The implantable stabilization apparatus includes an elongated fixation rod that includes a plurality of different rod regions having different cross-sectional dimensions are aligned along a longitudinal axis of the fixation rod. A transition region integrally formed as part of a common monolithic structure with the different rod regions is tapered, and separates the different rod regions from each other along the longitudinal axis of the fixation rod. A fastener system couples the elongated fixation rod to the skeletal structure. The fastener system includes an anchor that is to be secured to the skeletal structure, a saddle coupled to the anchor, and a locking member that maintains cooperation between the saddle and the portion of at least one of the different rod regions interfere with separation of the fixation rod from the fastener system.
