Screw extraction shaft
A bone screw extraction device includes a shaft extending longitudinally from a proximal end to a distal tip, a distal portion of the shaft including a tissue-receiving cavity extending proximally thereinto from the distal tip, the distal tip including a plurality of fingers configured to be received within a driving recess of a bone screw and a plurality of channels extending longitudinally along an exterior surface of the distal portion, each of the plurality of channels extending between adjacent ones of the plurality of fingers.
Lateral insertion spinal implant
The present disclosure relates to a spinal implant. The spinal implant may be used for lateral insertion into an intervertebral disc space. For example, the spinal implant may include a spacer body to which a plate is fixed. The intervertebral spacer body may include a pair of opposite sides having a pyramid-shaped teeth to fuse to bone. The plate defines at least one upper and lower borehole that each receives a screw. Each screw attaches the plate to a vertebral body between which the intervertebral spacer body is inserted. The boreholes may include locking threads that are adapted to lock the screws into place by engaging complementary locking threads of head of the screw.
System and method for altering rotational alignment of bone sections
A rotational correction system includes an implant having first and second sections, the implant having a rotatable permanent magnet disposed in a housing of the first section, the rotatable permanent magnet mechanically connected to a nut operatively coupled to the second section. A keyed portion is interposed between the nut and one or more non-linear grooves disposed on an inner surface of the housing. An external adjustment device having at least one rotatable magnet configured to rotate the rotatable permanent magnet of the implant is part of the system. Rotation of the rotatable permanent magnet of the implant in a first direction effectuates a clockwise change in the rotational orientation of the first section relative to the second section and rotation of the rotatable permanent magnet of the implant in a second direction effectuates a counter-clockwise change in the rotational orientation of the first section relative to the second section.
ANTERIOR CERVICAL PLATE ASSEMBLY
A cervical plate assembly is disclosed. The cervical plate assembly includes a base plate including: (1) at least two bone screw seats, each bone screw seat including a borehole dimensioned to receive a bone screw, and (2) a first blocking seat positioned between the at least two bone screw seats. The cervical plate assembly includes a blocking mechanism retained within the first blocking seat of the base plate. The blocking mechanism is selectively positionable between a closed position in which the blocking mechanism obstructs at least one bone screw seat to retain a bone screw with the base plate, and an open position in which the bone screw seats are unobstructed.
Articulating implant connectors and related methods
Articulating implant connectors and related methods are disclosed herein. Exemplary connectors can include first and second bodies that are rotatable relative to one another about a rotation axis and selectively lockable to resist or prevent such rotation. Each of the bodies can be configured to couple to a rod or other fixation component, and the connector can be used to lock first and second rods together even when the rods are obliquely angled with respect to one another.
SCREW EXTRACTION SHAFT
A bone screw extraction device includes a shaft extending longitudinally from a proximal end to a distal tip, a distal portion of the shaft including a tissue-receiving cavity extending proximally thereinto from the distal tip, the distal tip including a plurality of fingers configured to be received within a driving recess of a bone screw and a plurality of channels extending longitudinally along an exterior surface of the distal portion, each of the plurality of channels extending between adjacent ones of the plurality of fingers.
MULTI-PUTTY BONE HEMOSTATIC AND ADHESIVE COMPOSITIONS FOR USE IN METHODS OF INSTALLING AND SECURING SURGICAL HARDWARE IN BONES
Provided herein are bone hemostatic and adhesive compositions for use in surgical procedures comprising a variety of disclosed particles. Also provided are related compositions, including surgical hardware, surgical kits and packages, as well as methods of making and using the compositions.
Intervertebral implant system for an inline technique with patient in a lateral decubitus position
A surgical implant system includes a surgical implant for securing adjacent vertebrae of a spine to each other. The surgical implant includes a spacer having at least one implant eyelet. The surgical implant system also includes at least one vertebral anchor configured for insertion through the at least one implant eyelet to fasten the surgical implant to the spine. The vertebral anchor has a tip portion, a head portion, an elongate shank extending from the head portion, and an elongate fin extending from the head portion and along a surface of the elongate shank. The elongate shank and the elongate fin form a generally t-shaped cross-section.
Backout Resistant Screw
Disclosed are devices, systems and/or methods for use in the surgical treatment of vertebrae and/or other bones, particularly bone screws having features and/or attributes that allow secure fixation of the device to the bone and prevention and/or inhibition of undesirable loosening and/or “back-out” of the screw body from a targeted surgical site.
SELECTIVELY LOCKING POLYAXIAL SCREW
The present disclosure generally relates to pedicle screws that can selectively lock polyaxial motion of a receiver head with a locking cap. The locking cap can allow locking of the polyaxial motion of the receiver member relative to the spherical head of the bone shank without having a rod placed in the rod slot of the receiver member. This can enable placement of the head of the pedicle screw in a desired position and orientation, locking the head in the desired position and orientation, and performing a maneuver, such as derotation, without a rod in place or any extra motion between the receiver member and the bone shank. In some embodiments, actuation of the locking cap can be achieved by rotating the locking cap relative to the receiver member, where rotation of the locking cap causes corresponding axial translation of the locking cap relative to the receiver member.
