An intervertebral disc prosthesis (1) having at least one upper plateau (4, 4′) and at least one lower plateau (5, 5′), which are separated by two movable cores (6, 6′) whose lower face (62, 62′) and upper face (61, 61′) respectively match a concave surface (54, 54′) of the upper plateau (4, 4′) and a convex surface (44, 44′) of the lower plateau (5, 5′). An intervertebral prosthetic unit (10) is also described having an intervertebral disc prosthesis and a posterior articular prosthesis (11) provided with two adjacent and partially tangent articular blades (12, 13), which are each coupled to a vertebra (3, 3′) by coupling devices (14) and are connected by guide devices that allow them to move along a curve whose center C3 is provided on the same side as the implantation of said coupling means.

Disclosed herein are aspects of expandable interbody devices having an unobstructed graft material containment space. Such expandable interbody devices have a structure in which an overall plan view area of the graft material containment space is devoid of elements of the expandable interbody device enabling adjustment of the expandable interbody devices between a collapsed configuration and displaced configuration (e.g., an expanded configuration and/or a tilted configuration). In this manner, expandable interbody devices configured in accordance with embodiments of the disclosures made herein do not have obstructions within the graft material containment space thereof that limit the available volume of graft material and associated bony material growth that may be contained within the graft material containment space.

Accordingly, a broad object of the invention can be to provide an inventive implant to facilitate stabilization while allowing an amount of motion of a sacroiliac joint. Embodiments of the sacroiliac joint implant can provide an elongate body, which can further include at least one fixation member, or a pair of fixation members which extend a distance outward from the longitudinal axis of the implant body adapted for non-transverse placement between the articular surfaces of the sacroiliac joint, and as to certain embodiments can further provide a third fixation member and additionally a fourth fixation member each adapted to extend a distance outward from the elongate body into the bone of the sacrum or the ilium.

A subtalar joint implant (20) is disclosed for replacing a natural subtalar joint existing between the talus (102) and calcaneum (104) bones of a patient. In an embodiment the implant comprises talar (22) and calcaneal (24) portions that are configured to slide over each other in the implanted state. The implant is shaped so that the sliding is constrained to trajectories that involve pivoting of the talar portion relative to the calcaneal portion about a pivot point (36) or a line (38) of pivot points.

Devices and methods for intervertebral spinal fusion of adjacent intervertebral bodies are provided. An intervertebral spacer is positioned within a narrow disc space between adjacent intervertebral bodies of a patient. The spacer is arranged with upper and lower guides. The guides are adapted to simultaneously guide the deployment of upper and lower anchors of an anchoring device into their respective intervertebral bodies. The spacer is also adapted to lock the upper and lower anchors to the spacer in the deployed position.

An intervertebral implant can include a core and a flexible end plate. The core can have a core body that is elongate along a first direction and defines first and second outer surfaces. The flexible end plate can define an inner surface and an opposed bone facing surface that is configured to abut a vertebral body. The flexible end plate can be coupled to the core such that at least a portion of the inner surface faces the first outer surface and is spaced from the first outer surface. The flexible end plate is configured to resiliently flex toward a compressed configuration such that as the flexible end plate flexes toward the compressed configuration, a first end moves relative to the core along the first direction and the portion of the inner surface moves toward the first outer surface.

A method of surgically treating a patient suffering from severe pain and disability of the low back and buttock by stabilizing the patient's spinal column to their pelvis with an implant system including surgical tools and an implant designed to prevent movement between the sacrum and the ilium while being able to attach to a spinal fusion rod which connect to pedicle screws implanted in the bones of the spine of the patient in order to offer lasting relief of the patient's symptoms. The system is designed to address complications in adult spinal deformity by optimizing spinopelvic fixation via-a-vis the unique biomechanics of the SI joint. The sacropelvic system is a surgical solution which provides an additively manufactured implant at the base of the spine employing an S2AI trajectory while utilizing assisting technologies including surgical navigation and intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring.

An interbody fusion device includes a base member, a top member, and an expansion mechanism for moving the top member relative to the base member. The expansion mechanism may include a connector drive rod assembly, a gear, a threaded rod, and a support means. The gear ring is coupled to the threaded rod and is rotatable. The expansion mechanism may also include at least one load head coupled to the threaded rod. An alternative interbody fusion device is also disclosed and includes a bottom member, a superior member, and an expansion mechanism for moving the superior member relative to the base member, wherein the expansion mechanism comprises at least one expansion assembly for moving an end of the superior member relative to the bottom member.

The present disclosure is directed to an expandable medical implant for the repair of cranium defects in adolescent patients. The implants of the present disclosure can include a plurality of interconnected links that are movable with respect to each other as the underlying cranium grows and expands.

The description relates to an expandable intervertebral spacer configured to engage an intervertebral disk. An example expandable spacer includes a main body, a first endplate, a second endplate, a driving member, a plurality of pins, and an actuation member. The expandable spacer is configured to transition from a first configuration to a second configuration by various structures (e.g., steps, faceted surfaces, curved surfaces, multi-faceted portions) defined on the first endplate, the second endplate, and the driving member.
