Disclosed herein are a system and method for attaching an implant, such as an acetabular cup, to an adapter connector without requiring rotation of the connector or the implant, to allow for easy connection, manipulation, and insertion of the implant into a patient. An adapter connector or adapter inserter can include a collet and a collet spreader. The collet can include an exterior surface and an interior surface. The exterior surface can define a protuberance sized to engage an indentation in an adapter. The interior surface can define a collet cavity. The collet spreader can be located at least partially within the collet cavity. The collet spreader can include a flared surface and an engagement surface. The flared surface can be located at a first end of the collet spreader and arranged to engage the interior surface of the collet so as to cause the collet to expand.

A multi-member prosthesis including first and second elongated members and a central member, said multi-member prosthesis adapted to be advanced into a pilot SI joint opening in said dysfunctional SI joint via a posterior approach, the pilot SI joint opening comprising a sacrum opening and an ilium opening and a sacrum opening. The first elongated member adapted to be press-fit into the sacrum opening and the second elongated member adapted to be press-fit into the ilium opening. The central member including first and second elongated member securing means adapted to secure the first and second elongated members thereto.

An instrument comprising a body comprising a distal end spaced apart from a proximal end relative to a longitudinal axis and a handle coupling located near the proximal end, the body defining a channel miming between the distal end to the proximal end; a drive comprising a first connector located adjacent the distal end and adapted to be connected to a driven instrument, a second connector located adjacent the proximal end and adapted to be connected to a driving instrument, and a drive shaft arranged in the channel, the drive shaft coupling the second connector to the first connector; and an adjustable handle located near the distal end, the adjustable handle comprising a grip spacing apart a leading end from a trailing end along a handle axis, the leading end coupling the handle to the handle coupling, the trailing end shaped to define an impaction plate; wherein the adjustable handle is arrangeable relative to the body in a first and a second position, in the first position the leading end is arranged relative to the handle coupling such that the handle axis is offset relative to the longitudinal axis, and in the second position the leading end is arranged relative to the handle coupling such that the handle axis is parallel to the longitudinal axis.

The present invention relates to an expandable implant for engagement between vertebrae generally comprising an inner member, outer member, and gear member positioned coaxial with respect to each other such that the inner and outer members are moveable relative to each other along an axis. The gear member is axially fixed to the outer member and freely rotatable with respect to the outer member and the gear member threadedly engages a threaded portion of the inner member to translate inner member along the axis. The implant is configured to engage the vertebrae in a predetermined alignment and the gear member includes gear teeth exposed to the exterior and configured to be accessible by a tool member at a plurality of angular positions around the perimeter of the implant device.

A two-piece medical instrument for installing an expandable interbody (intervertebral) spine implant via an endoscope, has a handle assembly and a shaft assembly configured for extension through the endoscope, the shaft assembly holding an expandable interbody spine implant when the shaft assembly is fully received by a head of the handle assembly, and releasing the spine implant upon retraction of the shaft assembly from the head of the handle assembly. The shaft assembly has a rod with a longitudinal bore and a sleeve situated on the rod that axially moves relative to the rod in response to the reception into and retraction from the handle assembly head, with the sleeve controlling capture and release of the implant by the rod. The distal end of the rod has a clamp formed by jaws that flex to capture and release the implant.

An orthopaedic surgical system for use in implanting a total knee prosthesis includes an adjustable tibial trial component that is movable in the anterior/posterior direction and rotatable when installed on the resected surface of a patient's tibia. A method of using such a system is also disclosed.

The present disclosure provides adjustable spinal devices, instruments for implanting the spinal devices, methods for adjusting the height and lordosis angles of the spinal devices and methods for implanting such devices. An adjustable spinal fusion device includes an upper plate component having an outer surface for placement against an endplate of a vertebral body and a lower plate component having an outer surface for placement against an endplate of a vertebral body. The device further includes a first translation member configured to move longitudinally relative to the upper and lower plates to adjust a distance between the upper and lower plates and a second translation member configured to move longitudinally relative to the upper and lower plates to adjust an angle between the upper and lower plates.

This disclosure includes an expansion driver for adjusting expandable implants, the expansion drivers includes: a first driver having a first gear disposed at a first end thereof; and a second driver having a second gear disposed at a first end of the second driver; and a handle operably connected to the first driver and the second driver, the handle having at least one bevel gear rotatably attached thereto, the at least one bevel gear engaging each of the first gear and the second gear; wherein upon a rotation of the handle a torque is applied to at least one of the first driver or the second driver.

The present disclosure relates to an instrument. The instrument includes a handle coupled with a rod, and a body portion configured to receive the rod in a central portion thereof. The instrument also includes a coupling portion configured to releasably couple with one or more components of an implant. Actuation of the handle drives the rod to actuate a first implant component relative to a second implant component so as to position the first implant component adjacent the second implant component.

A system for treating dysfunctional SI joints that includes a multi-function bone structure prosthesis adapted to be delivered to and inserted into a dysfunctional SI joint via a posterior approach, the multi-function bone structure prosthesis, when disposed in a dysfunctional SI joint, being adapted to (i) stabilize the dysfunctional SI joint, (ii) induce proliferation, and/or growth and/or remodeling and/or regeneration of osseous tissue and, thereby, healing and arthrodesis of the dysfunctional SI joint, (iii) attenuate pain associated with the dysfunctional SI joint via neurostimulation, and (iv) monitor physiological and/or biomechanical parameters associated with the dysfunctional SI joint via one or more sensor systems.
