Adjustable and fixed assembled bone-tendon-bone graft

The present invention has multiple aspects relating to a bone-tendon-bone graft and components thereof. Embodiments of the present invention comprise an intermediate bone block that is used to adjustably secure soft tissue (e.g., tendon) in a patient. The present invention further relates to an assembled bone-tendon-bone graft suitable for implantation in humans comprising the intermediate bone block and a length of soft tissue. In a preferred embodiment, a bone-tendon-bone graft comprises a length of soft tissue (e.g., tendon) extending from a first assembled bone block to a second bone block and then doubles back to said first assembled bone block. Depending upon the embodiment, the second bone block fixedly or slideably attaches to the length of soft tissue and facilitates it doubling back to the first assembled bone block.

Intersomatic implants

A spinal implant includes a hollow body having a distal end, a proximal end, and a pair of lateral walls extending from the distal end to the proximal end, the lateral walls having a concave-shaped cross-section and having concave, non-threaded interior surfaces for defining an at least partially cylindrical internal space between the lateral walls. The hollow body has upper and lower faces that are inclined relative to one another, whereby a distance between the upper and lower faces decreases from a first lateral side of the hollow body to a second lateral side of the hollow body opposite the first lateral side. The implant includes an anchoring member having bone anchoring projections that is inserted into the hollow body. The anchoring member is rotatable for enabling the anchoring member to be screwed into the internal space of the hollow body.

Intervertebral implant

Implants for positioning between vertebral members. The implant may include a superior surface to contact against a first vertebral member, and an inferior surface to contact against a second vertebral member. The implant may include a central web that extends between first and second flanges. The flanges may be shaped to form gaps that extend the height of the implant. Spaces in communication with the gaps may be formed in an interior of the implant to hold bone growth material.
