An artificial disc having a pair of opposing plates (330,400) for seating against opposing vertebral bone, surfaces, separated by at least one spring mechanism. The preferred spring mechanism is at least one spirally slotted belleville washer (330b), and in some embodiments the belleville washer is also radially thinning or thickening. Various illustrated embodiments use two washers or one washer. For double washer embodiments, the wide ends of the washers seat against respective opposing plates, in some embodiments each being maintained thereagainst by a retaining wall (306) and ring (310) or circular recess and retaining shield. For single washer embodiments, the narrow end of the washer can be modified to have a curvate socket (332b) for rotatably mounting onto a semispherical protuberance (410) extending from one of the plates.

An artificial disc having a pair of baseplates (10, 30), for sealing against opposing vertebral bone surfaces, separated by a ball and socket joint that includes a ball (22) attached to baseplate (10). The ball is captured within a curvate socket (37) formed in a peak of a housing (31) attached to the other baseplate (30). The socket is formed by opposing curvate surfaces, one on the convex structure and one on the baseplate. The ball rotates and angulates in the socket. The ball and socket joint therefore permits the baseplates to rotate and angulate relative to one another. Rotation of the ball can be limited. The device can be axially compressive and can include wire mesh (14, 34) on the outer surfaces of the baseplates.

摘要:
An orthopedic fastener is designed to attach an implant to bone in such a manner that, until the fastener is tightened, the implant may be rotationally adjusted against the bone. The implant may have a semispherical bone apposition surface that permits polyaxial rotation of the implant against the bone. The orthopedic fastener has an interpositional member and a compression member. The interpositional member may be a split ring with a conical exterior surface that mates with a conical surface of the implant. The compression member has a threaded bore that engages a proximal end of a fixation member implanted in the bone such that, in response to rotation of the compression member, the interpositional member is sandwiched securely between the implant and the compression member. The conical surface of the implant compresses the interpositional member about a semispherical surface of the compression member, thereby restricting rotation of the implant.

Interbody fusion devices, insertion tools, methods for assembling an interbody fusion device, and methods for inserting a medical device between two vertebral bodies are disclosed. The interbody fusion device includes a base member, a top member, and at least one movement mechanism. The base member includes at least one of a pivot cylinder and a hinge channel. The top member includes at least one of a pivot cylinder and a hinge channel. The at least one pivot cylinder of the base member engages the at least one hinge channel of the top member and the at least one pivot cylinder of the top member engages the at least one hinge channel of the base member. The at least one movement mechanism engages the top member and the base member. Also disclosed are a vertebral spacer device and an interbody spacer system including an insertion tool and an interbody fusion device.
