    摘要: Systems and methods in accordance with the present invention can be applied to distract adjacent interspinous processes and measure a distraction height, so that an appropriately sized implant can be positioned between interspinous processes to relieve pain associated with at least one of the spinal column and associated structures. A system in accordance with one embodiment can include a sizing distractor having distraction prongs extending from opposing jaws, the opposing jaws can taper laterally toward the distraction prongs to assist in positioning the distraction prongs between obstructive structures related to the spine.

    摘要: A supplemental spine fixation device and method is used in association with a primary spine fixation device. The supplemental spine fixation device includes a guide and spacer for distracting apart adjacent spinous processes and the device has hook members which hook about the first and second spinous processes. With the spinous processes distracted and the hook members about the spinous processes, the hook members can be rigidly secured to a hub in order to rigidly affix the spinous processes about the spacer. The rigidity between the spinous processes assures that the vertebral bodies will be held rigidly in place in order to promote bone growth and fusion. Further additional freedom of movement between the spacer and hub is accomplished with the spacer being pivotably mounted relative to the hub. The hooks have a tissue distracting lead-in guide for allowing the hooks to be easily urged between spinous processes.

    摘要: An intervertebral spinal disk replacement device which can be implanted via a lateral approach includes a first end plate, a second end plate, an articulating element and a limiter. The articulating element and limiter, which are situated between the two end plates, are integral to the second end plate. The articulating element with an articulating surface that is slidably positioned on the support surface of the first end plate and the limiter that protrudes from the upper surface of the second end plate, with the limiter being confined with a cavity within the first end plate. The degree of rotational movement of the first end plate relative to the second end plate is determined by the range of motion the limiter exhibits within the cavity. The implant may include keels that extend in a lateral direction with respect to the vertebral bodies on which the end plates abut.
