    摘要: A system for stabilizing the vertebral column without requiring the excision of bone from the superior or inferior vertebrae or the resection of the adjacent anterior or posterior longitudinal ligaments. The system includes a stabilizing device and a deployment system composed of first and second coacting tools. The stabilizing device is made up of an expandable threaded insert and an expansion screw. The threaded insert is a hollow cylindrical member having a central cylindrical threaded bore, and a self tapping helical thread extending about the outer periphery of the member. The member is split at its proximal end in communication with the bore to form a pair of slots extending parallel to its longitudinal axis. The expandable insert is arranged to be screwed by the first tool into the intervertebral space between the superior and inferior vertebrae to a desired depth and with the slots oriented in a plane generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the vertebral column. The first tool includes a pair of extending fingers which fit into the slots to achieve that end. When screwed in, the self-tapping threads cut into the cortical bone of the superior and inferior vertebrae contiguous to the intervertebral space, but not substantially into the cancellous bone. The expansion screw is tapered and arranged to be screwed into the internally threaded bore in the expandable insert by the second tool. The second tool fits into the first tool. When the expansion insert is screwed into the expandable insert it causes the slots of the expandable insert to open and thereby spread the superior and inferior vertebrae apart, thereby stabilizing the being's vertebral column.

    摘要: A humeral prosthesis features improved anatomic attachment areas for tendon or bone. In the preferred embodiment, in contrast to existing devices, at least one set of tendon/bone attachment points are provided along a line, at least a portion of which is divergent with respect to the axis of the stem. One or more sets of attachment points may be further be provided along a line which is substantially parallel to the axis of the stem, resulting in a “T” “L” or “U” shape. Alternatively, attachment points having a changing degree of diversion with respect to the axis of the stem may be provided along a common, curved line. The attachment points may simply be apertures formed through the body of the implant though, in the preferred embodiment, the apertures are provided on raised tabs. An area of bone-ingrowth material may be provided adjacent the attachment points, and may include a separate fastening mechanism such as a threaded hole to receive a screw. A groove may also be provided in any embodiment to receive the biceps tendon. Particularly with respect to fractures, including multi- and ‘four-part’ fractures, means specifically intended for the rigid reattachment of the greater or lesser tuberosities may be provided separately or in conjunction with other sets of reattachment configurations.

    摘要: A tamp assembly for use in configuring bone cavity filler material within a bone cavity, in preparation for receiving an implant, includes a distal tamp portion which has a substantially constant cross-section over at least part of its length. A proximal tamp portion has a through bore extending through it with a size which is such that the proximal tamp portion is a sliding fit over the distal tamp portion. The proximal tamp portion has an exterior tamping surface extending from the through bore which faces generally towards the distal tamp portion. The assembly includes a hammer for transmitting impact to the bone cavity filler material which is contacted by the tamping surface of the proximal tamp portion.
