    摘要: One technique of the present application includes: evaluating a patient having a previously implanted spinal construct and corresponding spinal fusion from an earlier procedure and determining a spinal segment adjacent to the spinal fusion is degenerating after completion of the earlier procedure. After this determination, the previously implanted spinal construct is augmented by attaching a flexible polymer elongated member to the spinal segment adjacent to the spinal fusion with a bone fastener and by coupling the flexible polymer elongated member to one or more elements of the previously implanted spinal construct. In one form, the elongated member is at least partially comprised of polyetheretherketone.

    摘要: A posterior spinal fixation device or dynamic spinal stabilization device or other orthopedic device includes an active agent-delivery component. The active agent-delivery component has an active agent impregnated therein or adsorbed thereon or otherwise contained therein and is configured to release the active agent locally after the device is implanted in a patient. One preferred type of implant in accordance with the invention is an implant for stabilizing a spinal motion segment that includes a spacer member positionable between adjacent spinous processes or transverse processes or other posterior spinal element, including an implanted anchor element.

    摘要: A spinal fixation device comprises a receiver that can be used with rods of different sizes. The receiver comprises a body with a channel formed therein. The body is adapted to receive one of a set of interchangeable inserts that engage rods of different sizes. A bone anchor secures the receiver to a vertebral member.

    摘要: The forces exerted on a spinal implant by one or more coupling assemblies are controlled to facilitate the use of the implant in spinal stabilization and other procedures. The coupling assemblies are structured to distribute the forces exerted on the implant while engaging the implant to the coupling assembly and providing at least one of a rigid, semi-rigid or variable engagement of the coupling assembly with one or more anatomical structures of the spinal column.

    摘要: The invention provides a fixation device for implantation in a patient to provide support to a body component. The fixation device includes an outer construct forming a pocket and a slurry disposed in the pocket. The slurry is comprised of magnetic particles. The slurry is responsive to an electric field to modulate stiffness of the slurry. A system is provided to generate the electric field. Further, a method is provided to use the fixation device.
