    摘要: A polyaxial orthopedic device for use with rod implant apparatus includes a screw having a head, a tubular body having holes in the top, side and bottom thereof, and a rod coupling element. The head of the screw is disposed in the body with the shaft of the screw extending out the bottom hole, such that the body and the screw may initially rotate relative to one another. The rod coupling element has a ball shaped end which seats in the body with the remainder of the rod coupling element extending out of the side hole of the body, such that the rod coupling element and the body are initially polyaxially coupled relative to one another. The ball end of the rod coupling element is disposed on top of the head of the screw. A set screw is provided in the top of the body, the tightening of which causes the ball, head, and body to be crush locked together, thereby preventing further relative motion.

    摘要: A compression locking variable length cross-link device having modular components, including rod and/or pedicle screw coupling elements each having a hole which may be disposed co-linearly with respect to other such holes in opposing elements such that a threaded hinge-post may be inserted therein. A nut is utilized to compress the elements together to rigidly secure the elements once they have been properly positioned relative to one another. In an additional set of embodiments, a linkage member having an elongate hole therein may be used to couple similar elements thereto in a similar flexible hinge-post manner such that the elements may be coupled to the linkage member instead of to the opposing elements directly.

    摘要: A hook device for use with support rod implantation apparatus, having a rod receiving body polyaxially mounted to a blade portion such that the body may be polyaxially manuevered relative to the blade, for easy rod coupling. The blade portion has a semi-spherical head portion which sits above the lamina. The rod receiving portion is a separate coupling element having lower and upper portions. The lower portion is slotted and tapered, and has a semi-spherical interior chamber in which the semi-spherical head is initially polyaxially disposed. The upper portion has a pair of upwardly extending members, defining therebetween a channel for receiving the rod. The uppermost parts of the upwardly extending members include an threading for receiving a top locking nut. A locking ring is disposed about the coupling element, substantially below the side recess; the top of the coupling element being initially positioned above the lower ledge of the side recess such that the rod, when initially disposed therein, seats against the top surface of the locking ring. When the rod is in place, the top locking nut is tightened to provides a downward force onto the rod. The rod, in turn, applies a force against the locking ring to descend down the tapered lower portion, therein locking the semi-spherical head in the interior chamber of the coupling element, and locking it into position relative to the blade portion. In an alternative variation, a rod retaining sleeve may be provided between the locking ring and the nut.

    摘要: A polyaxial orthopedic device for use with rod implant apparatus includes a screw having a curvate head and a coupling element. The coupling element has a tapered lower portion including a slotted interior chamber in which the curvate head is initially polyaxially disposed. The coupling element further includes a recess for receiving the rod of the implant apparatus, and an exterior threading disposed on its upper portion which receives a locking nut. A locking ring is disposed about the lower portion of the coupling element, and provides an inward force on the outwardly tapered portion upon downward translation thereof, thereby causing the vertical slots to close, and crush locking the screw head within the interior chamber, thus eliminating the polyaxial nature of the screw-element coupling. In several embodiments a hollow cylindrical rod securing sleeve is provided which fits over the coupling element and locks the rod to the coupling element. In the other embodiments, the locking nut seats against the top of the rod, locking it in place.
