    摘要: A spinal anchor assembly for securing a fixation element includes an anchor element and a twist-in cap. The anchor element is configured for attachment to a bone, typically by comprising a mono- or polyaxial screw or hook, and includes a proximal portion having an open slot for receiving the fixation element and having radially inwardly protruding flange segments. The twist-in cap is received in and closes the open slot. The proximal portion of the anchor and the cap are adapted to twist-lock together by a partial rotation of the cap from an open position to a closed position to cover the slot so as to capture the fixation element and to lock the cap in the closed position.

    摘要: Minimally invasive methods and devices for introducing a spinal fixation element into a surgical site in a patient's spinal column are provided. In general, the method involves advancing a spinal fixation element in a first, lengthwise orientation along a pathway extending from a minimally invasive percutaneous incision to a spinal anchor site. As the spinal fixation element approaches the spinal anchor site, the fixation element can be manipulated to extend in a second orientation, which is preferably substantially transverse to the first orientation, to position the fixation element in relation to one or more spinal anchors.

    摘要: A flexible spinal fixation element is provided that is movable between a first position, in which the spinal fixation element is adapted to be angularly manipulated, and a second, locked position, in which the spinal fixation element is aligned in a desired orientation and is immovable. The configuration of the flexible spinal fixation element can vary, but the fixation element is preferably formed from a bioimplantable member having segments or a bellows configuration that allows the fixation element to be selectively configurable between the first and second positions. In use, the flexibility of the spinal fixation element allows the fixation element to be introduced through a percutaneous access device, thereby advantageously allowing the fixation element to be implanted using minimally invasive techniques.

    摘要: An assembly such as an anchor screw, bone plate, offset hook, post, transverse connector or other spinal anchor for anchoring to bone and clamping a linkage such as a rod, wire cable or the like. The assembly has a top member with an open slot to receive the linkage, and a twist-lock closure cap to close the open end, capturing the linkage in the slot. One closure cap fits over and around the top member, with a set of segmented protrusions that extend through a corresponding set of protruding flange segments spaced about the circumference of the top member. The cap is configured to rotate and lock against the top member like a flange-locking bayonet mount when turned through a limited degree of rotation. Slots may be provided through the face of the closure cap allowing reduction tabs to project through the cap, and the locking cap may be adapted to a range of screw, eye, hook, post, connector and other anchor assemblies to securely clamp the linkage by use of a rotation tool disposed along an access path aligned with the axis of the screw, thus requiring no lateral clearance along the longitudinal direction of the linkage element. Locking is effected by a set screw that passes through the cap and tightens against the linkage to firmly immobilize it in the anchor assembly. Another cap embodiment fits into the center of the head with a partial twist locking motion. Opposed locking surfaces prevent slippage in the radial direction, and a sloping contact floor surface may apply torque to further increase pressure on urge mating detent features in an adjacent wall.

    摘要: The present invention provides minimally invasive devices and methods for delivering a spinal connector to one or more spinal anchor sites in a patient's spinal column. In one embodiment, a spinal implant and access device is provided that includes a U-shaped receiver member, a bone-engaging member, and an extension member. The U-shaped receiver member can have a recess formed therein that is adapted to seat a spinal connector. The bone-engaging member can extend distally from the receiver member and it can be adapted to engage bone to thereby mate the receiver member to bone. The extension member can extend proximally from the receiver member and it can include a frangible portion formed thereon that is adapted to break when a predetermined force is applied thereto thereby allowing at least a portion of the extension member to be separated from the receiver member.
