    摘要: A modular pedicle screw and rod implant assembly includes a shant screw, a rod holding element, a locking member, a rod, and a nut. The shant screw has a lower threaded shaft portion for insertion into the pedicle and a top shaft portion which is unthreaded, a portion of which is tapered. The locking member has a threaded upper portion and a smoothly tapered lower portion. It further includes an axial bore which is similarly tapered at the bottom for seating on the upper portion of the shant screw. This tapered bottom portion is slotted so that it may be expanded or compressed in accordance with a radial force applied thereto. The rod holding element includes two through holes; one for receiving the rod, and the other, transverse to the rod receiving hole, which is tapered. The two holes are overlapping so that when the rod is seated in the first hole and the tapered portion of the locking member is in the second hole the surfaces of the rod and the locking member are in contact. The upper portion of the locking member is threaded, and receives the nut. Tightening of the nut causes the rod and locking member to compress against one another, and for the locking member to compress against the top of the shaft screw, thus locking the assembly together securely.

    摘要: A polyaxial orthopedic device for use with rod implant apparatus which includes a screw having a head, a tubular body having holes in the top, side and bottom therof, 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: The present invention is a selectively expandable bone fixation screw-sleeve device which provides substantially greater holding strength in human bone than other bone screw devices. The sleeve element of this invention includes several embodiments, each having at least one corresponding screw element for selectively expanding a portion of the sleeve once it has been inserted into the bone. More specifically, in several embodiments, the sleeve includes a series of vertical slots in the end, or ends, of the cylindrical body of the sleeve. The slots define, therebetween, sections which are contiguous with the remainder of the cylindrical body, and which may rotate radially outward. In these embodiments, the sections are designed having a varying thickness, for example a single or double wedge profile, such that the insertion of the screw element into the sleeve deforms the shape of the sleeve by causing the sections to flair outward. In a different embodiment, the slots, and sections, are designed into the axially intermediate central portion of the cylindrical sleeve, and therefore flair outwardly therefrom upon insertion of a screw within the sleeve. As this invention is intended to provide imporved fixation support for orthopedic implantation assemblies, each embodiment may further include means coupled or integral with the sleeve or screw for coupling an orthopedic implant to it.

    摘要: A unitary locking cap mechanism, which is used with pedicle screws and other orthopaedic implant devices which couple bones to rods, includes rim and post portions which are rotationally freely coupled to one another to permit independent motion relative to one another. The rim element has a cylindrical body with an open end and a closed end; the closed end alternatively having a concentric hole defined by an inwardly directed flange. In one embodiment, the flange includes a series of slots, dividing into a plurality of wedge-shaped pie sections. In another embodiment, the sidewall of the cylindrical portion of the rim includes an annular recess. The post is a cylindrical shaft having surface elements at one end which provide for mutual engagement with the rim. These surface elements may be deflecting arms which seat into the annular recess of the rim, or an annular recess in the shaft into which the wedge-shaped pie sections of the flange portion may be resiliently snapped into. In an alternative embodiment, the shaft and the rim are coupled together through the concentric hole by a retaining ring which is placed around the shaft, in an annular recess therein, after the insertion of the shaft through the hole. Each embodiment are alternatively designed such that the post or the inner surface of the rim portions are threaded so that it can mate with a threading on the inner or outer upwardly extending, U-shaped channel forming, members of the heads of the pedicle screws.
