摘要： A bio-compatible stabilization system includes one or more inserters and a spinal stabilization connector for traversing a space between one or more bony structures. The stabilization system is designed to reduce or eliminate stress shielding effects while functioning as a tension band. The stabilization rod is shaped to define a fixed number of discrete positions of orientation.

摘要： Methods and devices retract tissue for minimally invasive surgery in a patient. A retractor includes a working channel formed by a first portion and a second portion. The first and second portions are movable relative to one another from a first configuration for insertion that minimizes trauma to skin and tissue to an enlarged configuration after insertion to further retract skin and tissue in a minimally invasive manner. An optional intermediate retractor assembly is positionable between the first and second retractor portions to provide further tissue retraction capabilities.

摘要： An expandable medical implant for supporting bone structures includes a curved outer member to cooperatively engage a first bone structure and a curved inner member configured to cooperatively engage a second bone structure. The curved inner member is receivable within and movable relative to the curved outer member along an arc bounded by the curvature of the curved outer member. One of the curved outer and inner members may include a tapered surface and the other of the curved outer and inner members may include a scalloped surface. The implant may include a locking element disposed between the tapered and scalloped surface. The locking element is movable between a locked position engaging the tapered surface and a roughened locking surface to inhibit a decrease in the overall height of the implant and an unlocked position permitting at least an increase in the overall height of the implant.

摘要： A bone anchor system including a bone anchor having an integral head, a stabilization member, and a coupling member molded around the integral head of the bone anchor is provided for coupling the bone anchor to the stabilization member. The coupling member includes an interface to the stabilization member. Advantageously, the interface to the stabilization member is made of a deform able material to reduce surface stress concentration in the stabilization member. The interface of the coupling member may be integral to the coupling member, or the interface may be an interface piece that may be inserted into the coupling member. The integral head of a bone anchor may include a molded cap that is formed from a deformable material and configured to provide an interface to the stabilization member.
