摘要:
A spine distraction implant alleviates pain associated with spinal stenosis and facet arthropathy by expanding the volume in the spine canal and/or neural foramen. The implant provides a deployable second arm that converts between a first position for insertion and a second position for retention of the implant between adjacent spinous processes. A tool can be used to insert the spine distraction implant.
摘要:
An intervertebral implant has a fusion body with at least one keel that anchors the implant into cancellous bone of at least one vertebral body. A method for implantation includes lateral implantation of the implant.

A laterally insertable spine distraction implant alleviates pain associated with spinal stenosis and facet arthropathy and other spinal ailments by expanding the volume in the spine canal and/or neural foramen. The implant provides a deployable second arm that converts between a first position for insertion and a second position for retention of the implant between adjacent spinous processes.

A spine distraction implant alleviates pain associated with spinal stenosis and facet arthropathy by expanding the volume in the spine canal and/or neural foramen. The implant provides a spinal extension stop while allowing freedom of spinal flexion.
摘要:
Systems and method in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention can includes an implant comprising a first wing, a spacer extending from the first wing, and a distraction guide. The distraction guide is arranged in a first configuration to pierce and/or distract tissue associated with adjacent spinous processes extending from vertebrae of a targeted motion segment. The implant can be positioned between the adjacent spinous processes and once positioned, the implant can be arranged in a second configuration. When arranged in a second configuration, the distraction guide can act as a second wing. The first wing and the second wing can limit or block movement of the implant along a longitudinal axis of the implant.

摘要:
Systems and method in accordance with the embodiments of the present invention can include an implant for positioning within a cervical facet joint for distracting the cervical spine, thereby increasing the area of the canals and openings through which the spinal cord and nerves must pass, and decreasing pressure on the spinal cord and/or nerve roots. The implant can be inserted laterally or posteriorly.
摘要:
An intervertebral disk implant is adapted to be placed between two vertebrae using a lateral insertion method. The implant is characterized by features including a first end plate having a first socket and a second end plate having a second socket with a spacer that is at least partially received in the first socket and the second socket. The implant includes at least one keel that is adapted to be inserted laterally into a vertebral body of the spine. The spacer allows for pivotal or rotational motion and also for twisting motion of the spine once the implant is inserted between vertebrae of a patient.
摘要:
A method for the implantation of a device made of bioresorbable materials between interspinous processes is described. The implant has a spacer that can be placed between adjacent spinous processes to limit the movement of the vertebrae. Once inserted between interspinous processes, the implant acts to limit extension (backward bending) of the spine without inhibiting the flexion (forward bending) of the spinal column. The device is used as an adjunct to remediation of an intervertebral disk.
