    摘要: This invention relates generally to spine surgery and, in particular, to methods and apparatus for treating spinal stenosis. The methods comprising gaining access to an interspinous space, abrading a portion of the superior spinous process, inserting an implant into the interspinous process space, verifying the position of the implant by observing the position of three radio-opaque markers embedded in the implant, and coupling the implant to the superior spinous process.

    摘要: The present application describes a spinal cross-connector and related methods for augmenting and stiffening spinal fixation constructs. The cross connector may include multiple rod-stabilization members that simultaneously engage respective rods of a fixation construct. Simultaneous engagement by the rod-stabilization members may be effectuated by a single locking step.
