摘要： Systems and methods include solutions for fixation at the rib head for fractures and osteotomies adjacent to the rib head and transverse process. The disclosed rib plates, anchor systems, other implants, and instrumentation may also be applied to mid-rib fractures. The systems and methods may be used in the treatment of rib deformities, including the correction of rib hump deformity via thoracoplasty, as well as general corrections of chest and rib deformities. Systems and methods herein may be used in chest wall reconstructions due to trauma, cancer, or deformity.

摘要： A surgical navigation system is provided to create a plan to correct a deformed spinal alignment. A processor is configured to obtain a first set of image data associated with a deformed alignment in a spine of a patient from at least one imaging device. The processor is also configured to process the first set of image data to identify a set of deformed alignment parameters associated with the deformed alignment. The processor is further configured to identify a set of corrected alignment parameters. The processor is also configured to process the first set of image data, the set of deformed alignment parameters, and the set of corrected alignment parameters to generate a correction plan to surgically manipulate the deformed alignment to the preferred alignment. The processor is additionally configured to provide navigation through the correction plan to facilitate surgical manipulation of a patient spine to the preferred alignment. The processor is also configured to receive information relating to forces on a rod-link reducer or surgical implants from strain gauges to aid the correction plan.

摘要： An implantable growing rod assembly adapted to be secured along a length of a spine for treating deformities of the spine. The assembly includes a housing, a fixed rod extending along a longitudinal axis away from the housing, and an expansion rod extendible from the housing along the longitudinal axis. A driver assembly is fixed to the housing and adapted to translate the expansion rod along the longitudinal axis. Examples of the implantable growing rod assembly include a smart growing system, and an autonomous growing rod system.

摘要： Devices and methods for coupling first and second adjacent vertebrae. The device includes a first coupling element and a second coupling element. The first coupling element has a first body portion for receiving a first bone fastener and an elongate rod portion extending transversely from the first body portion. The second coupling element has a second body portion for receiving a second bone fastener and an extension portion extending transversely from the second body portion. The extension portion defines a recess sized and configured to receive the rod portion of the first coupling element. When unlocked, the rod portion is moveable in the recess to allow for rotational and translational movement of the first and second coupling elements. When locked, the relative position of the first and second coupling elements is fixed.

摘要： The present invention provides an expandable fusion device capable of being inserted between adjacent vertebrae to facilitate the fusion process. A method of installing an expandable fusion device may comprise introducing the expandable fusion device into an intervertebral space, wherein the expandable fusion device comprises a proximal end, a distal end, an anterior side connecting the proximal end and the distal end, and a posterior side connecting the proximal end and the distal end, wherein the expandable fusion device has an anterior height on the anterior side and a posterior height on the posterior side. The method may further comprise adjusting the anterior height of the expandable fusion device independently from adjustment of the posterior height. The method can also include changing the lordotic angle.
