    摘要: A distraction instrument distracts two adjacent vertebra segments to receive an artificial disc, the instrument including a measurement indication related to a distracted disc space. The measurement indication can be the force required to distract the disc space, the distance between the adjacent vertebra, the lordotic angle of a pair of vertebra defining the disc space, and the width of the disc space.

    摘要: Various exemplary methods and devices are provided for fixing an implant to native tissue, such as, bone. The devices can include a body having an upper surface, a lower tissue contacting surface, and an implant receiving opening extending therebetween. The body can further include first and second portions each having an implant contacting surface and a hinge for connecting the first and second portions. In use, the hinge can allow pivotal movement between the first and second portions such that an implant can be fixed therebetween.

    摘要: Various exemplary methods and devices are provided for fixing an implant to native tissue, such as, bone. The devices can include a plate body with an upper surface and a lower tissue contacting surface. The body provides a large contact area for fixing the tissue implant to bone, such that the implant can be securely held in position without requiring penetration of the implant. In one embodiment, the plate body can include at least one aperture for receiving a fixation device and a tissue implant receiving opening through which a tissue implant can be threaded prior to fixing the plate to bone.
