摘要： There are provided systems and methods for positioning a connecting member adjacent the spinal column that include one or more anchor assemblies having an anchor engageable to bony structure and an extended receiver having a guide portion and an implantation portion. A connecting member is movable along the guide portion from a location outside the patient to the implantation portion in the patient, where the connecting member is secured to the anchor assembly with an engaging member. The guide portion is formed as a single unit with but separable from the implantation portion to provide a modified low-profile anchor assembly after implantation of the connecting member.

摘要： Orthopedic medical devices for use in orthopedic procedures are provided, having in certain embodiments a first member and a second member configured to replace a disk between a first vertebra and a second vertebra. Additionally, the second member is also configured to fuse the second vertebra to at least a third vertebra. In one embodiment, the second member has a first portion that is elastic and a second portion that is substantially rigid. In other embodiments, the second member is substantially rigid. In yet another embodiment, the first member and second member are configured to replace a disk between the first vertebra and the second vertebra, and the second member and a third member are configured to replace a second disk between the third vertebra and a fourth vertebra. In this embodiment, the first, second, and third members may be connected to vertebrae by various anchors.
