摘要： A spinal fixation device for securing to a spine includes a body having one or more longitudinal members extending between a pair of wedge members. Each wedge member defines one or more openings therethrough for the reception of a bone screw. The wedge members are disposed on opposite ends of the one or more longitudinal members. One of the wedge members is positionable within a first intervertebral space and the other wedge member is positionable within a second intervertebral space. The one or more longitudinal members define a length that spans one or more vertebrae. The one or more longitudinal members are positionable within the one or more vertebrae when the wedge members are positioned within the respective first and second intervertebral spaces to maintain the body in a minimal profile orientation relative to the spine.

摘要： A gravity dependent pedicle screw tap hole guide comprises a guide shaft maintainable parallel to a drill bit during the drilling of a pedicle screw tap hole; an accelerometer associated with a reference direction and responsive to gravity to determine an angular difference between an acting direction of gravity and the reference direction; and a mounting attaching the accelerometer to the shaft and establishing a positional relationship between the reference direction and the longitudinal axis. The accelerometer is preferably in communication with a data processing device or system, which data processing device is able to use signals from the accelerometer to perform one or more actions, such as, for example, displaying the angular difference.

摘要： A system and method for reinforcing bone in preparation for screw implantation. One system embodiment comprises a threaded and centrally bored cannula with a perforated distal end, a cannula applicator frictionally fitting within the central bore, a plunger translating within the central bore (the plunger having a internal longitudinal guide wire), bone cement, and a cannulated drill bit. One method embodiment comprises drilling and tapping a hole in a vertebral body, inserting the applicator into the central bore, screwing the cannula into the tapped hole by rotating the applicator, removing the applicator, injecting the bone cement into the central bore, distributing the bone cement out the holes in the distal end of the cannula and into the surrounding bone using the plunger, letting the bone cement harden, and drilling out the plunger using the cannulated drill following the guide wire.

摘要： A gravity dependent pedicle screw tap hole guide comprises a guide shaft maintainable parallel to a drill bit during the drilling of a pedicle screw tap hole; a level indicator associated with a reference direction and responsive to gravity to provide feedback regarding an angular difference between an acting direction of gravity and the reference direction; and a mounting attaching the indicator to the shaft and establishing a positional relationship between the reference direction and the longitudinal axis. Using the guide involves angulating the shaft about its distal end adjacent the base of the superior articular process and the base and middle of the transverse process until the guide indicates that the angular orientation of the longitudinal axis matches the previously determined pedicle axis orientation with respect to the acting direction of gravity, and then drilling the tap hole along a trajectory established by the longitudinal axis of the shaft.
