摘要:
An extender comprises a first extension including a first wall and extending between a proximal end and a distal end. The first wall defines an axial cavity including a distal portion, at least one ramp and a proximal portion. A second extension includes a projection. The projection is disposable in a first position with the distal portion of the axial cavity and the distal end of the first extension is disposed in a non-expanded orientation. The projection is slidably engageable with the at least one ramp for movement to a second position such that the projection is disposed with the proximal portion of the axial cavity and the distal end of the first extension is disposed in an expanded orientation. Methods of use are disclosed.

摘要:
A spinal surgical system includes at least one extender mounted to an anchor engaged to the spinal column. The extender extends proximally away from the anchor to a proximal end outside the patient. The extender is configured to receive a connecting member from an approach that is generally parallel or along the longitudinal axis of the extender so that the connecting member can be positioned from the proximal end of the extender to the anchor at the distal end of the extender without requiring an additional incision or puncture to accommodate the connecting member insertion.
摘要:
An extender comprises an inner member including a wall defining a thread form and at least one extension defining a first axial cavity and a second axial cavity, each cavity including first, second and third portions. An outer member includes an actuator and at least one arm having projections disposable with the portions of the axial cavities. The actuator is rotatable to axially translate the inner member such that the projections are disposable between a first position, a second position and a third position. Methods of use are disclosed.
摘要:
An extender includes a first arm defining a first longitudinal axis and including a first extension and a second extension. The first extension includes an outer surface and a projection extending from the outer surface, the projection including a ramp and a first locking element. The first extension includes an inner surface defining a longitudinal cavity. The projection is transversely moveable between a first configuration such that the projection extends beyond the outer surface and a second configuration whereby the second extension axially translates within the longitudinal cavity and engages the ramp such that the projection is disposed in alignment with the outer surface and the first locking element engages an implant. Methods of use are disclosed.
摘要:
Devices for measuring the parameters of an intervertebral disc space are provided. The devices may comprise one or more flexible internal members positioned in an axially concentric bore of a longitudinal element. When activated, the flexible internal member(s) may protrude out of one or more apertures in the longitudinal element and impinge on an adjacent surface of the intervertebral disc space. The device may be useful to determine at least one dimension of an intervertebral disc space.

A spinal implant system includes a first member comprising walls that include a first end surface defining a first locking cavity, a second end surface and an outer surface extending therebetween. A second member includes a first arm having an inner surface that defines a first cavity and a second arm having an inner surface that defines a second cavity. The inner surface of the first arm includes a first projection disposable in the first cavity and the inner surface of the second arm includes a second projection disposable in the second cavity. A third member includes a first extension having an inner surface that defines a first cavity and a second extension having an inner surface that defines a second cavity. The third member is configured for axial translation relative to the second member between a first orientation and a second orientation. Methods of use are disclosed.
