    摘要: Devices and methods for spinal fixation employ at least first and second plates that are configured to allow progressive sliding advancement of the plate members toward one another and limit movement of the plate members away from one another after installation. A spring member associated with one bone plate may engage toothed section(s) on the other bone plate. The bone plates may each have arms that are spaced from one another and engaged by corresponding arms on the other bone plate. There may be more than two bone plates, with multiple restricted movement regions.

    摘要: The present invention concerns spinal fixation systems, and particularly systems utilizing pedicle screws, connectors and elongated members positioned adjacent to the spinal column. More specifically, the invention concerns improvements to spinal connectors having set screws used to connect to the elongate members, such as spinal rods, that include a means for inhibiting rotational movement of a partially inserted set screw before such connectors are implanted by the surgeon.

    摘要: Apparatus for applying sustained tension on tether in treatment site includes a positioning mechanism, gripping mechanism and pressurized fluid actuated mechanism. The positioning mechanism is operable to position the pressurized fluid actuated mechanism at a fixed distance relative to treatment site, and to engage a target at treatment site and secure the tether proximate to the target. The gripping mechanism is operable to selectively grip the tether and maintain tether when tether is held in tension. The pressurized fluid actuated mechanism is selectively operable to apply desired pulling force on gripping mechanism directed away from treatment site so as to transmit and apply in a sustained manner the desired pulling force on the tether independently from the tether displacement and place it under desired level of tension while the tether is being secured.

    摘要: An instrument and method for reducing a vertebral rod into an anchor attached to a vertebral member. The instrument may include a gripper configured to attach to an anchor, an elongated shaft extending along a longitudinal axis between opposing jaws of the gripper, and a reducing element disposed at least partially outside the first and second jaws of the gripper and configured to engage with the vertebral rod. A release device may also be disposed about the elongated shaft and may be movable relative thereto such that the release device may be selectively engaged with a threaded outer surface of the elongated shaft. The reducing element may therefore be alternatively slidable relative to the gripper or threadably movable relative to the gripper by interaction with the elongated shaft, depending on a position of the release device.
