    摘要: A spinal fusion stimulator comprising an interbody fusion cage or other interbody fixation device adapted to be implanted in the intervertebral disc space of a patient's spine, the interbody fusion cage in the preferred embodiment having a hollow body with internal and external conductive surfaces. The stimulator includes a constant current generator connected to the interbody fusion cage and set to provide a DC current effective to produce a surface current density of at least 1 &mgr;A/cm2 in the interbody fusion cage when implanted.

    摘要: An apparatus includes an elongate body and an expandable member coupled to the elongate body. In one embodiment, the expandable member has a collapsed configuration, an unfolded configuration and an expanded configuration. The expandable member is configured to be percutaneously inserted into an interior portion of a bone structure when the expandable member is in the collapsed configuration. The expandable member is configured to exert a pressure in a vertical direction on a first portion of the bone structure in contact with the expandable member greater than a pressure exerted in a lateral direction on a second portion of the bone structure in contact with the expandable member when the expandable member transitions from the unfolded configuration to the expanded configuration.

    摘要: Devices and methods for performing a procedure within a spine are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method includes inserting an expandable member into an interior of a bone-related structure. The expandable member defines a first and second lumen. A medium is delivered through the first lumen and into the interior of the expandable member while within the interior of the bone-related structure. A filler material is delivered through the second lumen and into a cavity within the interior of the bone-related structure while the expandable member is disposed therein. An apparatus can include an expandable member that defines a first lumen in fluid communication with an interior volume of the expandable member, and a second lumen in fluid communication with an opening of the expandable member. The second lumen is configured to communicate a filler material through the opening and into an interior cavity of a bone-related structure.
