    摘要: A bone fusing implant device includes an elongated body extending along a longitudinal direction. The elongated body includes a first segment having an outer surface with cortical threads, a second segment having an outer surface with cancellous threads, a top segment and a bottom segment. The first segment is adjacent to the second segment along the longitudinal direction and is configured to engage a cortical bone with the cortical threads and the second segment is configured to engage a cancellous bone with the cancellous threads. The elongated body has one or more elongated fusing gutters extending along the longitudinal direction on an outer surface of the elongated body covering the first and second segments, a central opening extending along the longitudinal direction through the elongated body's center and one or more through-openings that extend horizontally and intersect with the one or more fusing gutters.

    摘要: A spinal fixation device includes a bone screw, a tulip-shaped seat, a rod seat, and a washer. The bone screw comprises a spherical head and a threaded elongated body extending along a first direction. The tulip-shaped seat comprises a bottom portion that has a through-opening shaped and dimensioned to receive the bone screw so that an inner surface of the bottom portion engages the spherical head of the bone screw and prevents the bone screw from passing entirely through the through-opening, while the spherical head remains polyaxially rotatable within the bottom portion of the tulip-shaped seat. The rod seat sits within and engages the inner surface of the tulip-shaped seat and the rod seat comprises a semispherical bottom that is shaped and dimensioned to engage the spherical head of the bone screw while the spherical head remains polyaxially rotatable within the bottom portion of the tulip-shaped seat. The washer is ring-shaped and comprises a through-opening shaped and dimensioned to receive the threaded elongated body of the bone screw and an upper portion shaped and dimensioned to snappably-engage an outer surface of the tulip-shaped seat.
