    摘要: An expandable implant may include a superior endplate and an inferior endplate. The superior endplate may have at least one track extending in a proximal-to-distal direction and an inferior endplate may have at least one track extending in the proximal-to-distal direction. An adjusting shim may be disposed within the at least one track to adjust a spacing and angle of inclination of the implant. Some embodiments may include a plurality of tracks for adjusting a spacing and an angle of inclination between the superior endplate and the inferior endplate. Some embodiments may be configured to adjust an orientation of the implant relative to a disc space in both the sagittal plane and the coronal plane. Various embodiments disclosed herein may be used in an Anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF), Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF), or a lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion (LLIF) procedure, for example.

    摘要: A system and method are provided for positioning of an emitter and a receiver of an imaging device relative to an area of interest of a patient supported on a surgical frame to facilitate capturing of a desired image of the area of interest. During use of the system and method, the area of interest can be identified using images of the patient generated prior to surgery, at least one optical navigation marker can be placed on skin of the patient adjacent the area of interest, a physical distance between two reference points on the surgical frame can be measured, and images of the patient positioned on the surgical frame can be captured using an optical camera system. A location of the optical navigation marker adjacent the area of interest in an X, Y, and Z coordinate system can be determined using the captured images of the patient and at least one ratio to the measured physical distance, the emitter and the receiver can be moved into position relative to the optical navigation marker adjacent the area of interest using the determined location thereof in the X, Y, and Z coordinate system, and use of an electromagnetic imaging technique can be initiated using the emitter and the receiver to produce the desired image of the area of interest. The system and method can be used in limiting the need for a multitude of uses of the fluoroscopy apparatus by positioning the emitter and the receiver in an ideal position relative to the area of interest.

    摘要: A surgical frame and method for use thereof is provided. The surgical frame is capable of reconfiguration before, during, or after surgery. The surgical frame includes a main beam that can be rotated, raised/lowered, and tilted upwardly/downwardly to afford positioning and repositioning of a patient supported thereon. The surgical frame also includes a reconfigurable upper leg support for supporting portions of the upper legs, the hips, and the lower back of the patient to facilitate positioning and repositioning there during surgery. The upper leg support via reconfiguration thereof can accommodate patients of different sizes, can provide flexure of the patient's lumbar spine to facilitate surgical access thereto, and can prevent unwanted torsion of a patient's spine during such reconfiguration.
