    摘要: An apparatus for anulus fibrosus repair includes a shaft, a pair of curved suturing needles mounted in parallel on the shaft, and a rotational driving mechanism connected to the shaft, which is configured to rotate the shaft and the pair of needles about a rotation axis of the shaft. Each needle includes a substantially semi-annular body having a proximal end, a distal end, an inner periphery, and an outer periphery, and an arm extending radially inward from the proximal end, in which a concavity is formed in the body proximate to the distal end extending in a direction away from it. Also disclosed is a suturing technique associated with use of the repair apparatus.

    摘要: A spinal fixation assembly includes a pedicle rod and pedicle screws which secure the pedicle rod to the spine. Each pedicle screw includes a head configured to receive a portion of the pedicle rod, and a threaded portion extending from a first end of the head and configured to engage a vertebra. The pedicle rod is secured to the head by a fastener. The head includes a breakaway region that defines a location in which at least a first portion of the head can be easily separated from the remainder of the head upon application of sufficient force to the first portion. A minimally invasive method of implanting the spinal fixation assembly is disclosed.

    摘要: A bone awl is provided for preparing a bone for implantation with a screw. The awl includes a shaft having a first end and a second end opposed to the first end. A handle is fixed to the first end, and an extension extends from the second end. The extension includes a first cutting portion configured to form a hole in bone and a second cutting portion configured to form an internal screw thread in the bone along the surface of the hole. The awl also includes an axial through passage that extends from the handle to the first cutting portion and is dimensioned to receive a Kirshner pin therein.
