    Abstract: Implementations described herein include devices and systems for attenuation of increased spinal flexion loads post-fusion that include a transition member. The transition member may have a tension component coupleable to a fused vertebra of a plurality of fused vertebra of a fusion implant and to an adjacent unfused vertebra. The tension component may be tensionable to a selected value. The tension component may modulate a flexion range of motion of the adjacent unfused vertebra as a function of the selected value of tension of the tension component. The transition member may attenuate spinal flexion loads on adjacent unfused vertebra post-operatively.

    Abstract: An implant-trialing instrument for objectively determining a recommended implant size based at least in part on results of inserting a pressure sensitive trial implant into the intervertebral space. The trial implant instrument can include a handle coupled to a pressure sensitive trial. The handle can include an elongate shaft. The pressure sensitive trial implant can be disposed on a distal end of the elongate shaft and include a superior end plate surface configured to engage a first end plate of a first vertebral body and an inferior end plate configured to engage a second end plate of a second vertebral body. The pressure sensitive trial implant also includes a pressure sensitive film disposed on at least one of the superior end plate and the inferior end plate.

    Abstract: Various implants and surgical techniques for dynamic spinal tethering systems are discussed. In an example, a spinal tethering system can comprise a flexible elongate spinal tethering cord and a plurality of vertebral implants connecting the cord across at least four spinal levels. In this example, each vertebral implant of the plurality of vertebral implants can include a dynamic head coupling each vertebral implant to the cord. The dynamic head of each vertebral implant can be configured to share cord tension across multiple spinal levels by releasing a first tension generated at a first level between two vertebral implants of the plurality of vertebral implants to generate a second tension across two spinal levels between three vertebral implants of the plurality of vertebral implants, wherein the second tension is lower than the first tension.

    Abstract: An implant-trialing instrument for objectively determining a recommended implant size based at least in part on pressure sensor measurements can include a handle and an adjustable implant trial. The handle can include an elongate body and an adjustment input. The adjustable implant trial can be disposed on a distal end of the elongate body and be adapted to expand within an intervertebral space in response to input from the adjustment input, the adjustable implant trial can include a measurement sensor configured to output an objective measure of intervertebral disc space correlated to implant size. A method of utilizing the implant-trialing instrument can include operations such as distracting the adjustable trialing mechanism, determining whether the pressure measurement satisfies a pre-defined pressure criterion, and recommending an implant size.
