    Abstract: An inter-transverse process spacer device for placement between two adjacent transverse processes, includes a spacer member with deformable first and second ends and may include a connector. The inter-transverse process spacer device may also include a flexible, fillable container for containing an injectable material that is compressible following implantation. The container is impermeable to the material it will be filled with. A structural mesh, for example, made of PET fabric and interwoven shape-memory alloy wire, provides structure for and containment of the container, as well as shape control of the inter-transverse process spacer device. The material can be injected into the container through a conduit. The inter-transverse process spacer device is sized and configured to allow for placement between adjacent transverse processes to produce a lateral force for correcting a spinal deformity. A method for correcting a spinal deformity using the inter-transverse process spacer device is also disclosed.

    Abstract: An interspinous spacer for placement between adjacent spinous processes includes a flexible, fillable container (e.g., a bag or balloon) for containing a material that is compressible during end use, for example, silicone after curing. The container is impermeable to the material it will be filled with. A fabric mesh, for example, made of PET fabric, provides structure for and containment of the container. The material can be injected into the container through an optional conduit, for example, a one-way valve.

    Abstract: An intervertebral process brace is disclosed and can include a frame that can support a first vertebral process and a second vertebral process. The intervertebral process brace can also include a first vertebral process support strap that can span a first portion of the frame. The first vertebral process support strap can engage the first vertebral process and bind the first vertebral process between the first vertebral process support strap and the first portion of the frame.

    Abstract: A retaining mechanism (30, 130) engages a bone fastener (60, 160) to a bone plate (12) as the bone fastener (60, 160) is positioned through a retaining mechanism (30, 130) in a plate hole while preserving multi-axial capabilities of the fastener (60, 160) relative to the plate (12) during insertion of the fastener (60, 160). When the head (66, 166) of the fastener (60, 160) is positioned adjacent the plate (12), the head (66, 166) can optionally be received in the retaining mechanism (30, 130) and expand the retaining mechanism (30, 130) to fixedly engage the retaining mechanism (30, 130) into locking engagement with the plate (12) and lock the bone fastener (60, 160) in position relative to the plate (12). In another form, the multi-axial capabilities of the bone fastener (60, 160) is preserved or at least partially preserved when the bone fastener (60, 160) is finally positioned in the retaining mechanism (30, 130).
