    Abstract: An insertion tool (100) for positioning intervertebral spacers into disc spaces. The insertion tool has a proximal end (102) and a distal end (104), a T-handle (106) secured to the proximal end (102) and a pair of alignment rails extending from the distal end (104). The insertion tool (100) includes a handle secured to the proximal end of the guide rails (116A, 116B), and a shaft (110) that extends through the handle, whereby the shaft has a threaded portion that extends to the T-handle (106). The insertion tool (100) also includes a blocker (118) that is secured to the distal end of the shaft (110). The blocker (118) includes stop arms that guide the blocker (118) through the guide rails (116A, 116B) and toward the distal end of the shaft. The blocker (118) may be provided in a plurality of different sizes corresponding to the sizes of the implants to be inserted into a disc space.

    Abstract: An intervertebral stabilization device (12, 170) and method is disclosed. The device (12, 170) preferably includes a planar spring (20, 180) enclosed within a housing (22, 172) . The housing (122, 172) is joined to an articulation component (24, 25, 174, 175) at either end, and the articulation components (24, 25, 174, 175) have couplings (28, 178) connectable to anchoring components (19) which are securable to adjacent vertebrae. The planar spring (20, 180) can flex and retract providing relative motion between the adjacent vertebrae. The articulation components (24, 25, 174, 175) are ball and socket joints which allow the entire assembly to flexibly follow the curvature of the spine. A fusion rod (162) with articulation components and couplings (164) at either end may be substituted for the spring device. The couplings enable interchangeability between a fusion rod (162) assembly and spring assembly (12, 170) , so that dynamic stabilization can occur at one vertebral level and fusion at the adjacent vertebral level. An overhung spring assembly (250) with a sideways displaced housing (254) which allows for a shorter pedicle to pedicle displacement is also disclosed.

    Abstract: Anatomic points within the body are projected outside the body through the use of extenders (180, 182, 188). The projected points may then be used for measurement, or to facilitate the selection or configuration of an implant that is to be positioned proximate the anatomic points. Such an implant may be a rod (270) for a posterior spinal fusion system. Pedicle screws (140, 142, 148) may be implanted into pedicles of the spine, and may then serve as anchors for the extenders. The extenders (180, 182, 188) may have rod interfaces (214, 216, 218) that receive the rod (270) in a manner that mimics the geometry of the pedicle screws (140, 142, 148) so that the selected or configured contoured rod (270) will properly fit into engagement with the pedicle screws (140, 142, 148).

    Abstract: A device for use as a portal in percutaneous minimally invasive surgery performed within a patient's body cavity includes a first elongated hollow tube (94a) having a length adjusted with a self-contained mechanism. The first elongated tube (94a) includes an inner hollow tube (120) and an outer hollow tube (110) and the inner tube (120) is adapted to slide within the outer tube (110) thereby providing the self-contained length adjusting mechanism. This length-adjustment feature is advantageous for percutaneous access surgery in any body cavity. Two or more elongated tubes with adjustable lengths can be placed into two or more adjacent body cavities, respectively. Paths are opened within the tissue areas between the two or more body cavities, and are used to transfer devices and tools between the adjacent body cavities. This system of two or more elongated tubes with adjustable lengths is particularly advantageous in percutaneous minimally invasive spinal surgeries, and provides the benefits of minimizing long incisions, recovery time and post-operative complications.
