Abstract:
A surgical implant device (100) for controlling the movement between a first bone or tissue portion and a second bone or tissue portion includes a first elongated member (102) connectable for movement with the first bone or tissue, portion and a second elongated member (108) connectable for movement with the first bone or tissue portion. The first elongated member and the second elongated member are connected by a flexible joint (210) configured to allow the first elongated member to pivot, move axially, and/or rotate relative to the second elongated member. At least one resilient member (240) is associated with the flexible joint to resist relative movement of the first elongated member relative to the second elongated member.
Abstract:
A surgical implant device (310) that controls the relative movement between a first bone or tissue portion and a second bone or tissue portion. The device has a first connector member (340) connected for movement with the first bone or tissue portion and a second connector member (360) connected for movement with the second bone or tissue portion. A biasing member (388) pivotally connects the first connector member to the second connector member and resists the relative rotation between the first connector member and the second connector member.

Abstract:
A spinal implant may be used to stabilize a portion of a spine. The implant may promote bone growth between adjacent vertebrae that fuses the vertebrae together. An implant may include an opening through a height of a body of the implant. The body of the implant may include curved sides. A top and/or a bottom of the implant may include protrusions that contact and/or engage vertebral surfaces to prevent backout of the implant from the disc space. A variety of instruments may be used to prepare a disc space and insert an implant. The instruments may include, but are not limited to, a distractor, a rasp, and one or more guides. The implant and instruments may be supplied in an instrument kit.
