Patent number: 9848922Abstract: A method is provided for correcting a curvature or deformity in a patient's spine based on the digitized locations of implanted screws and tracking the placement of the rod as it is placed in a minimally invasive fashion. The method is implemented by a control unit through a GUI to digitize screw locations, accept one or more correction outputs, and generate one or more rod solution outputs shaped to fit at locations distinct from the implanted screw locations.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2014Date of Patent: December 26, 2017Assignee: NuVasive, Inc.Inventors: Antoine G. Tohmeh, Thomas Scholl

Patent number: 9226834Abstract: A spinal fusion implant of non-bone construction to be introduced into any variety of spinal target sites. The spinal fusion implant of the present invention includes a top surface, a bottom surface, first and second lateral sides, a proximal (posterior) end and a distal (anterior) end. The spinal fusion implant of the present invention may be used to provide temporary or permanent fixation within an orthopedic target site. To do so, the spinal fusion implant may be introduced into a disc space while locked to a surgical insertion instrument and thereafter employed in the proper orientation and released. Once deposited in the disc space, the spinal fusion implant of the present invention effects spinal fusion over time as the natural healing process integrates and binds the implant.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2011Date of Patent: January 5, 2016Assignee: NuVasive, Inc.Inventor: Antoine G. Tohmeh

Patent number: 8936626Abstract: Surgical systems and methods are disclosed for safe bi-cortical bone screw placement within a bone segment. Included is a method of measurement to control advancement of instruments and implants to repeatedly obtain bi-cortical screw fixation while minimizing protrusion of the lead end of the screw beyond the distal cortical wall therein reducing incidence of injury to adjacent soft tissues.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2013Date of Patent: January 20, 2015Assignee: NuVasive, Inc.Inventors: Antoine G.
