Abstract: A spinal stabilization system may include at least one pedicle screw comprising a threaded base to be connected to a superior pedicle of a vertebra and a screw head attached to the threaded base. The system may further include at least one pars interarticularis clamp comprising an elongate body defining a screw head connection point to be connected to the screw head of the pedicle screw, and a laminar hook coupled to the elongate body and configured to wrap around an edge of the lamina and compress the pars interarticularis of the vertebra when the screw head connection point is connected to the screw head.

Abstract: A method may include, using an electrode lead(s) having a proximal end and a distal end and comprising spaced apart electrodes carried by the distal end, positioning the electrodes adjacent nerves in a patient; using a subcutaneous lead connector plug comprising a housing electrically connected to the proximal end of the electrode lead(s) and defining a lead connection port(s) and an anchor point(s), positioning the housing along with the proximal end of the electrode lead(s) inside the patient; connecting the anchor point(s) to tissue beneath the patient's skin and, using a first generator lead having a distal end and a proximal end, plugging the distal end of the first generator lead into the lead connector port(s); and connecting the proximal end of the first generator lead to a first neural stimulation generator, and operating the first neural stimulation generator to provide electrical stimulation to the nerves via the electrodes.

Abstract: A neural stimulation system may include an electrode lead(s) having a proximal end and a distal end, with the electrode lead(s) including a plurality of spaced apart electrodes carried by the distal end to be positioned adjacent a nerve(s) in a patient. A subcutaneous lead connector plug including a housing electrically connected to the proximal end of the electrode lead(s) may be positioned with the electrode lead(s) inside the patient beneath the patient's skin, with the housing defining a lead connection port(s), and an anchor point(s) carried by the housing. The system may also include a generator lead(s) having a distal end configured to be removably plugged into and electrically connected with the lead connector port(s), and a proximal end. A neural stimulation generator may be electrically connected to the proximal end of the generator lead(s) and configured to provide electrical stimulation to the nerve(s) via the plurality of electrodes.

Abstract: A related bone screw system may include a threaded base configured to be screwed into a bone, and a first head carried by the threaded base and defining a first channel therein. The first channel may be configured to receive a first support rod, and the first head may have first internal threads within the first channel. The bone screw device may further include a second head comprising a threaded base configured to be threadably coupled with the first inner threads to secure the first support rod within the first channel of the first screw head, and an articulating head coupled to the threaded base and defining a second channel therein configured to receive a second support rod. The articulating head may be configured for polyaxial movement relative to the threaded base.

Abstract: A surgical method is for at least one ilium having an iliac crest and inner and outer tables on opposing sides of the iliac crest. The method may include inserting at least one base into the ilium, where the at least one base has a channel therein. The method may further include inserting a support member through the ilium and through the channel of the at least one base so that the support member extends between the inner and outer tables, and securing the support member to the at least one base.
