Patent number: 8506636Abstract: A vertebral body replacement or spacer that re-creates a lordosis angle (or other angle) of a human spine. An embodiment of the spacer may comprise contoured superior and inferior bearing surfaces. More particularly, the contoured surfaces may be defined by compound curves such as two radii substantially orthogonal to each other. As a result, the bearing surfaces may conform to the convex end plates of adjacent vertebra. In another embodiment, the present invention may provide a method of establishing a lordosis angle. The method may comprise inserting a spacer into an intervertebral space and positioning the spacer in such a manner that the contoured surfaces generally correspond to the end plates of the adjacent vertebra. However, the spacers and methods of the embodiments of the present invention may be used to re-create other angles in the human spine.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2007Date of Patent: August 13, 2013Assignee: Theken Spine, LLCInventor: Justin Dye

Patent number: 7988695Abstract: An articulated delivery instrument for the proper positioning and placements of inserts, for example, an insert such as a lumbar interbody fusion device (“LIF”). The instrument may comprise a body and a first member slidingly coupled to the body. A rotating member for releasably retaining an insert may be pivotally coupled to a distal end of the body and the first member. A first actuator may function to translate the first member relative to the body. Translation of the first member relative to the body may rotate the rotating member relative to the instrument. A second actuator may function to transition the rotating member between release and retention of the insert.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2006Date of Patent: August 2, 2011Assignee: Theken Spine, LLCInventor: Justin Dye

Patent number: 7976549Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system are provided to place an insert in a space between boney structures. The insert may be rotatably coupled to the delivery instrument. The delivery instrument may comprise a body and an articulating member. The articulating member may slidably interact with the insert to rotate the insert about a pivot point. A first actuator is operatively coupled to the articulating member such that actuating the first actuator translates the articulating member relative to the body. An engagement member may be coupled to the body and adapted to releasably and rotatably secure the insert to the delivery instrument. The articulating member and the engagement member may be offset from each other in such a manner that when the articulating member engages the insert, the insert rotates relative to the delivery instrument. Alternatively, the insert may be coupled to the delivery instrument via rotatable attachment members.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2007Date of Patent: July 12, 2011Assignee: Theken Spine, LLCInventors: Justin Dye, Noelle Dye, Dennis Colleran

Publication number: 20080065082Abstract: Instruments and methods are provided for inserting a rasp into an intervertebral space of a spine and using the rasp to decorticate the adjacent vertebra. More particularly, one embodiment provides an instrument that actively changes the angle of the rasp relative to the instrument. The delivery instrument may use a gear portion to articulate the rasp. A second gear on the rasp may mate with a corresponding gear on the instrument. As the instrument gear rotates relative to the instrument, the instrument gear drives the rasp gear, thereby rotating the rasp to decorticate the vertebra. Trial inserts and methods are also provided to determine an appropriate size of a rasp for decortication.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2007Publication date: March 13, 2008Inventors: Narissa Chang, Justin Dye
