Patent number: 11896497Abstract: Disclosed is an assembly and method for implant installation between adjacent vertebral bodies of a patient. The implant has a support body and a rotatable insert therein and the support body is curved for installation between adjacent vertebral bodies transforaminally. An installation instrument is also disclosed for removable attachment to implant and engagement with the rotatable insert to selectively permit rotation between the insert and the support body. The installation instrument extends along a longitudinal tool axis and when the installation instrument is in a first position the insert is rotationally fixed with respect to the support body and when the installation instrument is in a second position the support body may rotate with respect to the insert.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2021Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: Globus Medical, Inc.Inventors: Noah Hansell, Marcin Niemiec, William S. Rhoda, Michael Meccariello

Publication number: 20160166296Abstract: The present invention relates to stable fixation of spine segments, allowing for fusion in, e.g., skeletally mature patients. More particularly, the invention relates to a bone fixation device that can be affixed to vertebrae of a spine to provide reduction (or enlargement) capabilities and allow for fixation in the treatment of various conditions, including, e.g., spondyloslisthesis, degenerative disc disease, fracture, dislocation, spinal tumor, failed previous fusion, and the like, in the spine. The invention also relates to a method for delivering and implanting the bone fixation device.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 27, 2012Publication date: June 16, 2016Inventors: Brad Juchno, Michael Meccariello, Kurt Faulhaber
