Patent number: 11701151Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides for a system, such as a cervical plate fusion system, that has mechanisms for preventing bone anchors (e.g., screws, pins, and the like) from backing out of the plate. The system prevents both counter-rotation of the screw and axial backing out of the screw. Other embodiments are described herein.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2020Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: Genesys SpineInventors: Joshua Kaufmann, Scott Bryant, Greg Calbert, Brian Bergeron, Landon Gilkey, John Stokes, Matthew Geck
