Abstract: The present invention relates to a spinal fusion cage which is inserted between vertebral bodies at the lowest height and is height-adjustable in the inserted state, and has improved fixing strength by insertion of a bone screw through an end plate, wherein cages having heights within a predetermined range can be replaced by a single cage. Therefore, manufacturers can reduce the number of product groups that need to be produced, and can also reduce product stock. In addition, unlike the conventional cages having preset heights at regular intervals, the height can be linearly adjusted according to the distance between the vertebral bodies of a patient, and thus surgery can be performed using the cage adjusted to an optimum height according to the patient’s condition.

Abstract: The present invention provides a cage holder for a spinal fusion cage which is mounted on the spinal fusion cage, thereby allowing the spinal fusion cage to be stably inserted between vertebral bodies. The cage holder may be engaged with the spinal fusion cage to insert the spinal fusion cage between the vertebral bodies at the lowest height, and may be reliably separated from the spinal fusion cage after the surgery. In addition, when mounting the cage holder on a height adjustable spinal fusion cage, the cage holder may visually indicate an amount of change in the height of the spinal fusion cage.

Abstract: The present invention provides a spinal fusion cage that can be inserted between vertebral bodies at the lowest height, and the height thereof may be adjusted with being inserted, such that cages having different heights within a certain range may be replaced by one cage. Therefore, the number of product groups that should be produced is reduced and the amount in stock is also decreased on the manufacturer. In addition, unlike the cage having a predetermined height at a constant interval in the prior art, the height of the spinal fusion cage is linearly adjusted according to a spacing between vertebral bodies of a patient, such that the surgery may be performed at the optimal height according to spinal conditions of the patient.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a surgical screw capable of self-locking and a fusion device using the same. The screw includes: a screw body having a body main thread formed on an outer circumferential surface thereof, a body locking thread spaced apart from the body main thread with an offset portion interposed therebetween, and a body driving groove formed in the upper portion thereof; and a sleeve having a sleeve thread formed on an inner circumferential surface thereof to be screwed with the body locking thread, and a sleeve stopper spaced downwards from the sleeve thread so as to support the body locking thread. The surgical screw may also be included in a fusion device in a different form by coupling with a plate or a cage.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a surgical screw capable of self-locking and a fusion device using the same. The surgical screw includes: a screw body having a body thread formed on an outer circumferential surface thereof, and a body driving groove formed in an upper portion thereof; and a head part rotatably fixed with respect to the screw body so as to be moved in an axial direction of the screw body, wherein, when the head part rotates relative to the screw body, the head part is spaced apart from the screw body with a predetermined distance, thereby causing the threads of the head part and the screw body to become discontinuous, and thus the surgical screw is brought into a locked state. The surgical screw may also be included in a fusion device in a different form by coupling with a plate or a cage.

Abstract: The present invention provides a bone fusion device which allows a distant bone body in a surgery direction to be pulled toward an adjacent bone body in the surgery direction while fusing the adjacent bone bodies. The bone fusion device includes a bone screw which includes a shank having an elongated shape with a circular cross-section, a screw thread formed on one end portion of the shank, and an adjustment female thread formed in the other end portion of the shank; a washer which includes a through hole into which the other end portion of the shank is inserted, and has a cross-sectional area larger than that of the bone screw; and an adjustment screw having an adjustment male thread screwed with the adjustment female thread of the bone screw through a through hole of the washer.
