Abstract: A pedicle screw system applicable to affixation medical systems is provided. The system comprises a screw tulip comprising a rod receiving channel configured to receive a spinal rod, a shank configured to anchor the screw tulip and spinal to a pedicle. A bushing disposed between an interior surface of the screw tulip and a first end of the shank, wherein the first side of the bushing channel is defined by a top edge of a first wall of the bushing, a second side of the bushing channel is defined by a top edge of a second wall of the bushing, and the bushing channel is set at an angle defined by the top edge of the first wall and the top edge of the second wall.

Abstract: This disclosure presents a polyaxial pedicle screw system. The system may comprise one or more of a screw body, a screw insert, a head component, a bushing, and/or other components. The screw body may have a major diameter. The screw insert may comprise a spherical head having a head diameter. The head component may have an axial bore forming an interior surface which defines a bore diameter of the axial bore. The interior surface may define a narrowest part of the bore diameter of the axial bore at a first end of the head component. The head diameter of the spherical head of the screw insert and/or the major diameter of the screw body may be larger than the narrowest part of bore diameter of the axial bore.

Abstract: The invention is a modular interbody fusion device for fusing adjacent spinal vertebrae that is adapted to be implanted in a prepared interbody space including a first modular segment having a width including a first rail extending at least partially along one side of the width and beyond a periphery of a body portion of the first modular segment, a second modular segment having a width and slidably connected to the first rail on one side of the width and having a second rail extending at least partially along another side of the width and beyond a periphery of a body portion of the second modular segment, a third modular segment having a width and slidably connected to the second rail on one side of the width and wherein the device has an expanded position in which the second and third modular segments are extended along the first and second rails and positioned in a generally end to end configuration spaced apart by the rails prior to implantation and an implanted position in which the modular segments are
