  • RODS WITH ELECTRICAL STIMULATION FOR PROMOTING BONE FUSION
    Publication number: 20210101002
    Abstract: Systems and methods for fusing vertebrae and systems and methods for repairing a bone defect employ a fixation assembly and current delivered to the fixation assembly to electrically stimulate osteogenesis in tissue surrounding the fixation assembly. An implantable system for fusing vertebrae includes a fixation assembly and an implantable stimulation unit. The fixation assembly includes an elongated rod configured to accommodate bone ingrowth. The fixation assembly is configured to structurally couple at least two of the two or more vertebrae via the elongated rod. The implantable stimulation unit is configured to supply electrical current to the elongated rod to promote bone ingrowth into the elongated rod.
