Abstract: An expandable fusion cage has an elongated cage body with a central hollow region, a posterior end and an anterior end with first and second anterior end portions in communication with the central hollow region, a first longitudinal member and a second longitudinal space from and substantially parallel to the first longitudinal member extending between the posterior end and the first anterior end portion, and a cam body having a cam surface on a periphery of the cam body and a cam adjusting feature facing the central hollow region where the cam body is positioned between the first anterior end portion and the second anterior end portion and is adapted to rotatably engage the cam surface with the first anterior end portion and the second anterior end portion to change the orientation of the anterior end of the cage body between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration.

Abstract: An electronically guided spinal rod system for the placement of a spinal rod into the heads of pedicle screws and other types of bone fixation systems includes a bone screw inserter having rod access slots extending longitudinally for a length along the screw inserter, a rod detection system coupled to the rod access slots and a rod pusher for inserting a spinal rod through the rod access slots. The electronically guided spinal rod system insures that the spinal rod will be accurately positioned while allowing the operator complete freedom to choose its specific path into the screw inserter rod access slots.

Abstract: A bone loss plate for the rigid fixation of a bone having a bone gap where portions of the bone are absent, the plate includes an elongated fixation plate having a first plate side, a second plate side, a proximal portion, a distal portion, and a middle portion and a tubularly-shaped containment cage connected to the second plate side of the elongated fixation plate, the tubular containment cage having a length shorter than the elongated fixation plate.

Abstract: A pop-up educational toy for a child includes a housing having a display platform, an actuator mechanism coupled to the housing and operably connected to the display platform, and a display attached to the display platform and having a display area for interchangeably receiving items that have unique personal meaning to the child where the display changes from a non-stimulatory arrangement to a stimulatory arrangement when the actuator mechanism is activated by the child.

Abstract: Interior connecting interbody cage insertional tools, methods and devices are provided wherein the same can be utilized for making placement of interbody cages more accurate, safer and less likely to violate the structural integrity of the interbody cage while providing support to a leading end of the cage as the leading end re-capitulates or distracts the disc space as the cage is inserted.
