Abstract: A spinal fixation system includes an interbody and a plate. The interbody defines at least one locking aperture. The plate includes a front surface, a back surface, and at least one locking projection extending from the back surface. The at least one locking projection is removably engaged with the at least one locking aperture such that the plate is removably coupled to the interbody.

Abstract: A bone plate and one or more locking assemblies that help prevent screw backout without impinging on therapeutically valuable settling of the screws. In some cases, the locking assembly is configured to be attached to the plate, to be securely but efficiently locked, to be readily unlocked for revision surgery, and/or to reduce the possibility of operator error in installation by providing simplified visible and tactile indicia of the locked and unlocked positions.

Abstract: A bone plate assembly includes a bone plate and a rotatable lock. The bone plate includes a superior surface, an inferior surface, and at least one screw through-hole that is configured to receive a bone screw. The bone plate includes a locking cavity that defined in the superior surface. The locking cavity includes a bottom surface that is recessed relative to the superior surface, and also includes a post that extends upwards from the bottom surface. The rotatable lock is supported on the post such that the rotatable lock is at least partially within the locking cavity.

Abstract: A cervical plate and one or more locking assemblies that help prevent screw backout without impinging on therapeutically valuable settling of the screws. In some cases, the locking assembly is configured to be permanently attached to the plate, to be securely but efficiently locked, to be readily unlocked for revision surgery, and/or to reduce the possibility of operator error in installation by providing simplified visible and tactile indicia of the locked and unlocked positions.

Abstract: A bone plate holder apparatus having a hollow shaft, two or more prongs at a working end, and a rod slidingly disposed within the shaft can be attached with a bone plate such that the prongs interact with a fenestration in the bone plate. When the rod is depressed between the prongs, working surfaces of the prongs grip the interior surfaces of the fenestration, causing the bone plate holder apparatus to lock to the bone plate. Bone plate holder systems including a bone plate holder apparatus and bone plate can be used to install a bone plate in a surgical site in a patient, and the locking and unlocking functionality of the bone plate holder apparatus can permit adjustment of an angle of the bone plate holder apparatus relative to the bone plate with ease during surgery.

Abstract: An intervertebral implant for supporting vertebrae that includes an anterior end element, a posterior end element, and four wings disposed between the anterior end element and the posterior end element. The four wings and the anterior and posterior end elements define a substantially open central space. The wings are arranged in pairs facing in opposed directions and include teeth facing in those opposed directions for gripping substantially planar surfaces at opposite sides of the implant.
