Abstract: A surgical implant and a surgical kit. The surgical implant has a body having at least one interior surface, the body forming a peripheral support for the implant. The surgical implant has a porous insert comprised of a porous material, having at least one axially-extending hole, and attached to the body along the at least one interior surface such that the porous material extends across a height of the body. The porous insert has a locking mechanism formed in the porous insert or extending from the porous insert, the locking mechanism minimizing movement of the porous insert from within the body. The surgical kit includes the surgical implant and an intervertebral insertion device.

Abstract: A surgical implant and a surgical kit. The surgical implant has a body portion comprising a first hole formed in an exterior surface of the body portion, a second hole adjacent the first hole, and at least one through-hole within the body portion and extending entirely thought a depth of the body portion extending entirely thought a depth of the body portion. The implant has a central opening abutting the body portion and extending through the body portion. The first hole has a first sidewall and a first cavity in the body portion, the second hole has a second sidewall and a second cavity in the body portion, and the first cavity and the second cavity have an interconnected opening there between. The surgical kit includes the surgical implant and an intervertebral insertion device.

Abstract: An occipital plate and hinged rod assembly. The occipital plate having a screw-attachment section having through holes for securing the occipital plate to a skull, a laterally-extending section, a tulip connector, a slide clip disposed underneath the laterally-extending section and engaging a base of the tulip connector, and an insert ring encompassing side walls of tulip connector. The laterally-extending section, the tulip connector, the slide clip, and the insert ring have respective surfaces with complementary curvatures that fit together. The hinged rod assembly is connected to the occipital plate by rods.
