Abstract: An apparatus and method related to a collet for a spinal screw are described herein. In some embodiments, such an apparatus includes a screw, a movable head comprising a top portion and a bottom portion, a concave interior larger than a screw head, a connecting rod, a locking element screw, and a collet interposed between the screw head and the concave interior of the movable head, where the collet comprises a flexible hinge, and where the collet reduces axial compression force transferred from the set screw to the screw head.

Abstract: A bone screw apparatus and method. The bone screw may include one or more bone collecting channels. The channels may include one or more cutting edges/surfaces. The bone screw channels may capture a variety of displaced bone materials. The bone screw may have a reduced insertion torque. The one or more bone collecting channels may have a curved bottom.

Abstract: A bone anchor insertion device for delivering one or more bone anchor components into bone is provided. The insertion device improves surgical control in bone anchor location, placement and insertion into target bone. The bone anchor insertion device also improves efficiency in placing the bone anchor. The surgical instrument provides improved control of stylet location and orientation, including directional control for precise bone anchor component insertion. Methods to use the bone anchor insertion device in surgical procedures are also provided.

Abstract: A spinal screw assembly is provided. The assembly may be provided with a screw and a movable head in which angulation of the screw relative to the movable head is constrained so that angulation within limits is allowed in one plane but lesser or no angulation is allowed in another plane. Methods to assemble the disclosed apparatus are also disclosed.
