Abstract: A clip-on reducer tool assembly for seating a spinal fixation rod in a rod receiving implant, the tool assembly has an outer sleeve. The outer sleeve has a proximal end with a cylindrical portion having a threaded opening, a first leg extension extending therefrom to a distal end, and a second leg extension joined to the first leg extension at an intermediate location between the distal end and proximal end. The second leg extension extends from the distal end toward the proximal end to a lever end spaced from the cylindrical portion. The leg extensions at the distal end have grasping members to engage an outer surface of a rod receiving implant and a fulcrum proximally located near the intermediate location configured to enlarge the space between the leg extension at the distal end as the lever end is depressed inwardly relative to a longitudinal axis of the outer sleeve.

Abstract: Orthopedic device caddies and kits including orthopedic device caddies. In one example, the orthopedic device caddy includes a caddy body, an elongated opening extending into the caddy body including an alignment portion and an orthopedic device retention portion. The orthopedic device retention portion of the elongated opening holds an orthopedic device having an orthopedic device engagement feature. The alignment portion of the elongated opening aligns an instrument engagement feature of an orthopedic instrument relative to the orthopedic device engagement feature.

Abstract: An orthopedic implant which generally includes a frame structure and a porous structure. Both the frame and porous structure at least partially define at least six surfaces which make a three-dimensional profile of the implant. The porous structure is positioned at least partially within the three-dimensional profile.

Abstract: A modular tulip assembly has a rod receiving tulip and a saddle. The saddle is interlockingly held inside a distal portion of the tulip. The saddle has a locking projection. The tulip has a pair of grooves or recesses. The locking projection is positioned into the proximal tulip groove or recess and holds the saddle in a pre-loaded unlocked state ready to be pushed onto a head of an implanted bone screw. Upon receiving the head of the bone screw, the saddle can be moved distally relative to the tulip to a locked state by moving the locking projection distally into the distal tulip locking groove or recess.

Abstract: A screw extension assembly for use in minimally invasive spinal surgery, the assembly has an inner slotted shaft and an outer shaft, a rod reducer and a removable nut. The combination when assembled is configured to move a spinal fixation rod into a slotted rod receiving spinal implant where it is seated and affixed thereto. The screw extension assembly further has a locking knob rotationally coupled to a proximal end of the outer shaft, wherein the inner shaft has one or more cam grooves and the locking knob has a pin extending into and guided by said cam groove causing the outer shaft to translate longitudinally upon rotation of the locking knob relative to the inner shaft toward an engaged position locking the deflectable legs in the coupled position to the slotted rod receiving implant.
