  • Publication number: 20230255775
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a bone implant for percutaneous use is provided. The bone implant comprises a head, a body adjacent to the head and a tip opposite the head. At least the head, body or tip is configured to contact bone. An expandable member contacts at least one of the head, tip or body and is movable from an unexpanded configuration to an expanded configuration when deployed at a bone implant site. In some embodiments, a system for percutaneous bone harvesting is provided.

  • Patent number: 11399965
    Abstract: A surgical system includes a trial connected with a first image guide oriented relative to a sensor to communicate a signal representative of the trial relative to a patient anatomy. A tracking device includes the sensor and communicates with a processor to generate a storable image of the trial relative to the patient anatomy for display from a monitor. A spinal implant is connected with a second image guide oriented relative to the sensor to communicate a signal representative of the spinal implant relative to the patient anatomy. The sensor receives the signal of the second image guide and communicates with the processor to generate an image of the spinal implant in real time for display from the monitor in a configuration to align the spinal implant in real time with the stored image of the trial. In some embodiments, methods, spinal constructs, implants and surgical instruments are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11285022
    Abstract: A spinal implant template includes a shaft extending along an axis between a proximal end and a distal end. An engagement portion is configured for insertion between vertebrae of a patient. The engagement portion includes a rod extending from the distal end at an acute angle relative to the longitudinal axis to facilitate ease of entry around a spinal cord of the patient. Systems, surgical instruments, spinal implants and methods are disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20210068985
    Abstract: A method comprises the steps of: imaging at least one trial with a patient anatomy; acquiring data points representative of an image of the at least one trial selectively positioned relative to the patient anatomy; displaying the image from a computer monitor; imaging at least one spinal implant with the patient anatomy; and aligning the at least one spinal implant with the image via a display from the computer monitor. Systems, spinal constructs, implants and surgical instruments are disclosed.
