  • Patent number: 10172719
    Abstract: A method for treating a spine is provided. The method includes the steps of: pre-operatively measuring a first portion of intervertebral tissue adjacent to a neural foramen; intra-operatively measuring a second portion of the intervertebral tissue adjacent to the neural foramen; generating a threshold value based on the measured portions; and selecting an interbody implant based on the threshold value. Spinal implants, surgical instruments and systems are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9918753
    Abstract: An implant support comprises a first portion defining a longitudinal axis and a second portion including at least one arm extending from the first portion. The at least one arm includes a part. An extension is engageable with the at least one arm to move the at least one arm between a first position and a second position such that the part is disposed to releasably engage an implant. A lock is disposed with the first portion and connected with the extension. The lock is biased from a first configuration to a second configuration to engage the first portion and resist disengagement of the at least one arm from the second position. Systems and methods of use are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9848920
    Abstract: A spinal construct comprises a fastener attached with sacral and/or pelvic tissue of a body. A connector is selectively movable in a coronal plane relative to the body. The connector has a first end connected with the fastener and a second end having a locking surface engageable with an implant. A lock element is engageable with the connector and defines an implant cavity. Systems and methods are disclosed.
