Abstract: The subject disclosure are directed to systems, apparatuses, devices and methods for vertebral and spinal correction. In some embodiments, an expansible implant is provided which may be inserted between two vertebrae, for instance, for maintenance and/or restoration of the distance/space between vertebrae. The implant may include first and second opposed plates that are intended to move away from one another, and which engage portions of vertebrae via a recess provided for on a bearing surface of the plates. The implant may additionally include at least first and second opposed end members, where at least one of the end members includes an aperture configured for receiving at least a portion of a retaining element adapted for retaining the implant in an expanded configuration once the implant is expanded. Methods of treatment and methods of use of such implants for the alleviation of back pain (for example) are also provided herein.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an expansible intravertebral implant system comprising an intravertebral implant (1) with an expandable anterior part (11), which is expansible in a vertebral body, and a posterior part; and a pedicle fixation (2) having at least one hollow portion for receiving the posterior part. The present invention also relates to said expansible intravertebral implant system additionally comprising a posterior element (3), arranged partially outside the vertebra and rigidly connected to the pedicle fixation (2), for serving as an anchoring point for at least one intravertebral rod or at least one system of artificial ligaments.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a bone fixation device (1) for securing attachment between a screw and a vertebra comprising two pedicles, comprising a hollow cavity having a longitudinal axis, a distal part (2) having itself a distal end and (7) a proximal end (8), a proximal part (3) having itself a distal end (9) and a proximal end (10) and a flange at the proximal end (10), characterized in that: —the distal part (2) comprises a deformable area (2D) comprising at least three helical slots (6); and —the distal part (2) comprises a full portion (5) located distally after said at least three helical slots (6); further characterized in that said full portion (5) cooperates with the screw such that once the screw abuts against the flange (4) of the bone fixation device (1), further screwing causes the deformation of the deformable area (2D) of the distal part (2) and the retraction of the distal end of the distal part (7) towards the proximal end of the distal part (8); and in that after screwing, the borders

Abstract: The subject disclosure is directed to systems, apparatuses, devices and methods for vertebral and spinal correction. In some embodiments, an expandable implant is provided which may be inserted inside the vertebral body and/or between two vertebrae, for instance, for maintenance and/or restoration of a space therein or there between. In certain embodiments, the implant includes a mechanical resistance that prevents the expandable implant from contracting once it has been expanded. Methods of treatment and methods of use of such implants for the alleviation of back pain (for example) are also provided herein.

Abstract: A ready-for-use polymer cement spacer device for the replacement of a permanent joint prosthesis during a two-stage replacement, includes a shank includes for attachment for placing to the supporting bone and a head in the joint region. The spacer device includes two complementary members incorporating rigid members for assembly between them, the first member being loaded with a first active substance and the second member being loaded with a second active substance. The first and second active substances are preferably antibiotics, selected from gentamycin, trobamycin, vancomycin, erythromycin, fucidin, tetracycline or other suitable antibiotics. The temporary joint implant maintains a suitable space for the time necessary for the operation of replacing a permanent prosthesis to prevent tissues from occupying the space released by removal of the permanent prosthesis and ensures effective treatment of resistant infections by local treatment of the joint area through at least two different active substances.
