Abstract: A spinal stabilization device comprises a superior anchor and an inferior anchor. An interspinous spacer extends between the anchors and provides stabilization and support. The anchors can be bands, clamps, or surfaces designed to couple the device to vertebral body parts.

Abstract: A pedicle screw stabilization device comprises a superior and inferior pedicle screw anchor with a shaped memory alloy spacer therebetween.

Abstract: An implant to be implanted between a superior vertebra and an inferior vertebra is provided. The implant comprises a main body having a superior surface and an inferior surface that diverge with at least one linear surface protrusion residing on at least one of the superior surface or the inferior surface. The protrusion having a substantially flat bone engaging surface and a generally trapezoidal cross-section.

Abstract: The cross connecting device includes a bar arm coupled to one of a pair of posterior rods or spinal fixation rods and a rod arm coupled to the other of the pair of the rods. The bar arm and rod arm are coupled together by a connector or coupling device. The coupling device has a shank extending through a bore in the bar arm and a connector bore through which a protrusion on the bar arm extends. The bar arm is rotationally movable in the connector bore. The shank is rotationally and translationally movable in the bar arm bore. The coupling device is vertically movable through the bore. The protrusion is rotationally and translationally movable in the connector bore. The cross connecting devices are coupled to the rods by a pair of opposing surface to surface contacts formed by a surface of a hook end and a surface of a pad.
