  • Patent number: 11419652
    Abstract: A bone screw including a head portion, a neck portion, and a shaft portion is provided. The shaft portion includes a first end, an opposite second end, a helical thread form, and a shank. The first end of the shaft portion is attached to the neck portion, and the helical thread form extends around the shank between the first end and the second end. The thread form terminates at a thread-termination surface adjacent the first end of the shaft portion, where the thread-termination surface affords an abrupt transition into the shank.

  • Publication number: 20210346093
    Abstract: A surgical system is provided that includes a mixed reality display including at least one processor, at least one camera and at least one sensor. A computer database is configured to transmit data points of pre-operative imaging of vertebral tissue to the mixed reality display. The mixed reality display is configured to display a first image of a surgical treatment configuration for the vertebral tissue, a second image of a surgical strategy for implementing the surgical treatment configuration with the vertebral tissue and intra-operatively displaying a third image of a surgical plan for implementing the surgical plan with the vertebral tissue in a common coordinate system. Methods, spinal constructs, implants and surgical instruments are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11013536
    Abstract: A bone fastener assembly including a bone screw, a receiver, a crown, a seat, and a contact pin is provided. The contact pin is formed as a leaf spring resiliently biased in a first position that affords generation of spring force via deformation thereof, and the contact pin acts as a tensioner to ultimately press against a head portion of the screw to aid movement prevention of the head portion relative to the receiver.
