Abstract: An interbody system for implanting between vertebrae, the interbody system comprises a cage having a cage body that includes a graft chamber having a volume that receives graft material, a sagittal wall that forms a portion of the graft chamber. The interbody system may comprise an interbody device that includes an aperture that receives a bone fastener.

Abstract: Disclosed are devices, systems and method for inserts and/or other containment devices which can be incorporated into implants that facilitate, promote and/or accelerate the growth of bone in and/or through a region of interest, such as in a spinal segment of a patient undergoing spinal fusion surgery.

Abstract: A fastener, for example a bone screw, is sized to pass into an aperture of an implant, for example, a bone plate, the fastener having an anchor portion engageable with body tissue, and a head portion formed by an assembly of an insert and an anchor extension. The insert and anchor extension cooperate to form a reduced dimension passable into the aperture, and an expanded dimension not passable out of the aperture. The size of the assembly may be configurable, for example, by tabs, ramped surfaces, or an expanding diameter of a threadable insert.

Abstract: The invention relates to a modular anchoring adaptor that engages with existing features of commercially available ALIF cages to help eliminate migration and/or anterior expulsion cause by the instability of the spine, such as lordosis. Such modular adaptor will mate or engage with existing features to enhance anchoring within the vertebral disc space, which space is limited and a low-profile should be maintained.

Abstract: Disclosed are devices, systems and/or methods for use in the surgical treatment of vertebrae and/or other bones, particularly implants and/or related devices comprising silicon nitride in some of all of the implant or device body, including portions, layers and/or surface coatings thereof, for use in spinal surgeries and/or other orthopedic procedures.

Abstract: An interbody system for implanting between vertebrae, the interbody system comprises a cage having a cage body that includes a graft chamber having a volume that receives graft material, a sagittal wall that forms a portion of the graft chamber, and a wall membrane that forms another portion of the graft chamber. The interbody system may comprise an interbody device that includes an aperture that receives a bone fastener, wherein the wall membrane interacts with the bone fastener. The wall membrane may bend as result of a force applied by the bone fastener to a portion of the wall membrane, thereby providing directional support to the bone fastener and/or forcing graft material from the graft chamber.

Abstract: Disclosed are devices for the fixation and support of vertebrae, particularly spinal implant devices supporting and/or securing removed vertebral bodies of the spine.

Abstract: An expandable bi-dimensional intervertebral implant for an intervertebral fusion is provided. The implant includes a first hinge arm, a second hinge arm connected to the first hinge arm, and a translation member movable relative to the first hinge arm and the second hinge arm between an initial position and an engaged position. The second hinge arm is movable between a primary position and a secondary position relative to the first hinge arm. In the engaged position, the translation member biases the first hinge arm to move from a first position to a second position and biases the second hinge arm to move between a first position and a second position.

Abstract: Disclosed are devices, systems and related surgical methods including implantable devices having a plurality of osteo-inductive, osteoconductive and/or osseointegrative surface features that may be useful in joint and/or bone replacement implants used in spinal surgeries, dental surgeries and/or other orthopedic and/or general surgical procedures.

Abstract: Disclosed are devices for the fixation and support of vertebrae, particularly spinal implant devices formed from modular components of different materials.

Abstract: Disclosed are intervertebral devices for insertion between and/or adjacent to vertebrae of a patient, incorporating apertures for fastening devices which include fastener locking and/or retaining elements.

Abstract: A bone fixation system includes a bone fastener and a tower including a modular engagement feature therebetween, the tower having at least one flexible section and at least one rigid section to accommodate and/or mitigate tower interference and/or collision during surgical procedures. The distal section can desirably be separated and/or detached from the tower to function as a head locking unit of the bone fixation assembly, with the detached distal section capable of accommodating set screws, fixation rods and/or other spinal hardware.

Abstract: Disclosed are devices, systems and/or methods for use in the surgical treatment of vertebrae and/or other bones, in particular elongated systems and devices including flexible connecting members than can rigidified in a desired manner during a surgical procedure to provide corrective forces to the spine.

Abstract: Disclosed are devices for the fixation and support of vertebrae, particularly adjustable spinal implant devices.

Abstract: A bone fixation system includes a bone fastener and a tower including a frangible or detachably linked distal section with a thread formed on an inner surface thereof, the tower having at least one flexible section and at least one rigid section to accommodate and/or mitigate tower interference and/or collision during surgical procedures. The distal section can desirably be separated and/or detached from the tower to function as a head locking unit of the bone fixation assembly, with the detached distal section capable of accommodating set screws, fixation rods and/or other spinal hardware.
