  • Patent number: 11957600
    Abstract: Various implementations include an implant. The implant includes a body defining a central opening. The body has a first surface and a second surface spaced apart and opposite from the first surface. The second surface at least partially defines the central opening. The first surface defines a plurality of openings including a first opening and a second opening. Each of the openings extends along an axis from the first surface to the second surface. The first opening and the second opening at least partially overlap at the first surface, and the axis of the first opening is transverse to the axis of the second opening.

  • Publication number: 20070270879
    Abstract: A device and method for defining a trajectory for instruments in a sacroiliac joint fusion procedure employs a handle and two movable guidance arms that are separated by an adjustable distance. The first guidance arm has a substantially straight pronged distal end terminating in a first prong, a second prong and a space between the first prong and second prong defining a first point in a straight trajectory for inserting screws into a sacroiliac joint. The guidance arm forms a receiving bore on a distal end thereof to define a second point in the trajectory. The pronged distal end is inserted through a posterior incision in the patient into a cored-out sacroiliac joint, with the second guidance arm outside the body, and the orientation of the alignment guide is adjusted by pivoting the alignment guide about the pronged distal end to determine a suitable trajectory.
