  • Patent number: 9179937
    Abstract: The present invention generally is directed toward a spinal fixation system whereby a coupling element allows the physician to selectively lock or unlock either the connection between the coupling element and a fastener, such as to allow for repositioning of the coupling element, or the connection between the coupling element and an elongate rod. The locking or unlocking of these connections may be made independently and as desired by the physician.

  • Patent number: 7491207
    Abstract: A surgical instrument is provided for urging a longitudinal spinal member into a top-loading spinal implant. The instrument may comprise a holder assembly having a pair of fingers sized and configured to engage the underside of an edge of the spinal implant, a release assembly, and an actuating member. The release assembly may comprise a tubular member and a pusher member, the tubular member being sized and configured to be slidably disposed within the holder assembly, and the pusher member being sized and configured to slidably surround at least a portion of the holder assembly. Upon movement of the actuating member, the holder assembly and the release assembly are moveable with respect to one another so that the longitudinal spinal rod, which is engaged to the pusher member, is urged into engagement with the rod-receiving channel of the spinal implant.

  • Patent number: 7476226
    Abstract: Tools for use in the creation of cavities in bones. The tools include a probe, a cannula that provides percutaneous passageway to the interior of the treated bone, a bone tamp, and a system for delivering bone filler material into the cavity. The bone tamp has a shaft that is inserted into the bone through the cannula. The end of the shaft that is inserted into the bone may have a flapper tip that extends out of axial alignment with the shaft upon deployment by the physician. Once the tip is deployed, the bone tamp can be rotated to form the cavity. The cavity may then be treated with a medicament, filled with bone filler material, or both. Other tools and materials described herein may be used to lift or restore the treated bone closer to its natural anatomy.

  • Publication number: 20060025768
    Abstract: A system for introducing an elongated spinal rod comprising a bone fastener having a head, the head including a top end, a bottom end, and a pair of side walls connected at the bottom end defining an elongated U-shaped channel having a first longitudinal axis and a top opening located at the top end. The top opening and the channel further define a passageway configured for receiving the spinal rod and each side wall further defining a first end face and a second end face, the second end face opposite the first end face. A bone engaging element extends from the bottom end of the head for anchoring the bone fastener to the bone. The system further comprises a tool for introducing the rod into the U-shaped channel. The tool includes a first member having a distal end and a proximal end. The distal end is configured for guiding the rod through the passageway to introduce the rod into the U-shaped channel through the top opening.
