Abstract: The present application generally relates to orthopedic systems, and in particular, to systems including independent plates and spacers. A plating system can include a spacer and a plate that is independent from the spacer. A number of locking mechanisms can be provided to secure the plate to the spacer. In some cases, the spacer includes a pair of notches that extend on an outer surface of the spacer. The plate can include a pair of lateral extensions that can engage the notches to secure the plate to the spacer. In other cases, the spacer includes an opening including a pair of inlets. The plate can include an enclosed posterior extension that can be received in the pair of inlets to secure the plate to the spacer.

Abstract: A surgical tool for an endoscopic procedure includes a proximal portion and a distal portion configured for at least partial insertion in a surgical cavity of the patient during the endoscopic procedure, at least a portion of the distal portion being made of a polymer and comprising at least one fiducial marker formed by laser marking of the polymer for detection by an endoscopic imaging system.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a reference array, a bone anchor, a receiver assembly coupled to the bone anchor, and an adapter axially locked with the receiver assembly. The adapter includes a proximal end coupled to the reference array and a distal end coupled to the receiver assembly.

Abstract: Intervertebral spacer assemblies, systems, and methods thereof. A method of insertion includes inserting an intervertebral spacer and plate together using an insertion tool and, upon removal of the insertion tool, the intervertebral spacer and plate are no longer considered connected/coupled and act as separate components.
