Abstract: Bone plate template systems and methods determine a suitable bone plate implant from a plurality of bone plate implants. The systems and methods have a first bone plate implant having a first length, and a second bone plate implant having a second length that is less than the first length of the first bone plate implant. The systems and methods have a bone plate template having a shape and a length defined between a first end and a second end located opposite to the first end, wherein at least a portion of the shape of the bone plate template corresponds to at least portions of a shape of at least one of the first and second bone plate implants. The bone plate template has at least one removable segment located adjacent to the second end of the bone plate template, wherein a connecting section of the bone plate template has a width and connects the at least one removable segment to the first end of the bone plate template.

Abstract: Systems and methods contour a medical implant and provide a first tool, a second tool and a medical implant, wherein each of the first tool, the second tool and the medical implant are individually sterilized and packaged. After unpackaging the sterile first tool, the sterile second tool and the sterile medical implant, a first fixed portion of the sterile medical implant is inserted into, and held by, a first channel of the first tool. A second fixed portion of the sterile medical implant is inserted into, and held by, a second channel of the second tool. The sterile first tool is moved relative to the sterile second tool to apply deformation forces to the at least a portion of the sterile medical implant for contouring the sterile medical implant at a deformation portion of the sterile medical implant, located between the sterile first and second tools.

Abstract: An orthopedic screw fastener system which includes at least two screws and at least one bone plate. At least one screw is a locking screw comprising a screw head and a screw shank, the screw head being provided with a thread. At least one other screw is a non-locking screw comprising a non-threaded (i.e., smooth) screw head and a screw shank. The at least one bone plate has a thickness and it has at least two through-bores which are able to receive screws. The plate has two or more through-openings, each formed by at least two through-bores, each through-bore being defined by a midpoint and by a radius, and the through-bores are offset relative to each other and intersect each other in such a way that intersection lines and/or intersection surfaces extend into the depth of the through-opening.

Abstract: A spine implant system having two or more adjacent segments that have a male-female annular interlocking relationship for increased mechanical stability and resistance to relative translation and rotation. One or more segments is provided with at least one perforation channel or void to promote osteo-induction within the segment. Optionally, two adjacent segments have at least one common or aligned perforation channel or void. Two or more spaced apart portions of a segment surface are optionally chamfered to provide easier fabrication and/or positioning of the segment. Two spaced apart exposed surface planes of an interlocked segment pair optionally are axially oriented at a small positive angle relative to each other, to approximate natural spine curvature. Segments in some embodiments have a curvilinear delta cross sectional shape and/or have crosshatched grooves in exposed surfaces. Many of the embodiments are useful in transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF).
