  • Publication number: 20170007418
    Abstract: The present application relates to a facet joint prosthesis comprising a first component having a first disc with a first outer face for engagement of a first bone. The first outer face has an opposed first inner face, which includes a first post connecting said first disc to a tongue. The facet joint prosthesis further comprises a second component having a second disc with a second outer surface for engagement with a second bone. The second outer surface has an opposed second inner face, which comprises a bridge located near the periphery of said second disc. Said bridge connects the second disc with a third disc. The third disc comprises a pocket. Insertion of said tongue into said pocket and rotation of said tongue relative to said pocket results in a locking of said tongue between said second disc and said third disc.

  • Patent number: 8870890
    Abstract: A device for holding a surgical instrument having a body, an instrument engagement device and a knob. The body has a proximal end, a distal end and a passageway positioned through the body. The instrument engagement device is positioned in the passageway and has at least two prongs moveable relative to each other to hold the surgical instrument therebetween. The knob is preferably positioned on the proximal end of the body and operatively associated with the at least two prongs so that movement of the knob causes movement of the prongs. The prongs may further include at least one ridge for engaging at least one slot on the surgical instrument. The knob may further comprise a cap at its proximal end positioned and designed for impact, for example, by a hammer, to facilitate movement of the surgical instrument into the patient. The knob may also include a locking mechanism to fix the position of the prongs.
