Abstract: Example spinal implants and related apparatus and methods are disclosed. An example spinal implant includes an outer corpus and an inner corpus axially displaceably coupled to the outer corpus. A first lever accommodation is provided on the outer corpus and includes an elongated aperture. A first set of teeth are formed on a first side of the first lever accommodation. A second lever accommodation is provided on the inner corpus and includes an elongated aperture. A second set of teeth are formed on a second side of the second lever accommodation. The first and second lever accommodations are aligned. The example spinal implant includes a first guide on the inner corpus and a second guide on the outer corpus. The first and second guides allow for axial displacement of the inner corpus relative to the outer corpus and prevent rotation of the inner corpus relative to the outer corpus.

Abstract: The subject matter of the disclosure is, in one example, a dental implant having a corpus, an external thread attached on the endosteal area of the corpus, and a post accommodation formed in the inside of the corpus. Providing a dental implant that can be anchored well in the jaw is achieved by forming a recess on the endosteal end of the corpus oriented coaxially to the longitudinal axis of the corpus.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for implanting in a human or animal vertebral column, said device comprising a base carrier (10) that can be fixed to a first vertebral body, an upper carrier (14) that can be fixed to a second vertebral body, and a spacer element fixed between the base carrier and the upper carrier. The base carrier (10) and/or the upper carrier (14) are provided with a cavity (18, 24) comprising undercuts, for receiving the spacer element in a positively locked manner. The aim of the invention is to economically create one such device that ensures complete freedom of movement of the vertebral column. To this end, the spacer element is embodied as metallic bellows (12).

Abstract: The subject matter of the invention is, in one example, a dental implant having a corpus. an external thread attached on the enossal area of the corpus and a post accommodation formed in the inside of the corpus. Providing a dental implant that can be anchored well in the jaw is achieved by forming a recess on the endostal end of the corpus oriented coaxially to the longitudinal axis of the corpus.

Abstract: An anchoring element for fastening a rod of a device for adjusting a human vertebral column on a vertebra and having a retainer for receiving the rod, a securing element attachable on the retainer and acting against the rod, a fastening element for attachment to the vertebral body and a clamping device between the retainer and the fastening element including a ring-shaped mount, a partially spherical bearing and an intermediate element embedded in the mount and surrounding the bearing. The bearing comprises level guiding surfaces on opposite sides. The intermediate element has mating counter surfaces which enable the retainer to move in one axial direction only relative to the fastening element and the level counter surfaces are formed on an inner side of one of two generally circumferentially extending elongate segments of the intermediate element.

Abstract: The invention relates to a vertebral implant that is to be mounted between the lamina and/or the spinous processes of adjoining vertebral bodies (12, 12?). In order to create a vertebral implant of said type, a bottom part (11) is provided that is to be mounted on a first vertebral body (12?) while a top part (10) is provided which is to be mounted on a second vertebral body (12). A contact surface (13, 14), by means of which the bottom part (11) and the top part (10) rest against each other, is embodied on both the bottom part (11) and the top part (10).

Abstract: The invention relates to a vertebral body placeholder having a cylindrical inner body (14), which can be telescopically inserted into a coaxially arranged, sleeve-shaped outer body (16). A detent device that works in one direction is arranged between the inner body (14) and the outer body (16). A number of detent projections (22) are arranged in succession in an axial direction and form a row (20) of detent projections. A number of detent notches (26) are arranged in succession in an axial direction while corresponding to the row (20) of detent projections. Said detent notches form a row (24) of detent notches that completely or partially accommodate the row (20) of detent projections. The invention also relates to a method for assembling said vertebral body placeholder. The aim of the invention is to create a vertebral body placeholder whose overall height can be easily and reliably adjusted, particularly, during implantation.
