Abstract: A bone hook apparatus is provided that includes a base, a rod receptacle disposed on a proximal side of the base, a first hook distally extending from the base and oriented in a first direction, and a second hook distally extending from the base and oriented in a second direction opposing the first direction, the first hook and second hook together configured to receive the bone. Kits and spinal constructs employing the bone hook apparatus are also described.

Abstract: This application describes surgical instruments and implants, including a rod reduction instrument, for building a posterior fixation construct across one or more segments of the spinal column. Extension guides are provided that attach to bone anchors implanted within the spine. The extension guides have a guide channel that align with a rod channel in the anchor to help direct the rod to the anchor. The rod reducer may be passed through the interior of the guide assemblies with a distal end arranged in a first position allowing the distal end to pass through the guide. Once through the guide the distal end may be expanded to provide dual contact on the rod at each end of the bone anchor rod channel.

Abstract: A rib fixation plate is provided that is can have one or more locking rib hooks that can translate and rotate independently from one another. The one or more locking rib hooks translate and rotate when in an unlocked conformation and are secured from translation and rotation when in a locked conformation. The plate includes a first end and a second end opposite of the first end, the second end having a housing assembly configured to receive a rod. The rod can be secured to a vertebra with a pedicle screw.
