Abstract: The invention is a system and a device for use in open or minimally invasive surgical procedures, such as a bone implant fixation procedure. The device is configured to perform various functions during a bone implant fixation procedure, including performing at least one of: penetration of a bone to form a hole or opening for receipt of a screw; neuromonitoring, in cooperation with a neuromonitoring device, of the hole during, or post-, formation of the hole so as to sense any nearby nerves adjacent to the hole that may be in the path of a screw, or otherwise affected, when a screw is placed within the hole; neurostimulation, in cooperation with a neuromonitoring device, of nerves adjacent to the hole during, or post-, formation of the hole; and measuring of a depth of the hole and providing a digital measurement of the depth to assist the surgeon in selecting the appropriate length of screw.

Abstract: A method for treating a spinal disorder includes the steps of: disposing an expandable spinal construct in a selected configuration; fixing the spinal construct in the selected configuration with a member; attaching a first end of the spinal construct with tissue; attaching a second end of the spinal construct with tissue; and disengaging the member from the spinal construct to release the spinal construct from the selected configuration. Implants, surgical instruments, systems and methods are disclosed.

Abstract: A method comprises the steps of: imaging a patient anatomy; selecting an implant strategy for at least one bone fastener having a first member; registering the imaging of the patient anatomy with imaging of at least a portion of a robot; engaging the first member with tissue of the patient anatomy via robotic guidance according to the implant strategy; and subsequently, manipulating the patient anatomy. Systems, spinal constructs, implants and surgical instruments are disclosed.

Abstract: In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a monolithic percutaneous-screw system for use in spinal surgery. The system includes (i) a receiver having a distal base and a pair of opposing arms extending proximally from the base, a pair of opposing distal breakoff sections, each connected monolithically to a proximal end of a corresponding one of the arms, (ii) a pair of opposing proximal breakoff sections, (iii) a pair of opposing intermediate extenders, each extending from a distal end, connected monolithically to a corresponding one of the distal breakoff sections, to a proximal end connected monolithically to a corresponding one of the proximal breakoff section, and (iv) a guide cap connected monolithically to both of the proximal breakoff sections.

Abstract: A system for delivering content to a user based on geolocation may include a user device with a location sensor and a software application. The system may include a server, including executable instructions configured to execute a tour module. The server may include a data storage, including user data and tour data stored thereon. The tour data may include a point of interest (POI) data object, including location data and content data. The software application may be configured to obtain a location of the user device from the location sensor and send the location to the tour module. The tour module may be configured to determine, from the location of the user device, that the user device is within a geo-fence of the POI data object and send the content data to the software application. The software application may be configured to display the content data on the user device.

Abstract: An assembly for remotely manipulating a patient's spine. A compressor/distractor mechanism attaches to spinal anatomy or vertebral screws on adjacent vertebrae at a spinal surgical site on a patient's spine. A flexible cable is operatively connected to the compressor/distractor mechanism and to a control mechanism. The control mechanism manipulates the flexible cable, controlling the compressor/distractor mechanism to compress or distract the vertebrae. A rotatable surgical table with a remote control can be used in place of the compressor/distractor mechanism and the control mechanism. The rotatable surgical table can rotate the patient to place the spinal surgical site in a desired compressed or distracted position, and to place the patient in a desired orientation with respect to a horizontal reference plane.

Abstract: A surgical guide comprising a body including an inner surface that defines a cavity configured for disposal of a surgical instrument. The body further defining an opening communicating with the cavity. A connector disposable with the opening and engageable with a surgical robot. A release is engageable with the connector. Systems, spinal constructs, implants and surgical instruments are disclosed.

Abstract: A method comprises the steps of: imaging a patient anatomy; selecting an implant strategy for at least one bone fastener having a first member; registering the imaging of the patient anatomy with imaging of a surgical driver; engaging the first member with tissue of the patient anatomy via the surgical driver according to the implant strategy; manipulating the patient anatomy; acquiring data points representative of a position of the first member relative to tissue; and retrieving the data points from a computer database for attaching a second member with the first member. Systems, spinal constructs, implants and surgical instruments are disclosed.

Abstract: A multiple-cap-remover for removing and holding spinal-implant guide caps, including a chamber component and a plunger movable disposed within the chamber. The chamber component has a chamber wall extending to an open end, and a cap-retaining component extending radially inward from an inner surface of the chamber at or adjacent the distal end. The distal opening is sized and shaped to allow the guide caps to pass through the opening and into the chamber component. The chamber component is sized and shaped to receive, one at a time, and hold simultaneously, multiple caps removed from respective spinal-implant assemblies using the instrument. The instrument may further have a sliding component connected movably to a body and connected to the plunger such that, when moved distally, it moves the plunger to push the caps captured beyond the cap-retaining component and out of the chamber component via the opening.
