At least one of the plate and the surgical instrument includes an engagement surface for connection therebetween. Systems and methods of use are disclosed.

Abstract: A surgical instrument comprises a first member defining a cavity and including a locking surface disposed with the cavity. The locking surface is engageable with a longitudinal member to fix a tether with the first member. A second member includes an inner surface that defines a longitudinal passageway configured for disposal of a surgical driver engageable with a spinal construct. The second member further includes at least one mating element being engageable with the spinal construct. An actuator is connected with the members and is configured to incrementally tension the tether. Systems, implants and methods are disclosed.

Abstract: A medical implant device has in one embodiment a receiver member for receiving an elongated member, a crown member, an anchor member and a retaining member. An embodiment of the receiver member has an axial opening, a transverse channel, a chamber including at least one substantially flat wall, and a groove. An embodiment of the crown member has at least one substantially flat side. An embodiment of the anchor member has a head with at least one substantially flat surface that may be parallel to the anchor member's longitudinal axis, and an anchoring portion. An embodiment of the retaining member is a substantially flat clip. The crown member and anchor member are inserted into the chamber, and the retaining member is inserted into the groove beneath them. The anchor member may be pivoted substantially in one plane with respect to the receiver member until locked.

Abstract: An apparatus for implementing a spinal fixation system with supplemental fixation includes a spinal fixation rod assembly and at least one supplemental fixation device. The spinal fixation rod assembly is adapted to provide primary fixation at a plurality of first fixation points by being secured to a plurality of first vertebral components except not into one of the first vertebral components of the plurality that is in a weakened structural condition and located between other of the first vertebral components of the plurality. The supplemental fixation device is adapted to provide supplemental fixation for the assembly at a second fixation point by being secured to a second vertebral component located adjacent to and offset from the one first vertebral component in the weakened structural condition and also to interconnect with the assembly to provide anchorage and thus additional fixation supplemental to the primary fixation.
