Patent number: 8551142Abstract: Methods, systems, devices and tools for placing bone stabilization components in a patient are provided. The systems and devices have a reduced number of discrete components that allow placement through small incisions and tubes. More particularly, the present invention is directed to screws for use in systems and methods of treating the spine, which eliminate pain and enable spinal motion, which effectively mimics that of a normally functioning spine. Methods are also provided for installation of the screw and other subject systems.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2010Date of Patent: October 8, 2013Assignee: Exactech, Inc.Inventors: Moti Altarac, Stanley Kyle Hayes, Joey Camia Reglos, J.

Patent number: 8535352Abstract: A spinal alignment system for interconnecting vertebral bodies is disclosed. The system includes a bone screw polyaxially connected to a seat. The seat includes a top opening, a first rod receiving portion and a second rod receiving portion, a first rod channel and a second rod channel. The system is implanted into a first vertebral body. A first rod is introduced to the seat through the top opening in a first orientation and connected to the first rod receiving portion. A second rod is introduced to the seat through the top opening in a first orientation and connected to the second rod receiving portion. The first and second rods are each moved into a second orientation such that the rods project through the first and second rod channels, respectively. The rods are capable of polyaxial movement with respect to the seat for landing the opposite ends of the rods in adjacent seats of screw systems implanted in other vertebral bodies.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2008Date of Patent: September 17, 2013Assignee: Exactech, Inc.Inventors: Moti Altarac, Joey Camia Reglos, Stanley Kyle Hayes

Patent number: 8206293Abstract: The retractor system for use in spinal surgery and other types of surgical procedures that is a simple and efficient solution for minimally invasive access to thoracolumbar spine is disclosed. The fully customizable design allows the surgeon to independently angle the retractor blades and expand the retractor in both cephalad-caudal and medial-lateral directions. With an offering of a range of blade lengths, access can be tailored to the patient's anatomy. Auxiliary instruments such as the retractor inserter, universal hex driver and blade removal instrument allow quick and controlled access to the surgical site. The retractor system provides versatility and control ensuring minimal tissue trauma.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2008Date of Patent: June 26, 2012Assignee: Exactech, Inc.Inventors: Joey Camia Reglos, Moti Altarac, Stanley Kyle Hayes, Jean A.

Patent number: 8114092Abstract: An inserter for implanting an intervertebral spacer into a spinal disc space is disclosed. The inserter comprises a jaw assembly connected to a shaft assembly that is connected to a handle assembly. The user operates the handle assembly to open and close the jaw assembly to thereby connect to and release from the intervertebral spacer. Furthermore, the handle assembly is operable to lock and unlock rotation of the jaw assembly while still connected thereto to permit angulation of the jaw assembly relative to the shaft assembly without losing hold of the intervertebral spacer.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2008Date of Patent: February 14, 2012Assignee: Exactech, Inc.Inventors: Moti Altarac, Stanley Kyle Hayes, Tyler Jay Haskins

Patent number: 8096996Abstract: A rod reduction instrument for position a rod relative to a seat of a bone anchor in a spinal implant system is provided. The instrument includes three concentric cannulas with circumferentially aligned rod receiving portions formed therein. One cannula is movable with respect to another to lock and unlock the seat of a bone anchor to the rod reduction instrument. The rod to be reduced is positioned inside at least one of the rod receiving portion. One cannula is moved with respect to another to lock the seat of the bone anchor to the rod reduction instrument. Once locked to the bone anchor, the remaining cannula is moved to reduce the distance between the rod and the seat within at least one of the rod receiving portions. The distance between the rod and the seat is reduced until the rod is position inside the seat. A secondary instrument is inserted through a central bore of the rod reduction instrument to introduce a cap and lock the cap to the seat securing the rod to the bone anchor.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2008Date of Patent: January 17, 2012Assignee: Exactech, Inc.Inventors: Robert Gutierrez, Shawn Tebbe, Moti Altarac, Stanley Kyle Hayes, Joey Camia Reglos
