A bone screw comprising a shaft having a wall, the wall including a minor diameter and at least one thread having an external thread form. The thread form including a first portion comprising a crest of the thread form and a second portion extends between a minor diameter of the thread form and the first portion. The first portion having a solid configuration relative to the second portion. In some embodiments, systems, spinal constructs, surgical instruments and methods are disclosed.

Bone screw and method of manufacture

A bone screw comprises a shaft defining a longitudinal axis and a minor diameter. The shaft including a core having an angled surface relative to the axis. The angled surface extending from the minor diameter adjacent a proximal portion of the shaft to a distal portion of the shaft, and a wall disposed about the angled surface. The wall including at least one thread having an external thread form. In some embodiments, systems, spinal constructs, surgical instruments and methods are disclosed.

A bone fastener includes a screw shaft having a proximal portion and a distal portion. The proximal portion is formed by a first manufacturing method and defines a distal face. The distal portion is formed onto the distal face by a second manufacturing method. In some embodiments, systems, spinal constructs, surgical instruments and methods are disclosed.

Spinal implant and method of manufacture

A build plate system includes a body defining at least one cavity. An insert is sized and shaped to fit within the at least one cavity such that the at least one cavity orients the insert for forming at least a portion of a screw shaft thereon by a manufacturing method using an additive manufacturing apparatus. In some embodiments, systems, spinal constructs, surgical instruments and methods are disclosed.

System and method of manufacture for spinal implant

A build plate includes a surface that defines at least one opening configured for disposal of a proximal portion of a screw shaft. The proximal portion is formed by a first manufacturing method and defines a distal face. The proximal portion is connected with the surface in a configuration to orient the distal face for forming a distal portion of the screw shaft thereon by a second manufacturing method that includes an additive manufacturing apparatus. In some embodiments, systems, spinal constructs, surgical instruments and methods are disclosed.

A build-plate with integrally-formed spinal implant constructs and a method used in forming spinal implant constructs on the build-plate and machining the spinal implant constructs formed on the build-plate to manufacture spinal implants is provided. The spinal implant constructs can be formed via additive manufacturing processes by adding material to an upper surface of the build-plate, and then the spinal implant constructs can be subjected to subtractive manufacturing processes to form the spinal implants.

Build-plate used in forming devices and locating features formed on the build-plate to facilitate use of additive and subtractive manufacturing processes and method for use thereof

A bone screw includes a shaft including at least one thread having an external thread form and defining at least one cavity. The shaft includes at least one tissue gathering member disposed to direct tissue into the at least one cavity. In some embodiments, systems, spinal constructs, surgical instruments and methods are disclosed.

A bone screw comprises a shaft including a proximal portion, a distal portion and a wall including at least one thread having an external thread form having a lattice configuration. The thread form defining at least one void configured for bone growth therethrough. The distal portion is fabricated onto the proximal portion by an additive manufacturing method. In some embodiments, systems, spinal constructs, surgical instruments and methods are disclosed.
