A modular system is provided for assembling a structure to secure to opposite sides of a fracture in a bone of a subject. The modular system includes a plate with a perimeter including a plurality of openings. The perimeter defines an interior area within the plate. The modular system also includes a link with one or more openings along a linear axis defining the link. The one or more openings of the link include a connector to receive a fastener to be secured in the bone. The plurality of openings of the plate includes a first opening with an inner diameter configured to removably receive an outer diameter of the connector of the link so that the link is rotatably received within the first opening. A method is also provided for assembling the structure using the modular system and securing the assembled structure to opposite sides of the bone fracture.

An intervertebral spacer assembly may include a first intervertebral spacer with a superior surface configured to engage a superior vertebral body, an inferior surface configured to engage an inferior vertebral body, and a proximal surface with a first fastener channel. The assembly may further include a first fastener and a locking member with a first anti-backout member. The first intervertebral spacer or the locking member may have a locking member channel. The other may have a compressible collet insertable into the locking member channel to couple the locking member to the first intervertebral spacer such that the locking member is rotatable relative to the first intervertebral spacer between an unlocked position in which the first anti-backout member does not obstruct the first fastener channel, and a locked position in which the first anti-backout member obstructs the first fastener channel to retain the first fastener in the first fastener channel.

An insertion assembly may include a DTS guide and an inserter tool configured to couple an intervertebral spacer having a fastener channel configured to receive a fastener and a locking member channel with a first engagement feature. The inserter tool may include a second engagement feature configured to engage the first engagement feature and removably couple the inserter tool with the intervertebral spacer. The DTS guide may include a shaft lumen configured to receive the inserter tool and slidably couple with the inserter tool. The DTS guide may also include a DTS guide channel configured to receive the fastener and a DTS guide wing. The DTS guide wing may abut against a surface of the intervertebral spacer to align the DTS guide channel with the fastener channel and guide the fastener through the DTS guide channel and into the fastener channel.

Spinal surgery assemblies, systems, and methods

An insertion assembly may include a flexible tool and a DTS guide configured to engage an intervertebral spacer having a fastener channel oriented at a first angle. The DTS guide may include a DTS guide channel oriented at the first angle which may be aligned with the fastener channel. The flexible tool may include a flexible shaft and a working member disposed at a distal end of the flexible shaft. The working member may be received through the DTS guide channel at the first angle. At least a portion of the flexible shaft adjacent the DTS guide member may flex while the working member is received through the DTS guide channel, such that a distal portion of the flexible shaft may be at a greater absolute angle relative to a DTS guide shaft than a proximal portion of the flexible shaft.

Spinal surgery instruments, systems, and methods

An intervertebral spacer may include a fastener channel configured to receive a fastener, a locking member channel, and a locking member. The locking member channel may include an inner wall and one or more inner wall engagement features. The locking member may include an anti-backout member, a collet retainable within the locking member channel, and one or more collet engagement features. The locking member may be rotatable within the locking member channel between an unlocked position and a locked position. The one or more collet engagement features may engage the one or more inner wall engagement features in order to retain the locking member in either the unlocked position or the locked position, such that the anti-backout member may selectively obstruct the fastener channel and prevent the fastener from backing out of the fastener channel.

Spinal fusion cage

Locking mechanisms and methods of fixation, such as the fixation of a fixation device like a bone screw and of a rod to the spine. The locking mechanism includes a body, a rod seat and a set screw. The rod seat is configured to separate into two pieces when the rod exerts force on the top portion of the washer and the set screw limits movement of the washer toward the bottom of the locking mechanism.
