A method for treating a spine, the method comprising the steps of: imaging a patient anatomy for registration of anatomical image data and positional tracking of the patient anatomy; selecting an implant strategy for at least one bone fastener; selecting a manipulation strategy for the patient anatomy; determining a post-correction orientation of the patient anatomy according to the implant strategy and the manipulation strategy; imaging the post-correction orientation of the patient anatomy; engaging the at least one bone fastener with vertebral tissue of the patient anatomy according to the implant strategy; and connecting a first implant support to the at least one bone fastener, the first implant support including an adaptor that is movable relative to the first implant support to releasably engage a surgical instrument to distract and/or compress the vertebral tissue according to the manipulation strategy. Surgical instruments, constructs and implants are disclosed.

Surgical system and method

A surgical system includes a sleeve defining a passageway. An adapter is removably coupled to the sleeve. The adapter defines a channel. A delivery device includes a distal end positioned in a channel of the adapter. A bone fastener includes a head and a shank defining a cannula. A distal portion of the adapter is positioned in the shank such that the channel is in communication with a cannula of the shank. A plunger is movably disposed in a lumen of the delivery device. The plunger is configured to move a material through the lumen and the channel and into the cannula. Methods and kits are disclosed.

A bone fastener comprises a head including a first receiver that defines an implant cavity and a second receiver that defines an implant cavity. The first receiver is connected to the second receiver. A shaft is aligned with the first receiver and configured to engage tissue. A part is disposed within the implant cavity of the second receiver and movable relative thereto in a selected plane of a body. Systems, surgical instruments, spinal constructs, implants and methods are disclosed.

Spinal implant system and method

A method includes providing first and second instruments. First and second fasteners are attached with vertebrae. First fasteners are connected with first and second constructs. Second fasteners are connected with a third and fourth constructs. The first construct is connected with a body of the first instrument and the second construct is connected with another body of the first instrument. The third construct is connected with a body of the second instrument and the fourth construct is connected with another body of the second instrument. Joints of the instruments are tightened. At least one of the instruments is selectively distracted. At least one of the instruments is selectively compressed. The spinal constructs are removed from the fasteners. The first fasteners are connected with a first spinal rod. The second fasteners are connected with a second spinal rod. In some embodiments, spinal constructs, implants, systems and kits are disclosed.

Spinal correction system and method

A spinal construct comprises a first member engageable with a receiver of a first fastener having a shaft fixed with tissue. A second member is engageable with a receiver of a second fastener having a shaft fixed with the tissue. A longitudinal element connects the members. At least one of the members includes a mating element that is releasably engageable with a surgical instrument to manipulate the tissue such that movement of the receivers relative to the shafts is resisted and/or prevented. Surgical instruments, implants, systems and methods are disclosed.

A surgical instrument includes a body member having a proximal portion and a distal portion. The distal portion includes a first surface defining a first implant cavity and a second surface defining a second implant cavity. The second surface is engageable with an implant and includes a pivot. In some embodiments, spinal constructs, implants, systems and methods are disclosed.

Surgical instrument and method

A surgical instrument includes a first member that includes a first element engageable with an inner surface of a head of a bone fastener and a second element engageable with an outer surface of the head. The first member defines a first-member longitudinal axis and the bone fastener defines a bone-fastener longitudinal axis. A second member defines a second-member longitudinal axis and is movable relative to the first member and engageable with the second element to dispose the first element and the second element with the head in a co-axial, capture orientation. wherein the first-member, bone-fastener, and second-member longitudinal axes are aligned. Systems, spinal constructs, implants and methods are disclosed.

A surgical system includes a bone fastener having a head and a shaft. The head has a drive interface surface including elliptical edges. A surgical instrument includes an inner drive and an outer sleeve that is engageable with an outer surface of the head to dispose the inner drive and the outer sleeve with the head in a co-axial, capture orientation. The inner drive has a drive interface surface including a plurality of spaced apart lobes. Each lobe has an elliptical edge engageable with one of the elliptical edges of the drive interface surface of the head. Spinal constructs, implants and methods are disclosed.
