Implant systems in some embodiments such as midline incision implant systems may generally include an insertion guide assembly and a plate, which define fixation trajectories. In other embodiments such as a percutaneous implant system may generally include a first a plate, an insertion guide, and a separate second insertion guide, which define fixation trajectories. Surgical methods include use of the implant systems with the plates, and use of plates alone, for installing bone fusion systems.

Implant systems, plates, bone fusion systems, and methods employing same

A bone fixation system comprises a first fastener configured to anchor into a first vertebrae, a second fastener configured to anchor into a second vertebrae, and a set screw to retain the second fastener to the first fastener. The first fastener includes a shaft extending along a longitudinal axis and a head. The shaft includes a first cylindrical body. The head of the first fastener includes a second cylindrical body defining a passageway having an interior surface. The passageway defines a longitudinal axis that is different than the longitudinal axis of the shaft. The first cylindrical body of the shaft and the second cylindrical body of the head are angled relative to each other. A head of the second fastener is configured to engage the interior surface of the passageway of the head of the first fastener. The set screw retains the head of the second fastener in the passageway.

Bone fixation system and methods of use

The fusion systems include a first fastener, a second fastener, and an elongate member with a first end and a second end. The first end being secured to the first fastener and the second end being secure to the second fastener. The method of assembling a fusion system including obtaining towers, fasteners, and an elongate member; coupling the fasteners to the towers; inserting ends of the elongate member into the fasteners; coupling locking caps to a screwdriver; and screwing the locking caps into heads of the fasteners to secure the ends of the elongate member to the fasteners. The methods of using the fusion systems including exposing a patient's vertebrae and obtaining the fusion system, inserting first and second fasteners into first and second vertebra, and coupling the first fastener and second fastener.

Fusion systems and methods of assembly and use

The present invention discloses single level fusion systems and methods of use. The single level fusion systems include a first fastener, a second fastener, and a connector to secure the first fastener to the second fastener. The method of assembling a single level fusion system including obtaining a first fastener, a second fastener, and a connector, securing the first fastener to the connector, and securing the second fastener to the connector. Methods of using the single level fusion systems are also disclosed.

Single level fusion systems and methods of assembly and use

A bone fixation system is provided for use in the spine between vertebrae. The system comprises a first fastener configured to anchor into a first vertebrae, a second fastener configured to anchor into a second vertebrae, and a set screw to retain the second fastener to the first fastener. The first fastener includes a shaft extending along a longitudinal axis and a head. The shaft includes a first cylindrical body. The head of the first fastener includes a second cylindrical body defining a passageway having an interior surface. The passageway defines a longitudinal axis that is different than the longitudinal axis of the shaft. The first cylindrical body of the shaft and the second cylindrical body of the head are angled relative to each other. The second fastener includes a shaft and a head. The head of the second fastener is configured to engage the interior surface of the passageway of the head of the first fastener. The set screw also engages the interior surface of the passageway and retains the head of the second fastener in the passageway.

The present invention discloses fusion systems and methods of assembly and use. The fusion systems include a first fastener, a second fastener, and an elongate member with a first end and a second end. The first end being secured to the first fastener and the second end being secure to the second fastener. The method of assembling a fusion system and methods of using the fusion systems are also disclosed.

The present disclosure includes implant systems, devices, implants, guides, instruments and methods of use. The insertion guide including a base member having a first opening with a first trajectory and a second opening with a second trajectory, a connecting member having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is coupled to the base member and a locking block coupled to the second end of the connecting member. The locking block has a first guide hole and a second guide hole. The implant including a body including a first hole at a first end of the body, a second hole at a second end of the body, and a locking opening positioned between the first hole and the second hole. Methods of using the implant systems are also disclosed.
