In some embodiments, a spinal stabilization system may be formed in a patient using quick-connect sleeve assemblies. Each quick-connect sleeve assembly can be coupled to a bone fastener assembly in a fast and intuitive way. In one embodiment, a quick-connect sleeve assembly has a detachable member and a movable member. Both members engage a collar of the bone fastener assembly. In one embodiment, the engagement can be locked via one or more locking features to facilitate screwing a bone fastener of the bone fastener assembly onto a vertebral body in a minimally invasive surgical procedure. Each quick-connect sleeve assembly has a low profile and is particularly shaped for minimally invasive entry.

A reducer comprises a reducing shaft for engaging a stabilization member, a reducer body for engaging a pedicle screw extender and receiving the reducing shaft along an axis, and one or more of a three-pawl clutch mechanism, a three-stage locking mechanism and a closure mechanism. The clutch mechanism comprises a clutch housing comprising a central passage into which the reducing shaft extends and ports intersecting the central passage, a clutch knob surrounding the clutch housing, and clutch pawls disposed within the ports. The locking mechanism attaches the reducer body to the pedicle screw extender and comprises a first pivoting lever comprising a toothed end, a second pivoting lever comprising a socket for engaging the tooth, and a protrusion configured to engage the pedicle screw extender. The closure mechanism comprises a driver shaft extending through the reducing shaft and a biasing element to bias the driver shaft to a retracted position.

Reducer for stabilization member in spinal surgery

A surgical implant device configured to adjust in planar orientation or angular orientation or both to correspond to the structure of the lamina to be spanned at the site of a cut of the laminoplasty surgery. The device includes a base having slots extending adjacent thereto, and an extension having a head configured to be adjustably positionable within the slots.

Laminoplasty hinges

A single device desirably configured for use at complete cut location of an open door laminoplasty surgical site, and to be adjustable in size and orientation so that they may be adapted to the site at the time of surgery. The device is a one-piece construct of a base with an integrated spacer, with an extension hingedly connected to the base. The base and spacer are integrally formed of material that is not bone or bone-like, such as titanium. The spacer is devoid of void or open areas and includes arched proximal ends.

A spinal interbody device, system and method can include an interbody device configured to stabilize or otherwise support adjacent vertebrae. The interbody device can include a central opening and can be shaped as a trapezoid as viewed from a position on the central axis located above a superior or upper surface of the interbody device. In addition, the upper surface of the interbody device can include at least one keel or spike to facilitate locking of the interbody device with adjacent vertebrae. The at least one spike can be removable and can be adjustable relative to the superior or inferior surface(s) when installed.

Spinal interbody device, system and method

Embodiments described herein provide systems and methods for vertebral reduction using sleeves detachably coupled to collars of bone fasteners. The reduction can be performed during a minimally invasive procedure for implanting spinal stabilization systems. A sleeve can include internal threads that match threads on the respective collar to form a continuous set of threads. Threads on a closure member can be engaged with the threads on the sleeve and the closure member turned to translate the closure member along the sleeve. The closure member can be used to push a rod relative to the collar to which the sleeve is attached to cause a vertebral body to move.

System and method for performing vertebral reduction using a sleeve

A spinal stabilization system may be formed in a patient. In some embodiments, a minimally invasive procedure may be used to form a spinal stabilization system in a patient Bone fastener assemblies may be coupled to vertebrae Each bone fastener assembly may include a bone fastener and a collar. The collar may be rotated and/or angulated relative to the bone fastener. Detachable members may be coupled to the collar to allow for formation of the spinal stabilization system through a small skin incision. The detachable members may allow for alignment of the collars to facilitate insertion of an elongated member in the collars. An elongated member may be positioned in the collars and a closure member may be used to secure the elongated member to the collars.
