This invention relates generally to spine surgery and, in particular, to a surgical implant for separating adjacent spinal vertebrae.

Spinal surgical implant and related methods

A bone plate system for use in an 'open door' laminoplasty procedure, including a bone plate, a first fixation element, and at least one second fixation element. The bone plate is elongated and has a generally curved shape such that the plate has an associated radius of curvature. The plate is sized and dimensioned to span a gap between a pair of bony segments, for example a pair of bony segments constituting a divided lamina. The first and second fixation elements are each configured to securely attach the bone plate to the bony segments. The bone plate has a first end including a generally U-shaped slot extending therein such that the open end of the slot comprises a first terminal end of the plate.

Bone plate system and related methods

A system and method for spinal fusion comprising a spinal fusion implant of non-bone construction releasably coupled to an insertion instrument dimensioned to introduce the spinal fusion implant into any of a variety of spinal target sites.

Systems and methods for spinal fusion

Intervertebral implant

Total disc replacement systems and related methods involving a lateral, trans-psoas surgical approach to the spine while performing at least one of continuous and intermittent intra-operative neural monitoring of the psoas muscle to avoid injury during introduction.

Total disc replacement system and related methods

An intervertebral implant consisting of multiple elements connected by a flexible member and a method of positioning said implant via an operative corridor having an axis oblique to the disc plane. The implant is advanced through the operative corridor by altering the orientation of the first element of the implant such that it is in general alignment with the disc space plane without altering the alignment of the second element of the implant. Upon insertion of the first element into the disc space, the orientation of the second element is altered to be in general alignment with the disc space and the second element is inserted into the disc space.

A total disc replacement (TDR) system for lateral insertion into the spine, involving a first anchor plate having a first surface for engaging a first vertebra and a second surface including a cutout region, a second anchor plate having a first surface for engaging a second vertebra and a second surface including a cutout region, at least one pair of intradiscal inserts, each insert having a first surface for engaging with said anchor plates and a second surface for engaging with an intradiscal element, and an intradiscal element including a first articular surface having a generally arcuate cross-section for articulating with said first intradiscal insert, and a second generally planar surface for interacting with a second intradiscal insert.
