The present subject disclosure provides a novel design for devices and methods for straightening a curved spine by using a reduction tool to move the spine with respect to an attached bone plate.

Reduction instruments and methods

The present disclosure in one aspect provides an adjustable depth drill guide comprising a trigger assembly further comprising a trigger and a primary actuating element and a telescopic rotational assembly which abuts the primary actuating element and further comprises an intermediate actuating element. The drill guide described herein allows a surgeon to adjust the depth of the drill guide using only one hand while in-situ.

Adjustable depth drill guide

A retractor includes retractor blades and one or more shims coupled to one or more of the retractor blades. The shims can include features configured to fasten the shim to vertebral anatomy. Such features can facilitate the use a K-wire or barbed features. Example disclosed shim designs include those featuring a K-wire feature, a barbed feature, and a K-wire with barb design.

Surgical shim

A posterior cervical fixation system including an occipital plate member, a cross connector, a pair of elongated spinal rods and a plurality of polyaxial screws. The occipital plate member configured for fixing to an occipital bone comprises an aperture to receive a bone anchor member to secure the occipital plate member to the occipital bone and at least one rod clamping element dimensioned to receive at least one spinal rod. The cross connector secures the pair of elongated spinal rods to vertebral bodies. The cross connector includes a pair of collet connectors and a cross bar that is configured to secure the pair of elongated spinal rods in a desired distance. Each polyaxial screw has an anchor head associated with a fastening member. The pair of elongated spinal rods is configured to extend along the vertebral bodies between the occipital plate member and at least one of the polyaxial screws.

Posterior cervical fixation system

This present subject disclosure provides a novel implant which is readily adjustable to provide a precise angle of lordosis. The implant may be positioned while in low profile, collapsed geometry, and may be expanded when in place to provide a precise angle of lordosis.

Expandable lordosis intervertebral implants

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.
