The present disclosure includes systems for surgical navigation, the system comprising a tracking array attachable to a medical instrument, an image capturing device, and a navigation system that communicates with the image capturing device and generates tracking information of the medical device.

Surgical instrument tracking devices and related methods

A surgical access system comprising a tissue dilation assembly and a tissue retraction assembly, both of which may be equipped with one or more electrodes for use in detecting the existence of (and optionally the distance and/or direction to) neural structures.

Surgical access system and related methods

Systems and methods are described for correcting sagittal imbalance in a spine including instruments for performing the controlled release of the anterior longitudinal ligament through a lateral access corridor and hyper-lordotic lateral implants.

Methods and apparatus for performing spine surgery

Medical or surgical devices, instruments, systems, and methods for use in optically sensing loads acting on a patient's anatomy may include a surgical device or instrument configured for insertion to a surgical site and an interrogator coupled to the surgical device or instrument via an optical fiber having a sensing area at a location of the surgical device or instrument at which a load is to be sensed. The measured load may be used as being indicative of a load acting on a patient's anatomy. Such measured or determined load may be used to make decisions before, during, or after a patient procedure.

Surgical instruments, systems, and methods with optical sensors

An example retraction system includes a first retraction assembly, the first retraction assembly including a first arm coupled to a rack, a second arm coupled to the rack, a first retractor blade coupled to the first arm and a second retractor blade coupled to the second arm. The retraction system also includes a second retraction assembly, the second retraction assembly including a carriage configured to engage a blade post having a blade coupled to a distal end and a handle coupled to a proximal end, the blade post adjustable relative to the carriage. The retraction system also includes a third retractor blade coupled to the blade post.

Surgical retraction system

Method and apparatus for performing spine surgery

Implants, instruments, and methods for performing surgical procedures on the spine, including one or more of creating an operative corridor to the spine, delivering implants to the spine, fusing one or more segments of the spine and fixing one or more segments of the spine.

Method and apparatus for performing spinal fusion surgery

Implants, instruments, and methods for performing surgical procedures on the spine, including one or more of creating an operative corridor to the spine, delivering implants to the spine, fusing one or more segments of the spine, and fixing one or more segments of the spine.

Method and apparatus for performing spinal surgery

Systems and methods are described for correcting sagittal imbalance in a spine including instruments for performing the controlled release of the anterior longitudinal ligament through a lateral access corridor and hyper-lordotic lateral implants with detachable fixation tabs.

Methods and apparatus of performing spine surgery

Various implementations include rod reduction instruments, spinal fixation monitoring systems, and related methods. Certain implementations include a rod reduction instrument that is adapted for use with a spinal fixation system and includes a sensor configured to detect a load exerted by a rod reducer on a spinal rod, along with a reduction feedback system that provides an indicator of the load exerted by the rod reducer on the spinal rod.
