Disclosed herein are ratchet retracting handles and related methods for automatically retracting a stylet during insertion of a bone anchor.

Ratchet retracting handles and methods of using the same

Disclosed herein are stylet control handles and related methods for extending and retracting a stylet during insertion of a bone anchor, and for providing a visual indication of the extent of extension of the stylet.

Stylet control handles and methods of using the same

Disclosed herein are power modules and methods for insertion of a cannulated bone anchor and a stylet. Power modules disclosed herein are configured to adjustably control insertion of a bone anchor and a stylet under power from a motor. In certain embodiments, the motor may be included in a power hand piece. The power modules disclosed herein may be further configured to releasably couple a power hand piece to a driver for insertion of the bone anchor and stylet into the bone of a subject.

Power modules and methods for bone anchor and stylet insertion

Described herein are devices and methods for limiting the torque applied to surgical screw during a surgical procedure in which a surgical screw is passed into a vertebra, such as, for example, a spinal fusion procedure. A surgical screw driver is configured to prevent an excessive amount of torque from being delivered to the vertebrae through a surgical screw. When an excessive amount of torque is delivered to the handle of a surgical screw driver, it is prevented from being transmitted to the surgical screw and is thus not delivered to the vertebrae. Excessive force in the form of excessive torque transmitted to a vertebrae may cause a fracture along with possible mispositioning or displacement of a surgical screw.
