Methods and surgical tools for treating back pain use a spinal facet debridement tool with cautery and denuding action and minimally invasive protocol that can denude and cauterize soft tissue associated with a synovial capsule of the spinal facet joint.

Surgical tools for spinal facet therapy to alleviate pain and related methods

Methods and surgical tools for treating back pain use a spinal facet debridement tool with cautery and denuding action and minimally invasive protocol that can denude and cauterize soft tissue associated with a synovial capsule of the spinal facet joint whereby the synovial capsule between the spinal facet joint is removed by rotating the head of the combination debrider tool at a low rotation speed to scrape and cauterize the end plate receptor region so as to denude and denervate the joint preventing regeneration, and thereby treating back pain.

Minimally invasive methods for spinal facet therapy to alleviate pain and associated surgical tools, kits and instructional media

Surgical tools with an upwardly extending tubular support member having a longitudinally extending open channel are provided/described. The tubular support member has a wall surrounding the open channel. The tubular support member may include a base pivotably attached to the tubular support member so that a pivot axis extends above the bottom surface of the base across a bottom portion of the tubular support member to allow the tubular support member to pivot back and forth over a bottom surface of the base. The tubular support member can cooperate with downwardly extending k-wires that anchor to patient bone and/or a strap. One or all of the base, strap and/or k-wires may be used with surgical tools for treating back pain use a spinal facet debridement tool with cautery and denuding action and minimally invasive protocol that can denude and cauterize soft tissue associated with a synovial capsule of the spinal facet joint.

Surgical tools with positional components

Surgical portal driver

Methods and surgical tools for treating back pain use a spinal facet debridement tool with cautery and denuding action and minimally invasive protocol that uses a low rotation speed and a power source configured with a cautery head with scraping elements that can denude and cauterize soft tissue associated with a synovial capsule of the spinal facet joint.

A combination tissue removal and cauterization instrument includes one or more heads configured to remove tissue by mechanical cutting action resulting from rotation, vibration and/or other type of powered motion. The heads also have electroconductive outer surfaces to which electrical energy is supplied, thereby permitting the heads to simultaneously cauterize tissue that is not removed.
