Apparatus and methods for measuring spacing between first and second bone screws engaged with first and second bone structures are provided. An apparatus comprises first and second arms operably engaged with a single pivot pin. The first arm includes a distal end adapted to engage the first bone screw, and a proximal end comprising a graduated scale. The second arm, operably engaged with the first arm via the single pivot pin, includes a distal end adapted to engage the second bone screw, and a proximal end comprising an indicator segment slidably engaged with the graduated scale. A position of the indicator segment relative to the graduated scale is therefore indicative of a spacing between the first and second bone screws.

Apparatus and method for sizing a connecting element for positioning along a bone structure

A bone fixation element includes a distal end defining a longitudinal axis and being configured to penetrate tissue, a proximal end defining an axial opening disposed in communication with a transverse passageway and a fastener including a proximal portion having spaced apart walls that define an implant cavity and a distal portion disposed with the transverse passageway and configured to penetrate tissue. The distal end is disposable in spaced apart relation to the distal portion of the fastener within tissue. Methods of use are disclosed.

Bone fixation element and methods of use

A surgical instrument comprises a first wall defining a cavity disposed for communication with a suction source and extending between a first end and a second end. The first end includes at least a portion of a valve disposed for communication with the cavity. The second end includes at least a portion of an implant engaging surface. A second wall is connected to the first wall and extending between a first end and a second end. The first end includes an impact surface and the second end includes at least a portion of the implant engaging surface. Methods of use are disclosed.

Spinal implant system and method

A bone fastener includes a proximal member having an inner surface that defines an implant cavity and an outer surface including a first threaded portion configured for penetrating fixation with tissue and a second portion. The proximal member defines a longitudinal axis. An intermediate member includes an inner surface extending between a proximal portion connected with the second portion and a distal portion. A distal member includes an outer surface extending between a proximal portion disposed with the distal portion of the intermediate member and a distal portion configured for penetrating fixation with tissue. The distal member is configured for axial translation relative to the intermediate member. Methods of use are disclosed.
