A spinal construct includes a coupling member including a first mating surface engageable with an existing fastener implant. The existing fastener implant being connected with an existing spinal rod implant. A connector is engageable with the existing fastener implant and has a rod extending therefrom. A locking member is engageable with a second mating surface of the coupling member. Systems, surgical instruments, implants and methods are disclosed.

Spinal implant system and method

A surgical instrument is provided that includes a first member defining a longitudinal axis and including a first mating surface engageable with a second mating surface of a fastener. A second member includes an expandable portion. A third member is engageable with the expandable portion to releasably capture the fastener. A first lever is connected to the first member, and a second lever is connected with the first lever via a pivot. The levers being rotatable relative to the longitudinal axis between a non-locked orientation and a locked orientation such that the pivot is rotatable past axial alignment to fix position of the first member relative to the fastener. Systems, spinal constructs, implants and methods are disclosed.

Surgical instrument and method

A load sensing assembly for a spinal implant includes a set screw having a central opening that extends from a first end of the set screw toward a second end of the set screw. The second end of the set screw is configured to engage with an anchoring member. The load sensing assembly includes an antenna, an integrated circuit in communication with the antenna, where the integrated circuit is positioned within the central opening of the set screw, and a strain gauge in connection with the integrated circuit. The strain gauge is located within the central opening of the set screw in proximity to the second end of the set screw.

Break-off set screw

A surgical device has a shaft including a proximal portion and a distal portion being disposable with a surgical robot guide to engage vertebral tissue. The proximal portion defines a detectable marker and is connectable with at least one surgical instrument for manipulating the vertebral tissue. Systems, surgical instruments, spinal implants, constructs and methods are disclosed.

Surgical implant system and methods of use

A surgical instrument includes a first member being engageable to an inner surface of a spinal implant. An actuator is connected to a second member such that the second member is translatable relative to the first member for connecting the spinal implant to a bone fixation device. Systems, spinal constructs, implants and methods are disclosed.

A spinal construct comprises a fastener including a head. A member includes an inner surface defining a cavity configured for disposal of the head and a groove configured for disposal of a band that is engageable with the head to connect the fastener and the member. The member includes a transverse rod. A coupling member is engageable with the inner surface. Implants, systems, instruments and methods are disclosed.

Spinal construct

A spinal-surgery system having a rod receiver and/or a cap. The cap has a cylindrical body, opposing splay-resisting flanges, and an opposing rotation-preventing/rotation-resisting wings, each wing having a lateral rotation-preventing surface and a lateral rotation-resisting surface. A receiver proximal end forms a wing-receiving cavity having a lateral rotation-preventing side and a lateral rotation-resisting side. Each flange has a proximal-facing cap splay-resist surface, and a distal-facing cap pop-on surface. Each receiver proximal protrusion has a proximal-facing sloped receiver pop-on surface, and a distal-facing sloped receiver splay-resist surface. Each rotation-preventing surface contacts a corresponding rotation-preventing side and each rotation-resisting surface contacts a corresponding rotation-resisting sides when the cap is popped on. The rotation-preventing surfaces contacting the rotation-preventing sides prevents cap rotation in a first direction. The rotation-resisting surfaces contacting the rotation-resisting sides resists cap rotation in a second direction, but allows cap rotation in the second direction to force receiver arm splay.

Pop-on-cap assemblies having opposing splay-resisting features and generally demi-teardrop opposing rotation-preventing/rotation-resisting features for spinal surgery

The present disclosure provides for a bone screw formed of continuous fibers, for example. The bone screw may include a first portion having a cylindrical shape and extending in a longitudinal direction from a first end to a second end, for example. In various embodiments, the first portion may include a thermoplastic material and/or be substantially formed of a thermoplastic material. In various embodiments, the bone screw may include a second portion coupled to the first portion and surrounding the first portion, at least partly, for example. In various embodiments, the second portion may include a plurality of layers, each layer comprising a continuous fiber material, for example. In various embodiments, the continuous fibers may be oriented longitudinally, diagonally, helically, radially, etc. In various embodiments, the second portion may define an exposed thread pattern and a leading tip.

Continuous fiber bone screw and method of manufacture

Various bone cement guides are disclosed that may connect directly to a fenestrated bone screw or connect to a spinal construct that is coupled to a fenestrated bone screw. In various embodiments, cement guides may include a three-part assembly including a hollow outer sleeve and a hollow inner sleeve with a removable inner rod. In various embodiments, the hollow inner sleeve may be movable between a retracted position and an extended position and in the extended position a distal end of the inner sleeve may splay outward and capture the head portion of a fenestrated bone screw. In other embodiments, a distal end of the outer sleeve may surround and capture tabs of an extended tulip head connector while the inner sleeve couples to an inside surface of the extended tulip head connector.

Cement delivery guides and corresponding fenestrated screws

A bone screw comprising a shaft having a wall, the wall including a minor diameter and at least one thread having an external thread form. The thread form including a first portion comprising a crest of the thread form and a second portion extends between a minor diameter of the thread form and the first portion. The first portion having a solid configuration relative to the second portion. In some embodiments, systems, spinal constructs, surgical instruments and methods are disclosed.

Bone screw and method of manufacture

A bone screw comprises a shaft defining a longitudinal axis and a minor diameter. The shaft including a core having an angled surface relative to the axis. The angled surface extending from the minor diameter adjacent a proximal portion of the shaft to a distal portion of the shaft, and a wall disposed about the angled surface. The wall including at least one thread having an external thread form. In some embodiments, systems, spinal constructs, surgical instruments and methods are disclosed.

A bone fastener comprises a first member defining a plurality of grooves. A coupling member is disposed with the first member. A first band and a second band are disposable within the grooves. A second member is configured to penetrate tissue and includes a head engageable with the first band to provisionally connect the first member to the second member. The coupling member is engageable with a part to move the part relative to the first member into engagement with the second band to dispose the second band adjacent the first band to connect the first member to the second member. Systems, surgical instruments, implants and methods are disclosed.

A surgical instrument comprises a member being engageable to a spinal implant configured for connection to a bone fastener shaft. An actuator is connected to the member. A latch is connected to the actuator and the connection is configured to change between at least one non-locked orientation such that the actuator is movable relative to the member and a locked orientation such that the actuator is fixed relative to the member. Systems, spinal constructs, implants and methods are disclosed.
