    • An orthopedic implant such as a spinal implant is made from a elastic biocompatible material (e.g. polyetheretherketone or PEEK) to provide a hinge that allows portions of the orthopedic implant to be folded into a closed position and to inherently deploy into an open position upon release of a folding bias. Hence, the orthopedic implant can accommodate a minimally invasive surgical procedure since the orthopedic implant can be introduced into the disc space in the closed position through a small-diameter insertion tube and then deploy to a particular height once the implant is released from the insertion tube (i.e. from release of the folding bias). The present implant is preferably, but not necessarily, made by injection molded PEEK. In this manner, the implant components are molded in the open position to cause the open position to be its innate position or form, thus allowing the implant to self-deploy (self-expand) when it is released from the folding bias.
    • 诸如脊椎植入物的矫形植入物由弹性生物相容性材料(例如聚醚醚酮或PEEK)制成,以提供铰链,该铰链允许矫形外科植入物的一部分折叠成关闭位置,并且在释放 折叠偏差。 因此,矫形植入物可以适应微创外科手术,因为整形外科植入物可以通过小直径插入管被引入关闭位置的椎间盘空间,然后一旦植入物从插入管中释放就展开到特定的高度 (即从折叠偏差的释放)。 本植入物优选但不一定由注射成型的PEEK制成。 以这种方式,植入部件被模制在打开位置以使得打开位置成为其先天位置或形式,从而允许植入物在从折叠偏压释放时自我展开(自展开)。

    • A spinal rod connector provides single step locking of a spinal rod relative to a bone screw. The single step lock-up is in line with the vertebral bone screw while still allowing for effectively 360° of rotation of a portion of the spinal rod connector assembly with the spinal rod (but functionally 180° or +/−90° of the 0° position depicted in the various figures). The present spinal rod connector assembly utilizes components having V-shapes of various angles to provide holding of the spinal rod. A pulling and compression force locks the spinal rod onto the spinal rod connector and thus relative to the vertebral bone screw to which the spinal rod connector assembly is attached. The present spinal rod connector allows easy sliding down on guides of the spinal rod connector assembly since spinal rod rotation locks up from the rod being pulled towards the vertebral bone screw.
    • 脊柱杆连接器提供相对于骨螺钉的脊柱杆的单步锁定。 单步锁定与椎骨螺钉一致,同时仍然允许脊柱杆连接器组件的一部分与脊柱杆的有效360度的旋转(但是功能上为0°的180°或+/- 90° °位置)。 本发明的脊柱杆连接器组件使用具有各种角度的V形的部件来提供脊柱杆的保持。 拉力和压缩力将脊柱杆锁定到脊椎杆连接器上并且因此将脊髓杆连接器组件附接到脊椎骨螺钉。 目前的脊柱杆连接器允许在脊柱杆连接器组件的引导件上容易地向下滑动,因为脊柱杆旋转锁定从杆被拉向椎骨螺钉。

    • A pedicle screw coupling construct for a pedicle screw construct provides fixation of angular orientation thereof relative to a pedicle screw independent of fixation of a received spinal rod to the coupling construct. The pedicle screw construct forms one component or element in a spinal fixation system. The independent fixation coupling construct also provides for fixation of the angular orientation of the coupling construct while the coupling construct has received the spinal rod. In another form, a coupling head or construct is configured to allow a pedicle screw shaft to pass therethrough but retain the pedicle screw head for rotation of the coupling head about the pedicle screw head. The coupling head or construct is also configured to allow at least a 45° arc of pivot or articulation about a pedicle screw shaft relative to a longitudinal axis of a spinal rod received in the body. This allows the head with a received spinal rod to fold, bend or pivot relative to the pedicle screw shaft, particularly to a greater degree than the prior art.

    • A spinal implant is configured to be received between bony spinal protrusions of adjacent vertebrae particularly, but not necessarily, in the lumbar region of the spine and hold them apart. The spinal implant may be used interlaminar, interbody or interbony protrusion. The present bony spinal protrusion spacer is not fixed to any bony structures of the vertebrae and, as such, use of the present bony spinal protrusion spacer does not result in fusion. It may therefore be removed if necessary. Attachment structures formed as part of the bony spinal protrusion spacer receive and engage portions of adjacent bony protrusions. The attachment structures provide one or more ridges, bumps, protrusions, projections, lips, flanges, overhangs, overhangs that are threadably engaged, extensions and/or the like that form one or more pockets or cavities into which portions of adjacent bony spinal protrusions are separately lodged and held. In this manner (via retention of the bony spinal protrusions), appropriate and/or desired spacing between adjacent vertebrae is maintained. As such, the present bony spinal protrusion spacer is designed to remain safely and permanently in place without attaching to the bone or ligaments of the back.

    • A spinal cross-connector is configured for adjustable connection between spinal fixation devices such as spinal fixation rods and allows for adjustment in length or distance between adjacent spinal rod clamping members and provides independent rotational adjustment of the two spinal rod clamping members for individual and independent attachment thereof to adjacent spinal rods of a spinal rod assembly. The cross-connector has first and second connection members that are adjustable in length and rotation relative to one another. A first spinal rod clamping member is provided on an end of the first connection member and defines first and second arced jaws that are adapted to clamp onto a first spinal rod. A second spinal rod clamping member is provided on an end of the second connection member and defines first and second arced jaws that are adapted to clamp onto a second spinal rod. Both the first and second clamping members are rotatable relative to the connection arms and thus provide the rotational adjustment. The individual and independent rotational adjustment of the spinal rod clamping members allows the present cross-connector to adjust to variations in skew between adjacent spinal rods as well as provide the ability to attach to the adjacent spinal rods at various angles between the adjacent spinal rods.
