Embodiment Construction

[0026] Exemplary embodiments of the disclosed surgical implant systems and related methods of use will be discussed in connection with medical devices for treating musculoskeletal disorders, and more particularly, in connection with surgical implants for delivering implants to surgical sites. Injection systems and methods used to treat the spine are discussed.

[0027] In one embodiment, a surgical implant system is used in a method comprising inserting a rod through the same puncture incision in which a pedicle screw is placed percutaneously. In one embodiment, the system includes a surgical instrument, such as a rod inserter. In one embodiment, the surgical instrument grips an implant, such as a longitudinal rod, by pulling a flexible shaft through the hollow body of the rod inserter. In one embodiment, a surgical instrument includes: an outer sleeve having a T-shaped slot cross-section; and a flexible inner shaft having one or more T-shaped beads (e.g., four beads ), the ...

Abstract

A surgical instrument comprises a body. A first member extends between a first end and a second end. A second member extends between a first end connected with the body and a second end. A third member is connected to the first end of the first member and the body to relatively axially translate the second ends. The third member includes a latch and a lock engageable with the latch. The latch is disposable in a locking orientation and a non-locking orientation. Systems and methods of use are disclosed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to medical devices for treating musculoskeletal disorders, and more particularly to a surgical implant system for delivering an implant to a surgical site and a method for treating the spine. Background technique [0002] Spinal disorders and diseases such as scoliosis and other curvature abnormalities, kyphosis, degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, osteoporosis, spondylolisthesis, stenosis, tumors and fractures can result from injuries and aging including trauma, disease And factors like degenerative conditions. Disorders of the spine often result in symptoms including deformation, pain, nerve damage and partial or complete loss of mobility. [0003] Nonsurgical treatments such as medications, rehabilitation, and exercise may be effective, but may not relieve the symptoms associated with these disorders. Surgical treatments for these spinal disorders include correction, fusion, immobilization, discecto...
