Embodiment Construction

[0030] Exemplary embodiments of the disclosed surgical system and associated methods of use are discussed with respect to medical devices for treating musculoskeletal disorders, and more specifically to surgical systems comprising spinal implants with variable angle screw fixation . In one embodiment, the systems and methods of the present disclosure are used for spinal arthrodesis, eg, in the cervical region, thoracic region, lumbar region, and / or sacral region of the spine. In some embodiments, the present surgical system includes a spinal implant comprising a hyperlordotic scaffold with variable angle screw fixation. In some embodiments, the present surgical system comprises a spinal implant configured to induce flexion and posteriorly without a complete transpedicular vertebral osteotomy (PSO). Compresses the spine. In some embodiments, the surgical system of the present invention employs a method comprising a Smith-Petersen osteotomy for removal of the posteriormost bon...

Abstract

A method for treating a spine is provided. The method includes the steps of: disposing an interbody implant adjacent a first vertebral surface and a second vertebral surface of an intervertebral discspace, the interbody implant engaging the vertebral surfaces at a selected angular orientation; connecting the interbody implant with at least one of the vertebral surfaces via at least one fastener that is engaged with the interbody implant and fixed with the vertebral surface such that the at least one fastener is movable to a plurality of axial orientations relative to the interbody implant; and manipulating the vertebral surfaces such that the at least one fastener is fixed relative to the interbody implant. Spinal implants, surgical instruments and systems are disclosed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to medical devices for treating musculoskeletal disorders, and more particularly, to a surgical system and method of treating the spine. Background technique [0002] Spinal lesions and conditions (such as degenerative, isthmic and iatrogenic spondylolisthesis, degenerative disc disease, disc herniation and stenosis) can be caused by diseases and degenerative conditions caused by injury, previous surgery and aging. These spinal disorders often produce symptoms that include deformation, pain, nerve damage, and partial or total loss of mobility. Kyphosis and spondylolisthesis, or anterior translation of one vertebra relative to the underlying vertebral body, can occur in many of these conditions and lesions. [0003] Nonsurgical treatments such as medication, rehabilitation, and exercise may be effective but may not reduce the symptoms associated with these conditions. Current surgical treatment of these spinal ...
