Embodiment Construction

[0017] Exemplary embodiments of the disclosed systems and associated methods of use are discussed in the context of medical devices for treating musculoskeletal disorders, and more particularly, in the context of surgical systems and methods for correcting spinal disorders. In some embodiments, the present surgical system includes one or more surgical instruments that can be used with spinal constructs to treat spinal disorders. In some embodiments, the present surgical system may be used with pedicle subtraction osteotomy and posterior spondylectomy to correct angular and fixed kyphosis, such as post-traumatic, congenital, and / or post-infectious deformity.

[0018] In some embodiments, the present surgical system includes a surgical instrument including an adjustable compression and / or propping point. In some embodiments, the present surgical system includes a surgical instrument that includes an adjustable fulcrum member that can be used with a multiaxial screw (MAS), a rei...

Abstract

A surgical instrument comprises a fulcrum including a first surface that defines a cavity configured for disposal of a first implant support. A second surface is movable relative to the fulcrum and engageable with the support to fix the first surface with the support. A third surface is connected with the second surface such that the second surface is translatable relative to the support and the third surface is engageable with a second implant support. In some embodiments, spinal constructs, implants, systems and methods are disclosed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to medical devices for treating spinal disorders, and more particularly to surgical systems and methods for correcting spinal disorders. Background technique [0002] Spinal disorders such as degenerative disc disease, disc herniation, osteoporosis, spondylolisthesis, stenosis, scoliosis and other curvature abnormalities, kyphosis, tumors and fractures may be caused by including trauma, disease and by injury and aging caused by degenerative diseases. Disorders of the spine often cause symptoms, including pain, nerve damage, and partial or complete loss of mobility. [0003] Nonsurgical treatments, such as medication, rehabilitation, and exercise may be effective, however, may not relieve the symptoms associated with these disorders. Surgical treatments for these spinal conditions include correction, corpectomy, discectomy, laminectomy, fusion, fixation, and implantable prostheses. Corrective treatments for ve...
