Embodiment Construction

[0013] Exemplary embodiments of the disclosed surgical systems and associated methods of use are discussed in the context of medical devices for treating musculoskeletal disorders, and more particularly, surgical systems for treating the spine including spinal implants and Methods are discussed. In some embodiments, the surgical systems and methods of the present disclosure are used with spinal arthrodesis, for example, with the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and / or sacral regions of the spine.

[0014] In some embodiments, the present surgical system includes an implant such as, for example, a bone stimulator. In some embodiments, the present surgical system includes a spinal construct including a connecting member with an integrated bone growth stimulator. In some embodiments, the present surgical system includes a transverse link, a stabilized spinal construct, that provides a delivery means for electronic bone growth stimulation. In some embodiments, the spinal construct pr...

Abstract

A spinal implant includes a link having a first surface and a second surface connectable with a spinal construct. The spinal construct is attachable with one or more vertebral levels. A plurality of electrodes includes at least one electrode disposed with the first surface and at least one electrode disposed with the second surface such that the electrodes conduct an electric current to stimulatetissue growth adjacent the spinal construct. Systems, surgical instruments and methods are disclosed.

Description

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