Embodiment Construction

[0014] Exemplary embodiments of the disclosed surgical systems and associated methods of use are discussed in relation to medical devices for treating musculoskeletal disorders and, more specifically, spinal implant systems including bone fasteners. In one embodiment, the spinal implant system of the present invention includes an implant comprising a bone fastener, such as a pedicle bone screw. In some embodiments, the systems and methods of the present disclosure are used with spinal arthrodesis or fixation procedures, eg, with the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and / or sacral regions of the spine.

[0015] In some embodiments, the spinal implant system of the present invention comprises a modular pedicle screw system comprising a double ring configuration. In some embodiments, the spinal implant system of the present invention includes a mechanism to prevent and / or prevent disengagement of the retainer of the modular screw system. In some embodiments, the spinal implant system ...

Abstract

A bone fastener comprises a first member defining an implant cavity and a plurality of adjacent grooves. A first band is configured for disposal within the grooves. A second band is configured for disposal within the grooves. A second member is configured to penetrate tissue and includes a head engageable with the first band to provisionally connect the members. The second band is moveable for disposal adjacent the first band to fix connection of the members. Implants, systems, instruments and methods are disclosed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to medical devices for treating spinal conditions, and more particularly to a surgical implant system including bone fasteners and related methods. Background technique [0002] Spinal disorders and conditions such as scoliosis and other curvature abnormalities, kyphosis, degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, osteoporosis, spondylolisthesis, stenosis, tumors and fractures can be caused by factors including injury and aging trauma, disease and 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 may be effective, however, may not relieve the symptoms associated with these conditions. Surgical treatments for these spinal conditions include correction, fusion, immobilization, discectomy, laminectomy, and implantable prostheses. As ...
