Apparatus, systems, and methods for the fixation or fusion of bone

a technology of fixation or fusion, applied in the field of bone fixation or fusion, can solve the problems of too much movement between two vertebrae, affecting the ability of each spinal segment to bear weight, so as to speed up the fusion and/or stabilization process, reduce the risk of fracture, and reduce the effect of incision

Abstract

Assemblies of one or more implant structures make possible the achievement of diverse interventions involving the fusion and / or stabilization of the SI-joint and / or lumbar and sacral vertebra in a non-invasive manner, with minimal incision, and without the necessitating the removing the intervertebral disc. The representative lumbar spine interventions, which can be performed on adults or children, include, but are not limited to, SI-joint fusion or fixation; lumbar interbody fusion; translaminar lumbar fusion; lumbar facet fusion; trans-iliac lumbar fusion; and the stabilization of a spondylolisthesis.
