9 results about "Lumbar vertebral column" patented technology

The vertebrae in the human vertebral column are divided into different regions, which correspond to the curves of the spinal column. The articulating vertebrae are named according to their region of the spine. Vertebrae in these regions are essentially alike, with minor variation.

Controllable expanding and reposition device for spinal fracture

The invention relates to the technical field of spinal fracture treatment, in particular to a spinal fracture controllable expansion reset device which comprises a first insertion screw rod, a first locking bolt is arranged in the first insertion screw rod, and a middle connecting piece is arranged at the top of the first insertion screw rod. According to the spinal fracture controllable expanding and resetting device, by arranging the adjusting and locking assembly, a first insertion screw rod is screwed into the spine, then a second insertion screw rod can be pushed to rotate around a rotating shaft rod, and the angle of the second insertion screw rod needs to be adjusted according to a pointer and a scale ring plate when the second insertion screw rod is arranged at the initial position; the second insertion screw rod is inserted into the vertebral column, it is ensured that the second insertion screw rod is aligned with the bent vertebral column when placed into the vertebral column, after the second insertion screw rod is adjusted to the vertical direction, a locking screw rod and a nut need to be used for locking, and therefore the angle of the second insertion screw rod is locked, centrum reduction treatment is completed, spine fracture distraction reduction can be achieved in a posterior operation, the reduction effect is excellent, and practicability is high.

Method making it possible to produce the ideal curvature of a rod of vertebral osteosynthesis material designed to support a patient's vertebral column

A method and system for producing a curvature of a rod of vertebral osteosynthesis material designed to support a vertebral column of a patient is provided. A production unit receives a model defining the curvature of the rod. The curvature of the rod is based on a preoperative X-ray of the vertical column and defined by a simulated correction to be applied to the lumbar segment to be treated, a deduced curved segment representing the curvature of the rod based at least in part on one or more of a lumbar lordosis or a first curvature above a repositioned apex point and the second curvature below the repositioned apex point, and a translated curved segment representative of the deduced curved segment being translated away from a mean line of the vertebral column. The production unit uses computer aided design to produce the rod.

Systems and methods for treating spinal conditions

Systems and methods are provided for treating and / or correcting spinal diseases, disorders, conditions, and deformities. A method for decompressing a spine of a patient comprises advancing first and second bone anchors through an opening in the patient to a target portion of a vertebral column and securing the first and second bone anchors to first and second bones within the vertebral column. A connector element is positioned between the first and second bone anchors and a force is applied to the connector element to distract the vertebral column and at least partially decompress the target portion of the vertebral column. The force applied by the connector element may be sufficient to increase the distance between two adjacent vertebral bodies to restore disc height or it may be sufficient to increase the space within the neural foramina in the patient to open the neural foramina and decompress one or more nerve roots therein.
