DEVICES AND APPROACH FOR PRONE INTERVERTEBRAL IMPLANT

摘要

The present disclosure provides a novel method for accessing the spinal disc space, instrumentation for discectomy and implantation of spinal implants, and unique designs for intervertebral spinal implants. In particular, the present disclosure describes modular interlocking spinal implants that can be assembled during surgery, for the purpose of implantation between vertebral bodies that is unique to the disc space, creating vertebral stabilization, correction of spinal scoliosis, reducing segmental motion, greater arthrodesis potential, reduction of pain, and other benefits. The present disclosure provides increased permutation of implant shapes to match a subject specific spinal disease.
