A vertebral implant includes a body including an outer surface and an aperture forming an inner cavity. A gear including a plurality of teeth is rotatable within the cavity about a rotation axis. An anchor including a bone-engaging feature to engage the vertebral members may be operatively coupled to the gear. The gear teeth may be accessible from outside the body to rotate the gear. The anchor may be movable substantially along the rotation axis between a first position in which the bone-engaging feature is retracted below the outer surface and a second position in which the bone-engaging feature is extended above the outer surface.

Devices and methods for spinal stabilization include first and second anchor assemblies engageable to respective ones of first and second vertebrae and a connecting element engageable to the first and second anchor assemblies. The connecting element includes opposite first and second anchor engaging end portions and a length along a longitudinal axis between the first and second anchor engaging end portions sized for positioning between and engaging each of the first and second anchor assemblies when the first and second anchor assemblies are engaged to the respective vertebrae. The connecting element further includes a support portion between the first and second anchor engaging end portions. The support portion includes first and second support members spaced from one another on opposite sides of the longitudinal axis, and a stabilizing member extending between the support members in a transverse orientation to the longitudinal axis.

A stair-adjustable crutch characterized by an adjusting cuff having a cone with an elongated or extended, flared and offset lip and lip receptacle provided in the crutch foot to facilitate selective angular adjustment of the crutch foot and frame from an aligned configuration. This adjustment is effected by manipulation of a rod fitted with a pair of spaced-apart, wishbone-shaped legs extending into the cone, which legs are provided with shaped tabs or locks for selectively entering and exiting spaced-apart sets of vertical and angled slots in the cone of the adjusting cuff. Up and down movement of the adjusting rod facilitates both selective conventional operation of the crutch with the crutch foot in linear alignment, and angling of the crutch frame and upper crutch foot at the adjusting cuff with respect to the crutch foot below the adjusting cuff, to adjust the user's weight and more safely ascend and descend steps and stairs. A method for angularly adjusting a crutch frame and upper crutch foot with respect to the lower crutch foot by providing an adjusting cuff having a cone with an elongated, flared lip and lip receptacle in the crutch foot and a rod and lock mechanism that interacts with the adjusting cuff to facilitate more safely climbing and descending steps and stairs.

The present application is directed to an expandable intervertebral device. One context in which the device may be used is a corpectomy procedure to replace one or more vertebral members. The device is adjustable between a first orientation with a first overall height, and a second orientation with a second overall height. The device generally includes an inner member, an outer member, and a gear. Rotation of the gear causes relative movement between the inner and outer members to move between the first and second orientations and adjust the overall height.

Devices and methods for spinal stabilization include first and second anchor assemblies engageable to respective ones of first and second vertebrae and a connecting element engageable to the first and second anchor assemblies. The connecting element includes opposite first and second members and a dampener between the end members that provides a flexible bumper between the end members to provide dynamic stabilization of the spinal column when engaged to the anchor assemblies.

The present application is directed to methods and devices that provide for asymmetrical movement of vertebral members. In one embodiment, first and second anchors connect the rod to the vertebral members. The rod may be fixedly connected to the first anchor, and movably connected to the second anchor. A limiting device may be positioned on one or both sides of the second anchor. The limiting device or devices control an extent of movement between the rod and the second anchor during vertebral motion. In one embodiment, the device controls an amount of flexion and extension of the vertebral members.

A surgical instrument for assembling a spinal prosthesis to a plurality of anchoring members may be used to guide a driving tool and, if desired, to apply a distraction or compression force. The instrument includes two guide tubes with respective proximal, distal, and intermediate sections. The guide tubes are pivotally connected at their intermediate sections so that their respective longitudinal axes intersect and the cannulations of the guide tubes intersect. The surgical instrument may include a locking mechanism connecting the proximal portions and selectively operative to preserve an angular relationship between the guide tubes against at least one of increasing or decreasing.

Devices and methods for spinal stabilization include first and second anchors engageable to respective ones of first and second vertebrae and a connector assembly engageable with the anchors to provide a desired stabilization effect. The connector assembly includes a pair of bumper assemblies extending between the bone anchors and a connecting element extending through the bumper assemblies and connecting the first and second bone anchors to one another.
