Lordotic Expandable Interbody Implant And Method
US Patent:
2012008, Apr 12, 2012
Filed:
Feb 18, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/030618
Inventors:
Nicholas Poulos - Belleville IL, US
International Classification:
A61F 2/44
US Classification:
623 1716
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to an intervertebral implant that can be surgically introduced between adjacent vertebral bodies and adjusted or expanded in situ to occupy an optimal or desired space between the vertebral bodies. The implant is preferably inserted into the evacuated disc space obliquely and then oriented so as to extend laterally across the anterior adjacent vertebrae bodies occupying the disc space with the outer ends of the implant being supported by the cortical rims on the opposite sides of the vertebrae bodies. The implant has two body members with a space therebetween so the implant may be then distracted and a spacer of a, predetermined thickness may be inserted within the space between the body members so as to maintain a desired amount of distraction. The upper and lower surfaces of the implant may have a desired lordotic angle. A method of using an implant is also disclosed.
System And Method Of Cervical Distraction For Reoperative Procedures
US Patent:
2014002, Jan 23, 2014
Filed:
Jul 19, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/553346
Inventors:
Nicholas Poulos - Belleville IL, US
International Classification:
A61F 2/44
US Classification:
623 1716
Abstract:
A system is disclosed for distracting a disc space in a cervical spine at a level adjacent to a previously operated disc space where, in the previous surgery, a cervical plate has been applied to the anterior of the spine to span the previously operated upon disc space and where the cervical plate is attached to the vertebrae bodies on opposite sides of the previously operated upon disc space with the cervical plate covering at least a portion of the vertebrae bodies. A conventional distractor post is screwed into a third vertebrae body, and a second distractor post or member is fixedly and removably secured to the cervical plate. A conventional distractor instrument is applied to the posts of both distractor posts for applying a distraction force to the vertebrae bodies delimiting the disc space to be operated upon. A surgical method of distraction is also disclosed.
Expandable Interbody Implant And Method
US Patent:
2013017, Jul 11, 2013
Filed:
Jul 6, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/543126
Inventors:
Nicholas Poulos - Belleville IL, US
International Classification:
A61F 2/44
US Classification:
623 1716
Abstract:
An intervertebral implant that can be surgically introduced between adjacent vertebrae and expanded in situ to occupy an optimal space between the vertebrae. The implant is inserted into the evacuated disc space obliquely and then oriented so as to extend laterally across the anterior adjacent vertebrae with its outer ends of the implant supported by the cortical rims on the opposite sides of the vertebrae. The implant has two body members with a space therebetween so the implant may be then distracted and a spacer of predetermined thickness that may be inserted within the space between the body members so as to maintain a desired amount of distraction. The upper and lower surfaces of the implant may have a desired lordotic angle. A method of using an implant is disclosed which permits endoscopic visualization of the disc space.
Lumbar Implant
US Patent:
2011008, Apr 14, 2011
Filed:
Oct 7, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/899625
Inventors:
Nicholas Poulos - Belleville IL, US
International Classification:
A61F 2/44, A61B 17/88
US Classification:
623 1716, 606279
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to an intervertebral disc prostheses or implant, and more particularly to an intervertebral disc prosthesis that can be surgically introduced between adjacent vertebral bodies and adjusted or expanded in situ to occupy an optimal or desired space between the vertebral bodies. The implant is preferably inserted into the evacuated disc space obliquely and then oriented so as to extend laterally across the anterior adjacent vertebrae bodies occupying the disc space with the outer ends of the implant being supported by the cortical rims on the opposite sides of the vertebrae bodies. The outer convex surfaces of the two body members conform anatomically to the shape of the disc space contacting the endplates. The implant has two body members that are movable relative to one another so as to vary the space between the members. With the implant so positioned and oriented, the disc space and the implant may be then distracted and a spacer of a desired, predetermined thickness may be inserted within the space between the body members so as to maintain a desired amount of distraction. A method of using an implant is also disclosed.
