Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods and devices for distracting adjacent vertebrae during surgical procedures for implanting spinal prostheses. In an exemplary embodiment, a distractor is disclosed that maintains the empty space between adjacent vertebrae following a discectomy, and that can removably mate with other surgical instruments, such as, for example, a filler bar, an implanting tool, or a funnel. In other embodiments of the present invention a distractor is disclosed having various features to assist in implanting a spinal prosthesis, such as, for example, an angled distal end and/or an expandable paddle. In another embodiment of the present invention, an articulating inserter is disclosed. Moreover, various implants and funnels are also disclosed herein.
Claims (62)
1. A surgical instrument system, comprising:
a distracter including a shaft and a paddle, the paddle being located on a distal end of the shaft;
a filler bar shaped to removably engage the shaft and paddle of the distracter;
wherein when the filler bar is engaged to the distracter, the filler bar provides rigidity and torque strength so that the distracter can be inserted between adjacent vertebrae in a first orientation and rotated to distract the adjacent vertebrae.
a distracter including a shaft and a paddle, the paddle being located on a distal end of the shaft;
a filler bar shaped to removably engage the shaft and paddle of the distracter;
wherein when the filler bar is engaged to the distracter, the filler bar provides rigidity and torque strength so that the distracter can be inserted between adjacent vertebrae in a first orientation and rotated to distract the adjacent vertebrae.
2. The system of claim 1, wherein the distracter paddle includes a first height dimension when presented in an insertion orientation and a second height dimension when rotated approximately 90 degrees to a distraction orientation, the second height dimension being greater than the first height dimension, the paddle having inferior and superior surfaces for contacting adjacent vertebrae in the distraction orientation.
3. The system of claim 2, wherein the filler bar extends substantially along at least one side of the shaft and paddle.
4. The system of claim 3, wherein the filler bar is dimensioned so as not to extend beyond the superior and inferior surfaces of the paddle.
5. The system of claim 3, wherein the filler bar is slidably engageable to and removable from the distracter along a longitudinal axis of the distracter.
6. The system of claim 2, wherein at least one of the inferior and superior surfaces of the paddle include a means for preventing migration of the distracter during distraction.
7. The system of claim 6, wherein the means for preventing migration includes a bone engaging element.
8. The system of claim 7, wherein the bone engaging element includes at least one tooth.
9. The system of claim 6, wherein the means for preventing migration includes at least one expansion shoulder operable to extend beyond at least one of the inferior or superior surfaces so as to increase the second height dimension.
10. The system of claim 2, wherein the distractor paddle and shaft present a guide surface for guiding the placement of an implant when the distractor is in the distraction orientation, and the distractor paddle further comprises an angled guide feature that is configured to guide an implant through a partial rotation to a desired angle.
11. The system of claim 10, wherein the angled guide feature includes an angled surface integral with a distal portion of the paddle.
12. The system of claim 10, wherein the angled guide feature is provided on a movable shim operable to extend from the guide surface to guide an implant through a partial rotation.
13. The system of claim 12, wherein the movable shim: is retractable.
14. The system of claim 10, wherein the angled guide feature is formed from a shape memory material.
15. The system of claim 10, further comprising an implant inserter having an angled distal end, the angle corresponding approximately to the angle provided on the angled guide feature.
16. The system of claim 10, further comprising an implant inserter having an articulating implant holder operable to rotate an implant to a desired angle.
17. The system of claim 2, further comprising a minimally invasive access port through which the distracter is dimensioned to be placed.
18. The system of claim 2, further comprising a guide feature extending along the shaft and paddle, the guide feature configured for mating with at least one of an implant and an implant insterter to guide an insertion of an implant along the distracter.
19. The system of claim 2, further comprising at least one overhanging tab provided on at least one of the inferior and superior surfaces.
