| 20120109316 | Intervertebral Implant, Insertion Tool and Method of Inserting Same - An intervertebral implant, alone and in combination with an insertion tool for inserting same and a method for inserting same. The implant has upper and lower parts which have universal movement relative to each other. Each of the upper and lower parts also has a surface engaging an adjacent vertebrae. Each part has a keel extending from said surface into a cutout in the adjacent vertebrae, and each keel has an anterior opening recess therein. An insert tool has a pair of arms which are received in the recess of the keels through the anterior opening to securely hold and insert the implant. Projections and matching indentations in each arm and the base of its recess securely attached each arm within its keel. | 05-03-2012 |

| 20080269756 | SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS FOR SPINAL DISC IMPLANTS AND RELATED METHODS - Trials for spinal surgery include: (a) a trial implant portion having a shape corresponding to an implantable spinal disc implant; (b) a shaft connected to the trial implant portion; and (c) at least one axially extending cutting guide slot attached to the shaft at a position that is axially spaced apart from the trial implant portion, the cutting guide slot configured to releasably slidably receive and guide a cutting blade toward vertebral bone. Also described are additional surgical instruments, including, for example, pilot-hole punches, inserters, and methods of cutting keelways. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20100228299 | IMPLANT FOR FUSION OF BONES AND/OR BONE PARTS - In an implant for fusion of bones or bone parts, particularly of the carpal region of a wrist, as well as for application of compression between the bones or bone parts, a base body with bone screws is provided, which are guided in recesses that possess a geometry by means of which the compression between the bone, in each instance, can be adjusted, whereby the base body is configured with rotation symmetry. The geometry of its recesses has the shape of an oblong hole curved in the circumference direction of the base body, in each instance, whose curvature, with reference to the central axis of the base body, runs at an incline to this axis, in such a manner that the bone screws screwed into the bones and guided in the recesses in the manner of a motion link can be moved in the direction of the inclined oblong holes, radially toward the central axis of the base body, by means of a rotational movement of the base body. | 09-09-2010 |

| 20100331988 | Instruments and Method For Inserting An Intervertebral Implant - Instruments and methods for inserting an intervertebral implant. Insertion of the implant is accomplished by grasping the implant between the arms of an insertion instrument having arms which separate from each other and close against each other onto the implant, such that the ends of the arms of the insertion instrument engage recesses of the implant. A spacer may be provided between the arms of the insertion instrument to help position the implant while held by the arms. | 12-30-2010 |
