Definitions
- the principles disclosed herein relate generally to bone fixation and stabilization devices. More specifically, the disclosure relates to intervertebral connection systems suited for stabilization of the spine.
- the spinal column is a highly complex system of bones and connective tissues that provides support for the body and protects the delicate spinal cord and nerves.
- the spinal column includes a series of vertebrae stacked one atop the other, each vertebral body including an inner or central portion of relatively weak cancellous bone and an outer portion of relatively strong cortical bone. Situated between each vertebral body is an intervertebral disc that cushions and dampens compressive forces experienced by the spinal column.
- a vertebral canal containing the spinal cord and nerves is located behind the vertebral bodies.
- spinal column disorders including scoliosis (abnormal lateral curvature of the spine), kyphosis (abnormal forward curvature of the spine, usually in the thoracic spine), excess lordosis (abnormal backward curvature of the spine, usually in the lumbar spine), spondylolisthesis (forward displacement of one vertebra over another, usually in a lumbar or cervical spine) and other disorders caused by abnormalities, disease or trauma, such as ruptured or slipped discs, degenerative disc disease, fractured vertebra, and the like. Patients that suffer from such conditions usually experience extreme and debilitating pain, as well as diminished nerve function.
- the present invention generally involves a technique commonly referred to as spinal fixation whereby surgical implants are used for fusing together and/or mechanically immobilizing vertebrae of the spine.
- Spinal fixation may also be used to alter the alignment of adjacent vertebrae relative to one another so as to change the overall alignment of the spine.
- Such techniques have been used effectively to treat the above-described conditions and, in most cases, to relieve pain suffered by the patient.
- spinal rods that run generally parallel to the spine. This may be accomplished by exposing the spine posteriorly and fastening bone screws to the pedicles of the appropriate vertebrae. Clamping elements adapted for receiving a spinal rod therethrough are then used to join the spinal rods to the screws. The aligning influence of the rods forces the spine to conform to a more desirable shape. In certain instances, the spinal rods may be bent to achieve the desired adjustment of the spinal column.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,129,388 to Vignaud et al. discloses a spinal fixation device including a pedicle screw having a U-shaped head rigidly connected to an upper end of the screw.
- the U-shaped head includes two arms forming a U- shaped channel for receiving a spinal rod therein.
- the U-shaped head is internally threaded so that a setscrew having external threads may be screwed therein. After the pedicle screw has been inserted into bone and a spinal rod positioned in the U-shaped channel, the setscrew is threaded into the internal threads of the U-shaped channel for securing the spinal rod in the channel and resisting relative movement between the spinal rod and the pedicle screw.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,733,286 to Errico et al U.S. Pat. No. 5,672,176 to Biedermann et al.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,476,464 to Metz-Stavenhagen disclose polyaxial spinal fixation devices wherein the anchoring element fixed to the bone has a spherically-shaped head.
- the fixation devices in the above-identified patents also have orthopedic rod capturing assemblies for securing orthopedic rods in the capturing assemblies and connecting the rods with the anchoring elements.
- the spherically shaped heads of the anchoring elements permit movement of the anchoring elements relative to the orthopedic rod capturing assemblies.
- One inventive aspect of the disclosure relates to polyaxial anchor type orthopedic fixation devices adapted to simplify the surgical procedures required to provide stabilization between vertebral bodies.
