Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Described here are deformable monolithic, stabilization devices, or implants, suitable for use within bone and between bones, for instance, to fuse vertebral bodies, to repair herniated discs, or to repair spinal compression fractures. The implants are introduced into a chosen site at a first, smaller height and then plastically deformed to achieve a second, but unique, pre-selected, larger height. Variations of the device provide one or more specific larger heights. The devices are particularly suitable as intervertebral spinal fusion implants for the immobilization of adjacent vertebral bodies. Methods of deploying the implants are also described as are instruments for such deployment.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus for use in spinal surgery, comprising in combination: an orthopedic stabilizing device for placement in an interosseous space defined by adjacent bony surfaces, comprising a deformable monolithic body having a distal end, a proximal end and a longitudinal axis extending through the distal and proximal ends, said device being expandable along a height axis between a first smaller height to a second larger expanded height by deformation of the mon…
