The electrical bone growth stimulator includes a mesh that surrounds at least a portion of the bone growth material, and the electrical bone growth stimulator is configured to conduct an electric current to stimulate tissue growth adjacent to the electrical bone growth stimulator.

Load sensing assembly for a spinal implant

A load sensing assembly for a spinal implant includes a set screw having a central opening that extends from a first end of the set screw toward a second end of the set screw. The second end of the set screw is configured to engage with an anchoring member. The load sensing assembly includes an antenna, an integrated circuit in communication with the antenna, where the integrated circuit is positioned within the central opening of the set screw, and a strain gauge in connection with the integrated circuit. The strain gauge is located within the central opening of the set screw in proximity to the second end of the set screw.

Spinal implant system

Surgical implant system and method

A surgical instrument comprises a body. A first member extends between a first end and a second end. A second member extends between a first end connected with the body and a second end. A third member is connected to the first end of the first member and the body to relatively axially translate the second ends. The third member includes a latch and a lock engageable with the latch. The latch is disposable in a locking orientation and a non-locking orientation. Systems and methods of use are disclosed.

Surgical instrument and method

A surgical instrument comprises a member configured for connection to an image guide defining an axis and being oriented relative to a sensor to communicate a signal representative of a position of the member. A stabilizer is aligned with the axis and configured to resist and/or prevent movement of the image guide from the orientation. Systems and methods are disclosed.

Surgical implant system

Surgical implant system and method

A surgical instrument comprises a first member including an inner surface that defines a cavity and an outer surface configured to space tissue. The first member includes a first locking surface. A second member is configured for disposal within the cavity and extends between a first end configured to penetrate tissue and a second end configured to generate a signal representative of a position of the second member. The second member includes a second locking surface. The members are disposable between a first orientation such that the locking surfaces are engaged to resist relative axial translation of the members and a second orientation such that the locking surfaces are disengaged and the second member is axially translatable relative to the first member. Systems and methods are disclosed.

Assessment of spinal column integrity

A method of assessing spinal column stability involves receiving image data corresponding to a spinal column of a patient; determining, based on the image data, a material strength of bony anatomy in at least a portion of the spinal column; completing a first stability assessment of the spinal column, based at least in part on the determined material strength; modifying the image data to simulate removal of bony anatomy or soft tissue from the spinal column to yield modified image data; and completing a second stability assessment of the spinal column, based at least in part on the determined material strength and the modified image data.

Wearable sensor device and analysis platform for objective outcome assessment in spinal diseases technical field

A system for assessing a spinal disorder includes a wearable electronic device having one or more sensors and an assessment system. The wearable electronic device is configured to be positioned on a portion of a lower back of a wearer, and the one or more sensors are configured to obtain patient data associated with the wearer. The system receives patient data from the one or more sensors, where the patient data includes movement data associated with movement of the lower back of the wearer, classifies the movement data into an initial grouping, further classifies the at least a portion of the movement data into one of the plurality of activity categories, generate a score corresponding to the at least a portion of the movement data based on the activity category to which the movement data is classified, and cause the score to be displayed via a client electronic device.

Pre-operative assessment and inventory management system

A system of generating a pre-operative assessment of a patient includes an assessment system configured to communicate with client electronic devices. The system receives patient information pertaining to a patient, uses the patient information to access one or more medical images associated with the patient, performs one or more image processing techniques on the one or more medical images to identify measurements pertaining to an internal bodily structure of the patient, identifies one or more implant components for the patient, determines whether the one or more implant components are currently stocked, in response to determining that the one or more implant components are not currently stocked, automatically generates and placing an order for the one or more implant components that are not stocked, generates a pre operative assessment for the patient, and causes the assessment to be displayed on a display device of a client electronic device.

Pre-operative assessment and inventory management system

Devices, methods, and systems for assessing suitability of spinal implants

A system for assessing spinal implants includes at least one processor, and a memory storing instructions for execution by the at least one processor that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to receive first image data of a spinal column of a patient, determine, based on the first image data, a property of first bony anatomy in at least a first portion of the spinal column, determine, based on the property of the first bony anatomy, an initial screw trajectory for inserting a screw into the spinal column, virtually insert the screw along the initial screw trajectory using the first image data to generate modified first image data, perform an initial loading simulation for the virtually inserted screw using the modified first image data, and determine, based on the initial loading simulation, a suitability of the initial screw trajectory for implanting the screw into the spinal column.
