Abstract
The present application is generally directed to implantable systems, devices and related methods pertaining to spinal surgery. In particular, the present application discloses a frame and spacer system for inserting into a disc space. The frame and spacer system is of low profile. The frame can receive different fixation devices, including threaded and non-threaded fixation devices.
Claims20
A surgical system comprising:
- a frame, wherein the frame comprises a first side, a second side, a third side, and a fourth side that form a continuous perimeter around a frame opening, and wherein the frame includes an upper surface extending between the first side, the second side, the third side, and the fourth side, a portion of the upper surface comprising an arched surface disposed in between a first slanted portion and a second slanted portion;
- a spacer received in the frame opening, wherein the spacer comprises a first portion defining a first side surface and terminating at a first distal end, a second portion defining a second side surface and terminating at a second distal end, wherein a gap is defined between the first and second distal ends, and a third portion connecting the first and second portions, the third portion defining a third side surface, wherein the first side surface and the second side surface each comprise a convex surface, wherein the third side surface comprises a concave surface corresponding engaged with the perimeter of the frame opening;
- and
- one or more fixation members insertable in the frame, wherein the one or more fixation members includes at least a first fixation member that is angled in an upward direction and a second fixation member that is angled in a downward direction
- wherein the first distal end and the second distal end are free ends.

A surgical system comprising:
- a frame, wherein the frame comprises a leading end, a trailing end, a first sidewall, and a second sidewall that form a continuous perimeter around a frame opening, and wherein the frame includes an upper surface extending between the leading end, the trailing end, the first sidewall, and the second sidewall, a portion of the upper surface comprising an arched surface disposed in between a first slanted portion and a second slanted portion;
- a spacer received in the frame opening, wherein the spacer comprises a first portion defining a first side surface and terminating at a first distal end, a second portion defining a second side surface and terminating at a second distal end, wherein a gap is defined between the first and second distal ends, and a third portion connecting the first and second portions, the third portion defining a third side surface, wherein the first side surface and the second side surface each comprise a convex surface, wherein the third side surface comprises a concave surface corresponding engaged with the perimeter of the frame opening;
- and
- one or more fixation members insertable in the trailing end of the frame, wherein the one or more fixation members includes at least a first fixation member that is angled in an upward direction and a second fixation member that is angled in a downward direction
- wherein the first distal end and the second distal end are free ends.
