Abstract
A surgical instrument comprises a member defining a longitudinal axis and is connectable with a spinal implant. The member is connected to a handle disposed transverse relative to the axis and rotatable about the axis. An image guide is connected with the member and oriented relative to a sensor to communicate a signal representative of a position of the spinal implant. Systems, implants, spinal constructs and methods are disclosed.
Claims18
A surgical instrument comprising:
- a member extending along a longitudinal axis between opposite first and second ends, the first end being connectable with a spinal implant;
- a handle coupled to the second end such that the handle is disposed transverse relative to the axis and is rotatable about the axis;
- an actuator disposed in the handle, the actuator including a pin;
- and
- an inner shaft including a body extending from the second end, the body comprising a surface defining a groove, the inner shaft including a collar, the collar comprising spaced apart slots,
- wherein the actuator is configured to linearly translate the pin toward the first end in a first direction to move the surgical instrument to a non-locking orientation in which the pin is positioned within the groove and the handle is rotatable relative to the member and toward the second end in an opposite second direction to move the surgical instrument to a locked orientation in which the pin is positioned one of the slots and the handle is prevented from rotating relative to the member.

A surgical instrument comprising:
- an outer shaft extending along a longitudinal axis between opposite first and second ends, the first end being connectable with a spinal implant;
- a handle coupled to the second end such that the handle is disposed transverse relative to the axis and is rotatable about the axis;
- an actuator connected with the shaft and the handle, the actuator comprising a pin and button;
- and
- an inner shaft including a body that is coupled to the outer shaft, the body comprising a surface defining a groove, the inner shaft including a collar, the collar comprising spaced apart slots,
- wherein the button is configured to linearly translate the pin toward the first end in a first direction to move the surgical instrument to a non-locking orientation in which the pin is positioned within the groove and the handle is rotatable relative to the member and toward the second end in an opposite second direction to move the surgical instrument to a locked orientation in which the pin is positioned one of the slots and the handle is prevented from rotating relative to the member.

A surgical system comprising:
- an interbody implant;
- a surgical instrument connectable with the interbody implant, the surgical instrument including a member defining extending along a longitudinal axis between opposite first and second ends,
- a handle coupled to the second end such that the handle is disposed transverse relative to the axis and is rotatable about the axis,
- an actuator disposed in a cavity of the handle, the actuator being connected with the member and including a pin, and
- an inner shaft including a body extending from the second end, the body comprising a surface defining a groove, the inner shaft including a collar, the collar comprising spaced apart slots,
- wherein the actuator is configured to linearly translate the pin toward the first end in a first direction to move the surgical instrument to a non-locking orientation in which the pin is positioned within the groove and the handle is rotatable relative to the member and toward the second end in an opposite second direction to move the surgical instrument to a locked orientation in which the pin is positioned one of the slots and the handle is prevented from rotating relative to the member.
