Interspinous-interlaminar stabilization systems and methods

A system configured to maintain spacing between a first bone and a second bone, the system comprising:

• an implant comprising a first pair of wings configured to grip the first bone therebetween;
• and
• a clamp configured to engage the first pair of wings to prevent deflection of the first pair of wings away from the first bone, the clamp comprising:
• a first superior arm comprising a first superior arm tab;
• a first inferior arm comprising a first inferior arm tab;
• a second superior arm comprising a second superior arm tab;
• and
• a second inferior arm comprising a second inferior arm tab
• wherein:
• the first superior arm tab extends laterally toward the second superior arm;
• the first inferior arm tab extends laterally toward the second inferior arm;
• the second superior arm tab extends laterally toward the first superior arm;
• the second inferior arm tab extends laterally toward the first inferior arm;
• the first superior arm and the first inferior arm are integrally formed with each other;
• the second superior arm and the second inferior arm are integrally formed with each other;
• the first pair of wings comprises a pair of superior wings extending superiorly from a proximal superior surface of the implant;
• and
• the first superior arm tab and the second superior arm tab are configured to engage the pair of superior wings to prevent the first superior arm and the second superior arm from disengaging from the pair of superior wings through translation in a proximal direction.

A system configured to maintain spacing between a superior spinous process and a superior lamina, and an inferior spinous process and an inferior lamina, of adjacent vertebrae of a spine, the system comprising:

• an implant comprising:
• a first superior wing and a second superior wing extending superiorly from a proximal superior surface of the implant such that, in an implanted position, the first superior wing and the second superior wing are configured to engage the superior spinous process therebetween;
• and
• a first inferior wing and a second inferior wing extending inferiorly from a proximal inferior surface of the implant such that, in the implanted position, the first inferior wing and the second inferior wing are configured to engage the inferior spinous process therebetween;
• and a clamp comprising:
• a first superior arm and a second superior arm configured to engage the first superior wing and the second superior wing to prevent disengagement of the first superior wing and the second superior wing from the superior spinous process;
• and
• a first inferior arm and a second inferior arm configured to engage the first inferior wing and the second inferior wing to prevent disengagement of the first inferior wing and the second inferior wing from the inferior spinous process;
• wherein:
• the first superior arm comprises a first superior arm tab extending laterally toward the second superior arm;
• the first inferior arm comprises a first inferior arm tab extending laterally toward the second inferior arm;
• the second superior arm comprises a second superior arm tab extending laterally toward the first superior arm;
• the second inferior arm comprises a second inferior arm tab extending laterally toward the first inferior arm;
• the first superior arm and the first inferior arm are integrally formed with each other;
• and
• the second superior arm and the second inferior arm are integrally formed with each other.
