Abstract
Systems, devices and methods for vertebral fusion and SI joint stabilization.
Claims32
A method of fusing vertebrae and stabilizing sacro-iliac joints of a subject, comprising:
- implanting at least a portion of a fusion cage between an S1 vertebra and an L5 vertebra;
- implanting a first SI joint stabilizing member such that,
- a cage end region of the first SI joint stabilizing member interfaces with a first portion of the fusion cage,
- the first SI joint stabilizing member extends at least laterally from the first portion of the fusion cage,
- an ilium end of the first SI joint stabilizing member is implanted in a first ilium posterior, and
- an intermediate region of the first SI joint stabilizing member that is between the ilium end and the cage end region is implanted across a first SI joint
3 more elements
A system for fusing vertebrae and stabilizing sacro-iliac joints of a subject, comprising:
- a fusion cage sized and configured to be at least partially implanted between an S1 vertebra and an L5 vertebra;
- and
- a first SI joint stabilizing member, wherein
- the fusion cage comprising,
- a first SI joint stabilizing member interface in a first portion of the fusion cage,
- the first SI joint stabilizing member interface having at least one surface sized and configured to stably interface with a cage end region of the first SI joint stabilizing member when the first SI joint stabilizing member extends at least laterally from the first portion of the fusion cage such that an ilium end of the first SI joint stabilizing member is implanted in a first ilium of the patient.
3 more elements
A fusion cage that is adapted for SI joint stabilization, comprising:
- a body sized and configured to be at least partially implanted between an SI vertebra and an L5 vertebra, the body including,
- a first SI joint stabilizing member interface in a first portion of the fusion cage, and
- the first SI joint stabilizing member interface having at least one surface sized and configured to stably interface with a cage end region of a first SI joint stabilizing member when the first SI joint stabilizing member extends at least laterally from the first portion of the fusion cage such that an ilium end of the first SI joint stabilizing member is implanted in a first ilium of the patient.
