MULTIPLANAR BONE ANCHOR SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240023997 titled 'MULTIPLANAR BONE ANCHOR SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The present teachings describe a surgical implement for repairing damaged tissue, specifically in spinal fixation procedures. The implement includes a bone anchor with a bone fastener that has a head and a second end to engage an anatomy. The bone fastener extends along a longitudinal axis and can rotate about this axis to define a first plane of motion. The anchor also includes a coupling arrangement connected to the head of the bone fastener, allowing for movement of a saddle relative to the bone fastener and coupling arrangement to define a second plane of motion.

  • The patent application describes a surgical implement for repairing damaged tissue, particularly in spinal fixation procedures.
  • The implement includes a bone anchor with a bone fastener that can engage an anatomy.
  • The bone fastener has a head and a second end and extends along a longitudinal axis.
  • The anchor also includes a coupling arrangement connected to the head of the bone fastener.
  • The bone fastener is rotatable about the longitudinal axis, defining a first plane of motion.
  • The coupling arrangement allows for movement of a saddle relative to the bone fastener and coupling arrangement, defining a second plane of motion.

Potential Applications:

  • Spinal fixation procedures
  • Orthopedic surgeries involving damaged tissue repair

Problems Solved:

  • Repairing damaged tissue in spinal fixation procedures
  • Providing stability and support to damaged tissue during surgical procedures

Benefits:

  • Improved surgical implement for repairing damaged tissue
  • Enhanced stability and support during spinal fixation procedures
  • Increased range of motion and flexibility in surgical procedures


Original Abstract Submitted

the present teachings provide one or more surgical implements for repairing damaged tissue, such as in the case of a spinal fixation procedure. a bone anchor is provided. the anchor can include a bone fastener. the bone fastener can include a head and a second end adapted to engage an anatomy. the bone fastener can extend along a longitudinal axis. the anchor can also include a coupling arrangement coupled to the head of the bone fastener so that the bone fastener is rotatable about the longitudinal axis to define a first plane of motion. the anchor can further include a saddle, which can be coupled to the coupling arrangement. the saddle can be movable relative to at least one of the bone fastener and the coupling arrangement to define a second plane of motion.
