CA 2581990

The present invention includes pin guides (110, 1410) and methods for placing pins in adjacent vertebrae. The present invention also includes methods for placing pins in adjacent vertebrae using the pin guides described herein. The present invention also includes an intervertebral implant insertion and alignment instrument (2200), a distraction instrument (2210), an intervertebral implant insertion guide (2900), and methods for inserting an implant into an intervertebral space. Despite existing tools and techniques, present positioning of implants in intervertebral spaces and pins in adjacent vertebrae often depend on a surgeon's skill, experience and technique. Practice of the present invention can aide in the placement of an implant into an intervertebral space and placement of pins in adjacent vertebrae, e.g., midline to the coronal plane spine and/or parallel to vertebral endplates that abut the intervertebral space.

L'invention concerne des guides de broche et des procédés destinés à placer des broches dans des vertèbres adjacentes. Cette invention concerne également des procédés destinés à placer des broches dans des vertèbres adjacentes au moyen de guides de broche décrits dans cette invention. Elle concerne également l'insertion d'implants intervertébraux et un instrument d'alignement, un instrument de distraction, un guide d'insertion d'implant intervertébral, et des procédés d'insertion d'implant dans un espace intervertébral. En dépit des techniques et des outils existants, le présent positionnement d'implants dans des espaces intervertébraux et dans des broches situées dans des vertèbres adjacentes dépendent souvent des connaissances, de l'expérience et de la technique du chirurgien. La pratique de cette invention peut faciliter le placement d'un implant dans un espace intervertébral et le placement de broches dans des vertèbres adjacentes, notamment, à mi-chemin entre l'épine de plan coronaire et/ou parallèlement aux plateaux vertébraux qui butent contre l'espace intervertébral.
