The present invention relates to an expandable intervertebral implant, particularly to an implant having a pair of endplates, at least one of which being independently expandable and rotatable relative to the other, and related methods
Removal of an intervertebral disc is often desired if the disc degenerates. Spinal fusion may be used to treat such a condition and involves replacing a degenerative disc with a device such as a cage or other spacer that restores the height of the disc space and allows bone growth through the device to fuse the adjacent vertebrae. Spinal fusion attempts to restore normal spinal alignment, stabilize the spinal segment for proper fusion, create an optimal fusion environment, and allows for early active mobilization by minimizing damage to spinal vasculature, dura, and neural elements. When spinal fusion meets these objectives, healing quickens and patient function, comfort and mobility improve. Spacer devices that are impacted into the disc space and allow growth of bone from adjacent vertebral bodies through the upper and lower surfaces of the implant are known in the art. Yet there continues to be a need for devices that minimize procedural invasiveness yet stabilize the spinal segment and create an optimum space for spinal fusion.
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, an intervertebral implant that is configured to iterate between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration includes a first plate and a second plate spaced from one another along a first direction. The first plate defines a first bone-contacting surface and the second plate defines a second bone-contacting surface that faces away from the first bone-contacting surface along the first direction. The implant includes an expansion assembly disposed between the first and second plates with respect to the first direction. The expansion assembly includes a first support wedge that supports the first plate and defines a first ramp and a second support wedge that supports the second plate and defines a second ramp and a third ramp. The expansion assembly includes an expansion wedge that defines a fourth ramp, wherein each of the first, second, third, and fourth ramps is inclined with respect to a second direction that is substantially perpendicular to the first direction. At least one of the first and second support wedges is slidable along the respective supported first or second plate. The implant includes an actuator configured to apply a drive force to the expansion wedge so as to cause 1) the fourth ramp to ride along the third ramp so as to increase a distance between the first and second bone-contacting surfaces along the first direction, and 2) the second ramp to ride along the first ramp, thereby further increasing the distance, thereby iterating the implant from the collapsed configuration to the expanded configuration.
According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, an implant for lateral insertion into an intervertebral space includes an expansion mechanism disposed between a first endplate and a second endplate with respect to a vertical direction. The first endplate defines a first-bone contacting surface and the second endplate defines a second bone-contacting surface that faces away from the first bone-contacting surface along the vertical direction. The expansion mechanism includes an anterior actuation assembly arranged along a first axis and a posterior actuation assembly arranged along a second axis. The first and second axes are each oriented along a longitudinal direction that is substantially perpendicular to the vertical direction. The first and second axes are spaced from one another along a transverse direction that is substantially perpendicular to the vertical and longitudinal directions. A first distance between the first and second bone-contacting surfaces along the vertical direction intersects the first axis, and a second distance between the first and second bone-contacting surfaces along the vertical direction intersects the second axis. The anterior and posterior actuation assemblies each include a first support wedge that supports the first endplate and a second support wedge that supports the second endplate and is slidable with respect to the first support wedge. The actuation assemblies each also include an expansion wedge slidable with respect to the second support wedge, and a drive shaft that is coupled to the expansion wedge and is rotatable about the respective first or second axis so as to cause 1) the expansion wedge to ride along the second support wedge, and 2) the second support wedge to ride along the first support wedge, thereby varying the respective first or second distance. The drive shafts of the anterior and posterior actuation assemblies are rotatable independently of each other so as to provide a difference between the first and second distances.
The foregoing summary, as well as the following detailed description of illustrative embodiments of the intervertebral implant of the present application, will be better understood when read in conjunction with the appended drawings. For the purposes of illustrating the expandable intervertebral implant of the present application, there is shown in the drawings illustrative embodiments. It should be understood, however, that the application is not limited to the precise arrangements and instrumentalities shown. In the drawings:

Once inserted in the intervertebral space 5, the implant 10 can be expanded in a cranial-caudal (i.e., vertical) direction, or otherwise iterated, between the collapsed configuration and a fully expanded configuration to achieve appropriate height restoration. Additionally, one of the sides of the implant 10 can be expanded vertically to a greater extent than the opposite side to achieve lordosis or kyphosis, as disclosed in more detail below.
The intervertebral space 5 can be disposed anywhere along the spine as desired, including at the lumbar, thoracic, and cervical regions of the spine. It is to be appreciated that certain features of the implant 10 can be similar to those set forth in U.S. Patent Publication No. 2014/0243982 A1, published Aug. 28, 2014 in the name of Miller, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by this reference.
Certain terminology is used in the following description for convenience only and is not limiting. The words “right”, “left”, “lower” and “upper” designate directions in the drawings to which reference is made. The words “inner”, “internal”, and “interior” refer to directions towards the geometric center of the implant 10, while the words “outer”, “external”, and “exterior” refer to directions away from the geometric center of the implant. The words, “anterior”, “posterior”, “superior,” “inferior,” “medial,” “lateral,” and related words and/or phrases are used to designate various positions and orientations in the human body to which reference is made. When these words are used in relation to the implant 10 or a component thereof, they are to be understood as referring to the relative positions of the implant 10 as implanted in the body as shown in
The implant 10 is described herein as extending horizontally along a longitudinal direction “L” and a transverse direction “T”, and vertically along a vertical direction “V”. The longitudinal direction L can be at least substantially perpendicular to each of the transverse and vertical directions T, V. The transverse direction T can be at least substantially perpendicular to each of the longitudinal and vertical directions L, V. The vertical direction V can be at least substantially perpendicular to each of the longitudinal and transverse directions L, T. Unless otherwise specified herein, the terms “longitudinal,” “transverse,” and “vertical” are used to describe the orthogonal directional components of various implant components and implant component axes with reference to the orientation in which the implant 10 is configured to be located in the intervertebral space 5; however, such directional terms can be used consistently with reference to the implant regardless of its actual orientation. Additionally, it should be appreciated that while the longitudinal and transverse directions L, V are illustrated as extending along and defining a horizontal plane (also referred to herein as a “longitudinal-transverse plane”), and that the vertical direction is illustrated as extending along a vertical plane (such as either a “vertical-longitudinal plane” or a “vertical-transverse plane,” as respectively referred to herein), the planes that encompass the various directions may differ during use. For instance, when the implant 10 is inserted into the intervertebral space 5, the vertical direction V extends generally along the superior-inferior (or caudal-cranial) direction, the longitudinal direction L extends generally along the medial-lateral direction, and the transverse direction L extends generally along the anterior-posterior direction. Thus, the horizontal plane lies generally in the anatomical plane defined by the anterior-posterior direction and the medial-lateral direction. Accordingly, the directional terms “vertical”, “longitudinal”, “transverse”, and “horizontal” may be used to describe the implant 10 and its components as illustrated merely for the purposes of clarity and illustration, and such terms. With the foregoing in mind, the terms “expand” and “expansion,” when used in reference to the implant 10, refer to expansion along the vertical direction V.
Referring now to
The implant 10 can include a first or inferior plate 20 and a second or superior plate 22 spaced from each other along the vertical direction V. The inferior and superior plates 20, 22 may be referred to as “endplates.” The inferior plate 20 can define first or inferior plate body 24 and the superior plate 22 can define a second or superior plate body 26. The inferior plate body 24 can define a first or inferior bone-contacting surface 28 on an exterior thereof. The superior plate body 26 can define a second or superior bone-contacting surface 30 on an exterior thereof, as shown in
When the implant 10 is in the collapsed configuration, the inferior and superior bone-contacting surfaces 28, 30 can be spaced from one another by a distance D in the range of about 5 mm and about 20 mm along the vertical direction V, by way of non-limiting example, although other sizes are within the scope of the present disclosure. Additionally, when the implant 10 is in the collapsed configuration, the inferior and superior bone-contacting surfaces 28, 30 can be parallel with one another with respect to both the transverse direction T, and thus can have a neutral (i.e., neither lordotic or kyphotic) collapsed profile. As used herein, the terms “lordosis”, “kyphosis”, and their respective derivatives can be used interchangeably, with each term referring to any configuration of the implant 10 wherein the inferior and superior bone-contacting surfaces 28, 30 are angled with respect to each other in the vertical-transverse plane.
It is to be appreciated that the inferior and superior plate bodies 24, 26 can overly one another such that the proximal and distal ends 12, 14 of the implant 10 can be characterized as the proximal and distal ends 12, 14 of each plate 20, 22 or plate body 24, 26. Similarly, the anterior and posterior sides 16, 18 of the implant 10 can also be characterized as the anterior and posterior sides 16, 18 of each plate 20, 22 or plate body 24, 26.
As shown in

The internal face 44 of each plate body 24, 26 can also define an anterior channel 56 and a posterior channel 58 each elongated along the longitudinal direction L. The anterior channel 56 and the posterior channel 58 of each plate 20, 22 can extend into the respective plate body 24, 26 from the internal contact surface 46 thereof toward the respective bone-contacting surface 28, 30 along the vertical direction V. The anterior channels 56 of the plates 12, 18 can be located within the anterior portion 36 of the implant 10, and the posterior channels 58 of the plates 12, 18 can be located within the posterior portion 38 of the implant 10. The anterior channels 56 of the plates 12, 18 can overly one another so as to at least partially define a first or anterior compartment 60 of the implant 10, while the posterior channels 58 of the plates 12, 18 can overly one another so as to at least partially define a second or posterior compartment 62 of the implant 10 (
As shown more clearly in the enlarged view of
Each channel 56, 58 can also include a guide feature, such as a guide slot 70, that is recessed from the base surface 68 toward the bone-contacting surface 28, 30. Each guide slot 70 of the channels 56, 58 can also be referred to as a “plate guide slot” 70. The plate guide slot 70 can have a geometry configured to guide movement of one or more components of the expansion mechanism 48 within the channel 56, 58 along the longitudinal direction L. Optionally, the plate guide slot 70 can also be configured to provide mechanical interference with such components in the vertical direction V toward to the internal contact surface 46 of the associated plate 20, 22. Stated differently, the plate guide slot 70 can optionally have a geometry such that the plate body 24, 26 interlocks with said component of the expansion mechanism 48 in a manner preventing decoupling of the component from the plate guide slot 70 (and, by extension, from the channel 56, 58). Thus, the plate guide slot 70 can also be characterized as a retention feature. For example, the plate guide slot 70 can have a dovetail profile in the vertical-transverse plane, as shown. However, it is to be appreciated that other profiles and geometries of the plate guide slot 70 are within the scope of the present disclosure.
The internal faces 44 of the inferior and superior plate bodies 24, 26 can also define one or more coupling features for coupling the inferior and superior plate bodies 24, 26 together, particularly in the collapsed configuration. The coupling features of the plate bodies 14, 20 can be configured to nest within one another in a manner stabilizing the implant 10 throughout various phases of operation. For example, as shown in

The anterior and posterior actuation assemblies 94, 96 can be driven so as to provide uniform or non-uniform expansion or contraction of the implant 10 along the vertical direction, as desired by a physician. For example, either of the actuation assemblies 94, 96 can be driven independently of the other. When driven independently, the anterior and posterior actuation assemblies 94, 96 can expand the anterior and posterior portions 36, 38 of the implant 10 to different expanded heights along the vertical direction V, providing the implant 10 with a lordotic profile in the intervertebral space 5, as discussed in more detail below. Thus, the implant 10 allows vertical expansion within the intervertebral space and adjustment of the lordotic angle of the implant 10 independently of one another.
The anterior and posterior actuation assemblies 94, 96 can be configured substantially similarly; accordingly, the same reference numbers will be used herein with reference to the corresponding components and features of the actuation assemblies 94, 96. Each actuation assembly 94, 96 can include an actuator, such as a drive shaft 98, as also shown in
With continued reference to
The drive shaft 98 can include an intermediate portion 108 positioned between the proximal and distal threaded portions 104, 106. The threading of the proximal threaded portion 104 can be substantially contiguous with the threading of the distal threaded portion 106 at the intermediate portion 108. Thus, the intermediate portion 108 can define a boundary between the threaded portions 104, 106. In the illustrated embodiment, the intermediate portion 108 can be characterized as an internal end of each of the proximal and distal threaded portions 104, 106, while the proximal end 100 of the drive shaft 98 can define the external end of the proximal threaded portion 104, and the distal end 102 of the drive shaft 98 can define the external end of the distal threaded portion 106. Furthermore, in the illustrated embodiment, the intermediate portions 108 of the anterior and posterior drive shafts 98 can define a center or midpoint of the implant 10 with respect to the longitudinal direction L. Thus, with respect to each threaded portion 104, 106 of the drive shaft 98 (and any component positioned thereon), an external longitudinal direction LE extends from the internal end 108 to the external end 100, 102, and an internal longitudinal direction L1 extends from the external end 100, 102 to the internal end 108.
A head 110 can be located at the distal end 102 of the drive shaft 98 and can be contiguous with the distal threaded portion 106. The head 110 can be monolithic with the drive shaft 98 or can be a separate component, such as a nut that is threadedly coupled to the distal threaded portion 106. The head 110 can define a proximal end 112 and a distal end 114 spaced from the proximal end 112 along the longitudinal direction L. A drive coupling, such as a nut socket 116, can be threadedly coupled to the proximal end 100 of the drive shaft 98 and can be contiguous with the proximal threaded portion 104. The nut socket 116 can define a socket aperture 118 extending from a proximal end 120 of the nut socket 116 toward a distal end 122 thereof. The socket aperture 118 can define a hex socket, as depicted, although other socket configurations can be employed for connection to a driving tool operated by a physician.

Each proximal and distal wedge assembly 124, 126 can include a plurality of expansion members, or wedges 51, 52, 53, 54, that are movable relative to each other so as to increase their collective height along the vertical direction V. For example, the expansion members can include a first wedge 51, a second wedge 52, a third wedge 53, and a fourth wedge 54. One or more of the wedges 51, 52, 53, 54 can engage the respective threaded portion 104, 106 of the drive shaft 98.

The upward apex 140 can be located at the external end 132 of the first wedge body 128. The base surface 142 of the first wedge body 128 can be configured to engage the base surface 68 of the respective anterior or posterior channel 56, 58 of the inferior plate body 24. At least a portion of the base surface 142 of the first wedge body 128 can be substantially planar and can be configured to translate at least partially across the base surface 68 of the respective channel 56, 58, for example, at least during assembly of the implant 10. In other embodiments, once in place within the respective channel 56, 58, the first wedge 51 can be fixed to the inferior plate body 24, such as by welding, brazing, adhesives, or mechanical fasteners. In further embodiments, the first wedge 51 can be monolithic with the inferior plate body 24. As the first wedge 51 can be characterized as “supporting” the inferior plate body 24, the first wedge 51 can be referred to herein as a “support member” or a “support wedge.”
In the illustrated embodiments, the first wedge 51 can also include a first or inferior guide element, such as a guide protrusion 144, that is configured to translate within the plate guide slot 70 of the associated channel 56, 58 during assembly of the implant 10, for example. The guide protrusion 144 can extend from the base surface 142 of the first guide body 128. A bottom surface 146 of the guide protrusion 144 can define a bottom-most portion of the first wedge 51 and of the respective wedge assembly 124, 126. The guide protrusion 144 can have a geometry that is configured to guide movement of the first wedge body 128 within the respective channel 56, 58 along the longitudinal direction L. Additionally, the guide protrusion 144 of the first wedge body 128 and the respective guide slot 70 of the inferior plate body 24 can be cooperatively shaped so that the first wedge body 128 interlocks with the inferior plate body 24 in a manner preventing the first wedge body 128 and the inferior plate body 24 from detaching along the vertical direction V. For example, the guide protrusion 144 and the plate guide slot 70 can have corresponding dovetail profiles in the vertical-transverse plane, as shown, although other geometries are within the scope of the present disclosure. In this manner, the first wedge 51 can be longitudinally movable but substantially vertically immovable within the respective channel 56, 58 of the inferior plate body 24. Thus, the guide protrusion 144 can also be characterized as a retention feature of the first wedge 51. Additionally, the profiles of the guide protrusion 144 and of the plate guide slot 70 can allow the first wedge 51 and the inferior plate body 24 to be rotationally interlocked with one another so that, for example, the first wedge 51 and the inferior plate body 24 can maintain the same angular position about the central shaft axis X1 during expansion and optionally during lordosis. In other embodiments, the rotational interlocking of the first wedge 51 and the inferior plate body 24 can allow rotation of the first wedge 51 about the central shaft axis X1 to cause a substantially similar degree of rotation of the inferior plate body 24 about the central shaft axis X1, and vice versa.
The first wedge body 128 can also include an engagement element configured to engage a portion of one or more other wedges of the respective wedge assembly 124, 126, such as the second wedge 52 and the fourth wedge 54, for example. The engagement element can include a first inclined surface, or ramp 148, extending between the internal end 130 and the upward apex 140 of the first wedge body 128. When positioned within the respective actuation assembly, 94, 96, the first wedge 51 can be oriented so that the first ramp 148 is inclined in the external longitudinal direction LE. In the illustrated embodiment, the first ramp 148 can be oriented at a first incline angle α1 in a range of about 10 degrees and about 60 degrees with respect to the longitudinal direction L (
The first wedge body 128 can also define a second or superior guide feature, such as a guide slot 150, configured to guide relative motion between the first wedge 51 and another wedge of the associated wedge assembly 124, 126, such as the fourth wedge 54, for example. The guide slot 150 can be recessed into the first wedge body 128 from the first ramp 148. The guide slot 150 can extend from a guide slot opening 152 at the internal end 130 of the first wedge body 128 to the external face 138 of the first guide body 128 with respect to the longitudinal direction L. The guide slot 150 can extend parallel with the first ramp 148 and can have a geometry configured to guide movement therein of an associated guide element of the fourth wedge 54. Optionally, the guide slot 150 can also be configured to interlock with the associated guide element in a manner preventing the fourth wedge 54 from detaching from the first wedge 51, at least in a direction orthogonal to the first ramp 148. As shown, the guide slot 150 can have a dovetail profile in the vertical-transverse plane, although other geometries are within the scope of the present disclosure. The guide slot 150 can traverse an entire length of the first ramp 148, as shown, or can optionally traverse less than the entire length. Additionally, the guide slot 150 can separate the first ramp 148 into anterior and posterior portions 154, 156, which can be characterized as “rails.”
The first wedge body 128 can define a channel 158 extending through the body 128 along the longitudinal direction L. The channel 158 can be U-shaped, and portions of the first wedge body 128 located on opposite transverse sides of the channel 158 can be characterized as anterior and posterior arms 160, 162 of the first wedge body 128 (
Referring now to
The first external face 138′ of the first wedge 51′ can abut the proximal side 112 of the head 110, and the second external face 139′ can abut the proximal face 90 of the first transverse protrusion 82 of the superior plate body 26 (
Referring now to
The upper base surface 180 can be configured to engage the base surface 68 of the respective anterior or posterior channel 56, 58 of the superior plate body 26. Accordingly, the second wedge 52 can be characterized as “supporting” the superior plate body 26 and can be referred to herein as a “support member” or “support wedge.” At least a portion of the upper base surface 180 can be substantially planar and can be configured to translate at least partially across the base surface 68 of the respective channel 56, 58 during expansion of the implant 10. Thus, the second wedge 52 can also be referred to as a “slider.”
The second wedge body 168 can define a third or superior guide element, such as a guide protrusion 184, extending from the upper base surface 180 along the vertical direction V. A top surface 186 of the guide protrusion 184 can define a top-most portion of the second wedge 52. The top surface 186 can also define a top-most portion of the respective wedge assembly 124, 126. The guide protrusion 184 can be configured to translate within the guide slot 70 of the associated channel 56, 58 of the superior plate body 26. The guide protrusion 184 of the second wedge body 168 can have a design and function generally similar to those of the guide protrusion 144 of the first wedge body 128 set forth above. By way of non-limiting example, the guide protrusion 184 of the second wedge body 168 and the guide slot 70 of the associated channel 56, 58 of the superior plate body 26 can have corresponding dovetail profiles that interlock the second wedge 52 to the superior plate body 26. In this manner, guide protrusion 184 (which can also be characterized as a “retention” feature) can be longitudinally movable but substantially vertically immovable within the respective channel 56, 58 of the superior plate body 26. Additionally, the profiles of the guide protrusion 184 and of the plate guide slot 70 can allow the second wedge 52 and the superior plate body 26 to be rotationally interlocked with one another so that, for example, rotation of the second wedge 52 about the central shaft axis X1 of the drive shaft 98 causes a substantially similar degree of rotation of the superior plate body 26 about the central shaft axis X1, and vice versa.
The second wedge 52 can include one or more engagement elements configured to engage portions of one or more of the other wedges of the associated wedge assembly 124, 126. By way of non-limiting example, the second wedge body 168 can define a second inclined surface, or ramp 188, extending from the external face 178 to the downward apex 182, and a third inclined surface, or ramp 190, extending from the downward apex 182 to the internal end 170 of the second wedge body 168. The internal end 170 of the second wedge body 168 can define a shared edge between the upper base surface 180 and the third ramp 190. The second wedge 52 can be oriented in each actuation assembly 94, 96 so that the second ramp 188 is inclined in the external longitudinal direction LE and the third ramp 190 is declined in the external longitudinal direction LE (and thus inclined in the internal longitudinal direction LI). The second ramp 188 can be configured to engage the first ramp 148 of the first wedge body 128 during expansion of the implant 10. The third ramp 190 can be configured to engage a portion of another wedge of the respective wedge assembly 124, 126, such as the third wedge 53, for example.
The second ramp 188 can optionally be substantially parallel with the first ramp 148 of the first wedge body 128. The second ramp 188 can be oriented at a second incline angle α2 in a range of about 10 degrees and about 60 degrees with respect to the longitudinal direction L (
The third ramp 190 can be oriented at a third incline angle α3 in the range of about 10 degrees and about 60 degrees with respect to the longitudinal direction L. In other embodiments, the third incline angle α3 can be in the range of about 20 degrees and about 40 degrees with respect to the longitudinal direction L. In further embodiments, the third incline angle α3 can be in the range of about 25 degrees and about 35 degrees with respect to the longitudinal direction L. In additional embodiments, the third incline angle α3 can be less than 10 degrees or greater than 60 degrees with respect to the longitudinal direction L.
The second wedge 52 can include a fourth guide feature, such as a guide slot 192, configured to guide relative motion between the second wedge 52 and another wedge of the associated wedge assembly 124, 126, such as the third wedge 53, for example. The guide slot 192 can be recessed into the second wedge body 168 from the third ramp 190 and can separate the third ramp 190 into anterior and posterior portions 194, 196, which can be characterized as “rails.” The guide slot 192 can extend parallel with the third ramp 190 and can have a geometry configured to guide movement of, and optionally interlock with, an associated guide element of the third wedge 53. As shown, the guide slot 192 can have a dovetail profile, and can be configured similarly to the guide slot 150 of the first wedge body 128, as set forth above, although other geometries are within the scope of the present disclosure. The guide slot 192 can extend from a guide slot opening 198 at the upper base surface 180 to a stop feature 200 configured to prevent the guide element of the third wedge 53 from moving beyond the stop feature 200 along the external longitudinal direction LE. The stop feature 200 can be spaced from the downward apex 182 in the internal longitudinal direction LI. Thus, the guide slot 192 can extend less than an entire length of the third ramp 190.
The second wedge body 168 can define a channel 202 extending therethrough along the longitudinal direction L. The channel 202 of the second wedge body 168 can be configured similarly to the channel 158 of the first wedge body 128 set forth above. Thus, the second wedge body 168 can have a U-shaped profile in a vertical-transverse plane and can include anterior and posterior arms 204, 206 on opposite transverse sides of the channel 202. Additionally, the channel 202 can separate the second ramp 188 into anterior and posterior portions 208, 210, which can be characterized as “rails.” The channel 202 can also intersect the guide slot 192 in a manner effectively converting a portion of the guide slot 192 into anterior and posterior slots 212, 214 defined in the anterior and posterior arms 204, 206, respectively.
Referring now to
The third wedge 53 can include one or more engagement elements configured to engage portions of one or more of the other wedges of the associated wedge assembly 124, 126, such as the second and fourth wedges 52, 54. For example, the internal face 226 of the third wedge 53 can be configured to engage (such as by abutting) a portion of the fourth wedge 54. Additionally, the third wedge body 216 can define a fourth inclined surface, or ramp 234, located at an upper side of the body 216. The fourth ramp 234 can extend between the internal and external faces 226, 228 along the longitudinal direction L. The fourth ramp 234 can be declined in the external longitudinal direction LE (and thus inclined in the internal longitudinal direction LI).
The fourth ramp 234 can be configured to engage the third ramp 188 of the second wedge body 168, including during expansion of the implant 10. The fourth ramp 234 can optionally be substantially parallel with the third ramp 190 of the second wedge body 168. The fourth ramp 234 can be oriented at a fourth incline angle α4 in a range of about 10 degrees and about 60 degrees with respect to the longitudinal direction L (
The third wedge 53 can include a fifth guide element, such as a guide protrusion 236, configured to guide motion between the third wedge 53 and the second wedge 52. For example, the guide protrusion 236 of the third wedge 53 can extend vertically from the fourth ramp 234 and can be configured to translate within the guide slot 192 of the second wedge 52. The guide protrusion 236 can be cooperatively shaped with the guide slot 192 in a manner preventing the guide protrusion 236 from exiting the guide slot 192, at least in a direction orthogonal to the third ramp 190. For example, the guide protrusion 236 and the guide slot 192 can have corresponding dovetail profiles in a vertical-transverse plane, as shown. In such an embodiment, the guide protrusion 236 can only enter and exit the guide slot 192 through the guide slot opening 198. Additionally, the profiles of the guide slot 192 and the guide protrusion 236 can allow the second and third wedges 52, 53 to be rotationally interlocked with one another so that, for example, rotation of the third wedge 53 about the central bore axis X2 causes a substantially similar degree of rotation of the second wedge 52 about the central bore axis X2.
The third wedge 53 can have a geometry configured to avoid contact with the first wedge 51 during relative movement between the first and third wedges 51, 53. For example, the third wedge body 216 can have a rounded underside 238 configured so as not to contact or otherwise directly engage or interfere with the first ramp 148 or the anterior and posterior arms 160, 162 of the first wedge body 128 during translational and rotational movement of the third wedge body 216 over the first wedge body 128. Additionally, the underside 238 can define a fifth inclined surface, or ramp 240, that is oriented at a fifth incline angle as that is substantially parallel with the first incline angle α1 of the first ramp 148. The fifth ramp 240 can be configured so as not to contact the first ramp 148. For example, the fifth ramp 240 can include a pair of planar portions 242 positioned on opposite transverse sides of a rounded portion 244. The rounded portion 244 can be configured to extend within the guide slot 150 of the first wedge body 128 without contacting the first ramp 148 or any other portion of the first wedge body 128 during translational and rotational movement of the third wedge body 216 over the first wedge body 128. Additionally, the planar portions 242 of the fifth ramp 240 can be remote from the first ramp 148 or any other portion of the first wedge body 128 during movement of the third wedge body 216 over the first wedge body 128.

The fourth wedge body 246 can define a central bore 264 extending along a central bore axis X3. The central bore 264 can be a through bore and can extend along the longitudinal direction L. The central bore axis X3 of the fourth wedge body 246 can be coextensive with the central shaft axis X1 of the drive shaft 98 and with the central bore axis X2 of the third wedge body 216. The central bore 264 of the fourth wedge body 246 can define threading 266 that is configured to engage the same one of the proximal and distal threaded portions 104, 106 as the threading 232 of the third wedge body 216. In the illustrated embodiments, rotation of the drive shaft 98 can threadedly translate the third and fourth wedges 53, 54 together along the longitudinal direction L at the same rate. However, in other embodiments, the third and fourth wedges 53, 54 of each wedge assembly 124, 126 can move at different rates and/or in opposite directions along the drive shaft 98.
The fourth wedge 54 can include one or more engagement elements configured to engage portions of at least one of the other wedges of the associated wedge assembly 124, 126, such as the third wedge 53. For example, the external face 258 of the fourth wedge body 246 can be characterized as an engagement element because it can be configured to abut the internal face 226 of the third wedge body 216. The external face 258 of the fourth wedge body 54 can optionally be configured to abut the internal face 226 of the third wedge body 216 in a manner ensuring that the third and fourth wedge bodies 216, 158 translate along the respective threaded portion 104, 106 of the drive shaft 98 at the same rate. In this manner, the fourth wedge 54 can be characterized as a “pusher” or a “pusher member” that effectively pushes the third wedge 53 in the external longitudinal direction LE. Additionally, it is to be appreciated that the third and fourth wedges 53, 54 can collectively be referred to as an “expansion wedge”, with the third wedge 53 being referred to as a “first member” or “first portion” of the expansion wedge, and the fourth wedge 54 being referred to as a “second member” or “second portion” of the expansion wedge. Additionally, each of the third and fourth wedges 53, 54 can be referred to individually as an “expansion wedge.”
The fourth wedge body 246 can also define a sixth inclined surface, or ramp 268, adjacent the bottom surface 262 of the body 246. The sixth ramp 268 can extend between the bottom surface 262 and the external face 256 of the fourth wedge body 246 with respect to the longitudinal direction L. The sixth ramp 268 can be inclined in the external longitudinal direction LE (and thus declined in the internal longitudinal direction LI). The sixth ramp 268 can be configured to engage the first ramp 148 of the first wedge body 128 during expansion of the implant 10. The sixth ramp 268 can optionally be substantially parallel with the first ramp 148. The sixth ramp 268 can be oriented at a sixth incline angle α6 in a range of about 10 degrees and about 60 degrees with respect to the longitudinal direction L (
The fourth wedge 54 can include a sixth guide element, such as a guide protrusion 270, configured to guide motion between the fourth wedge 54 and each of the inferior plate 12 and the first wedge 51. The guide protrusion 270 can extend from each of the bottom surface 262 and the sixth ramp 268. The guide protrusion 270 can be configured such that, in one phase of expansion of the implant 10, the protrusion 270 can translate within the guide slot 70 of the respective channel 68 of the inferior plate body 24 and, during another phase of expansion, the protrusion 270 can translate within the guide slot 150 of the first wedge 51.
The guide protrusion 270 of the fourth wedge body 246 can include one or more portions configured to selectively engage guide features of the inferior plate body 24 and guide features of the first wedge 51. For example, in the non-limiting example shown in
As shown in
It is to be appreciated that the dovetail profile of the guide protrusion 270, particularly at the edge 280 between the second and third portions 272, 273, can substantially match the dovetail profiles of the guide slots 70 of each channel 62, 64 as well as the guide slot 102 of the first wedge 51. The second portion 272 of the guide protrusion 270 can be configured to allow the guide protrusion 270 to transfer from the guide slot 70 of the inferior plate body 24 to the guide slot 150 of the first wedge 51 between the first and second phases. The third portion 273 of the guide protrusion 270 can be configured to allow the guide protrusion 270 to transfer from the guide slot 150 of the first wedge 51 to the guide slot 70 of the inferior plate body 24 during an optional reverse expansion process (i.e., during a collapsing or “contracting” process) of the implant 10, as set forth in more detail below.
The third portion 273 of the guide protrusion 270, particularly at the edge 280 between the second and third portions 272, 273, can be cooperatively shaped with the guide slot 150 of the first wedge 51 in a manner preventing the guide protrusion 270 from exiting the guide slot 150, at least in a direction orthogonal to the first ramp 148 and optionally in any direction except a direction parallel with the first ramp 148. In the illustrated embodiment, the guide protrusion 270 can enter and exit the guide slot 150 only at the internal end 130 (through the guide slot opening 198) or optionally at the external end 132 of the first wedge body 128.
Additionally, the second portion 272 of the guide protrusion 270, particularly at the edge 280 between the second and third portions 272, 273, can be cooperatively shaped with the guide slot 70 of the respective channel 62, 64 of the inferior plate body 24 in a manner preventing the guide protrusion 270 from exiting the guide slot 70, at least in a direction orthogonal to the channel base surface 68 and optionally in any direction except the longitudinal direction L or a direction parallel with the first ramp 148. Additionally, the profiles of the guide protrusion 270 and of the plate guide slot 70 can allow the inferior plate body 24 to be rotationally interlocked with the fourth wedge 54 when the guide protrusion 270 is within the plate guide slot 70 (
It is to be appreciated that, in the illustrated embodiment, the second, third and fourth wedges 52, 53, 54 of the proximal wedge assembly 124 can be substantially similar, or even virtually identical, to their respective counterparts in the distal wedge assembly 126. However, in other embodiments, one or more of the second, third and fourth wedges 52, 53, 54 of the proximal wedge assembly 124 can be configured differently than their respective counterparts in the distal wedge assembly 126.

With reference to the proximal wedge assembly 124 in the collapsed configuration, the external face 138 of the first wedge 51 can abut or be adjacent to the distal end 122 of the nut socket 116. The bottom base surface 142 of the first wedge 51 can abut the base surface 68 of the posterior channel 58 of the inferior plate body 24 and the guide protrusion 144 of the first wedge 51 can be received within the guide slot 70 of the posterior channel 58 of the inferior plate body 24. The proximal threaded portion 104 of the drive shaft 98 can extend through the U-shaped channel 158 of the first wedge 51.
The second wedge 52 can be positioned such that the second ramp 188 abuts the first ramp 148 at a location adjacent the internal end 130 of the first wedge 51. The upper base surface 180 of the second wedge 52 can abut the base surface 68 of the posterior channel 58 of the superior plate body 26 and the guide protrusion 184 of the second wedge 52 can be received within the guide slot 70 of the posterior channel 58 of the superior plate body 26. The proximal threaded portion 104 of the drive shaft 98 can extend through the U-shaped channel 202 of the second wedge 52.
The third wedge 53 can be positioned such that the fourth ramp 234 thereof abuts the third ramp 190 of the second wedge 52 at a location adjacent the internal end 170 thereof. The guide protrusion 236 of the third wedge 53 can be received within the guide slot 192 of the second wedge 52. The drive shaft 98 can extend through the central bore 230 of the third wedge 53, with the threading 232 thereof engaged with the proximal threaded portion 104 of the drive shaft 98.
The fourth wedge 54 can be positioned such that the external face 258 thereof abuts or is adjacent to the internal face 226 of the third wedge 53. The internal face 256 of the fourth wedge 54 can be positioned at or adjacent the intermediate portion 108 of the drive shaft 98 (i.e., the internal end of the proximal threaded portion 104). The bottom surface 262 of the fourth wedge 54 can abut the base surface 68 of the posterior channel 58 of the inferior plate body 24 and the guide protrusion 270 of the fourth wedge 54 can be received within the guide slot 70 of the posterior channel 58 of the inferior plate body 24. The drive shaft 98 can extend through the central bore 264 of the fourth wedge 53, with the threading 266 thereof engaged with the proximal threaded portion 104 of the drive shaft 98.
It is to be appreciated that, as set forth above, the distal wedge assembly 126 can effectively be a substantial mirror image of the proximal wedge assembly 124 about a vertical-transverse plane positioned at the intermediate portion 108 of the drive shaft 98. Thus, the relative positions of the wedges 51′, 52, 53, 54 of the distal wedge assembly 126 and the distal threaded portion 106 of the drive shaft 98 can be substantially similar to that of the proximal wedge assembly 124 and the proximal threaded portion 104 of the drive shaft. With regards to the variant of the first wedge 51′, the first external face 138′ thereof can abut or be adjacent the proximal end 112 of the head 110 (
Expansion of the implant 10 between the collapsed configuration and a first partially expanded configuration, as shown in
During a first phase of expansion, the drive shaft 98 can be rotated about its central shaft axis X1 in a first rotational direction (such as clockwise, for example) so that the proximal threaded portion 104 provides a first or proximal drive force F1 in the external longitudinal direction LE thereof (i.e., the proximal direction) and the distal threaded portion 106 provides a second or distal drive force F2 in the external longitudinal direction LE thereof (i.e., the distal direction). The threading 232, 178 of the central bores 146, 176 of the third and fourth wedges 53, 54, respectively, can engage the associated threaded portion 104, 106 of the drive shaft 98 in a manner transmitting the respective drive force F1, F2 to the third and fourth wedges 53, 54 causing the third and fourth wedges 53, 54 to translate in the external longitudinal direction LE.

As the fourth ramp 234 rides along the third ramp 190 and as the second ramp 188 rides along the first ramp 148, the sixth ramp 268 of the fourth wedge 54 can approach the first ramp 148 of the first wedge 51. In the present example, the first phase of expansion can be complete when the sixth ramp 268 abuts the first ramp 148, at which point the protrusion 270 of the fourth wedge 54 can enter the opening 152 of the guide slot 150 of the first wedge 51 (
At the conclusion of the first phase and commencement of the second phase of expansion, the external end 172 of the second wedge 52, as well as the entire second ramp 188, can be positioned intermediate the internal and external ends 130, 132 of the first wedge 51 with respect to the longitudinal direction L. Moreover, the entire fourth ramp 234 can be positioned intermediate the downward apex 182 and the internal end 170 of the second wedge 52, while the protrusion 236 of the third wedge 53 can be positioned intermediate the stop feature 200 and the opening 198 of the guide slot 192 of the second wedge 52, each with respect to the longitudinal direction L. It is to be appreciated that, while views of the internal end 90 of the first wedge 51 and the downward apex 182 and stop feature 200 of the second wedge 52 are each obstructed in

As the fourth wedge 54 translates at the commencement of the second phase of expansion, the protrusion 270 can transition from the guide slot 70 of the channel 56, 58 of the inferior plate body 24 to the guide slot 150 of the first wedge 51. In particular, the geometry of the first, second, third and fourth portions 271, 272, 273, 274 of the protrusion 270 can engage the guide slot 150 of the first wedge 51 so that the protrusion 270 is caused to exit the plate guide slot 70 and to be received entirely within the guide slot 150 of the first wedge 51. Additionally, the fifth ramp 240 of the third wedge 53 can extend within the guide slot 150 of the first wedge 51 without contacting the first wedge body 128.
During at least a portion of the second phase of expansion, the sixth ramp 268 can ride along the first ramp 148 while the fourth ramp 234 rides along the third ramp 190, resulting in relative motion between the second wedge 52 and each of the third and fourth wedges 53, 54 along the longitudinal and vertical direction L, V. Such relative motion between the second wedge 52 and the third and fourth wedges 53, 54 during the second phase can cause the second ramp 188 to separate from, or otherwise become remote from, the first ramp 148 with respect to the vertical direction V. Additionally, such relative motion between the second wedge 52 and the third and fourth wedges 53, 54 can be initiated by a reactionary force imparted to at least one of the second, third, and fourth wedges 52, 53, 54. For example, the reactionary force can occur when a component of the implant 10, such as a stop feature in the channel 56, 58, the guide slot 70, or other portion of the plate body 24, 26, impedes motion of the second wedge 52 in the external longitudinal direction LE. In another non-limiting example, the second and sixth ramps 124, 180 can ride along the first ramp 148 at or near the same rate until, in the proximal wedge assembly 124, the external face 178 of the second wedge 52 abuts the distal end 122 of the nut socket 116 while, in the distal wedge assembly 126, the external face 178 of second wedge 52 abuts the proximal face 90 of the first transverse protrusion 82. In each of the proximal and distal wedge assemblies 124, 126, the foregoing abutments can impede further movement of the second wedge 52 along the external longitudinal direction LE while the fourth ramp 234 continues to ride along the third ramp 190 and the sixth ramp 268 continues to ride along the first ramp 148, thus driving the second wedge 52 upward with respect to the first wedge 51.
In another non-liming example, the reactionary force can occur at the commencement of the second phase of expansion, causing the fourth ramp 234 to ride along the third ramp 190 as soon as the sixth ramp 268 rides along the first ramp 148. In such an example, in each of the proximal and distal wedge assemblies 124, 126, the fourth ramp 234 can ride along the third ramp 190 until the guide protrusion 236 of the third wedge 53 abuts the stop feature 200 of the guide slot 192 of the second wedge 52, after which the sixth ramp 268 can continue to ride along the first ramp 148 without any relative motion between the second wedge 52 and the third and fourth wedges 53, 54 along the longitudinal and vertical directions L, V. Thus, in each of the two preceding non-limiting examples, the second phase of expansion can include at least one portion or sub-phase that involves relative motion between the second wedge 52 and each of the third and fourth wedges 53, 54 with respect to the longitudinal and vertical directions L, V, and at least one other portion or sub-phase during which the second, third, and fourth wedges 52, 53, 54 are driven together along the longitudinal and vertical directions L, V without any relative motion therebetween.
In yet another non-limiting example, relative motion can occur between the second wedge 52 and each of the third and fourth wedges 53, 54 along the longitudinal and vertical directions L, V during substantially the entire second phase of expansion. In this example, in each of the proximal and distal wedge assemblies 124, 126, the reactionary force can occur at the commencement of the second phase of expansion, causing the fourth ramp 234 to ride along third ramp 190 and the guide protrusion 236 of the third wedge 53 to concurrently ride within the guide slot 192 as soon as the sixth ramp 268 rides along the first ramp 148. Furthermore, in this example, the guide protrusion 236 of the third wedge 53 can abut the stop feature 200 of the second wedge 52 substantially at the same time as the external face 178 of the second wedge 52 abuts the distal end 122 of the nut socket 116.
At the conclusion of the second phase of expansion, in the proximal wedge assembly 124, the external end 172 of the second wedge 52 can be substantially aligned with the external end 132 of the first wedge 51 along the vertical direction V, and, in the distal wedge assembly, the external end 172 of the second wedge 52 can be substantially aligned with the second external face 139′ of the first wedge 51′. Additionally, in each wedge assembly 124, 126, the third and fourth wedges 53, 54 can each be entirely intermediate the internal and external ends 130, 132 of the first wedge 51 as well as the external and internal ends 170, 172 of the second wedge 52. Similarly, at the conclusion of the second phase of expansion, the downward apex 182 of the second wedge 52 can be spaced upward of the upward apex 140 of the first wedge 51.
Throughout expansion of the implant 10, the respective first wedges 51, 51′ of the proximal and distal wedge assemblies 124, 126 can remain adjacent the external ends of the proximal and distal threaded portions 104, 106 of the drive shaft 98. Additionally, the second, third and fourth wedges 52, 53, 54 of each wedge assembly 124, 126 can move in the external longitudinal direction LE during expansion. Thus, the points of contact between the wedge assemblies 124, 126 and the superior and inferior plates 12, 28 are either initially located adjacent the proximal and distal ends 12, 14 of the implant 10 (as in the case of the first wedges 51, 51′ coupled to the inferior plate 20) or move toward the proximal and distal ends 12, 14 of the implant 10 during expansion (as in the case of the second wedges 52 coupled to the superior plate 22). Such an arrangement provides enhanced support and stability to the implant 10 during expansion, particularly with respect to reactive forces, such as inner body forces, imparted to the implant 10 along the vertical direction V within the intervertebral space 5. However, it is to be appreciated that, in other embodiments (not shown), the respective first wedges 51, 51′ of the proximal and distal wedge assemblies 124, 126 can be located adjacent the internal ends of the threaded portions 104, 106 of the drive shaft 98, and the second, third and fourth wedges 52, 53, 54 of each wedge assembly 124, 126 can move in the internal longitudinal direction LI during expansion.

At the distal portion 40′ of the inferior plate body 24′, the internal face 44′ can define a single transverse slot 73′ elongated along the transverse direction T. The distal portion 40′ of the superior plate body 26′ can define a single transverse protrusion 83′ protruding beyond the internal contact surface 46′ of the superior plate body 26′. When the implant 10′ is in the collapsed configuration, the transverse protrusion 83′ of the superior plate body 26′ can nest within the transverse slot 73′ of the inferior plate body 24′. The transverse protrusion 83′ can define a pair of opposed recesses 85′ extending into the protrusion 83′ along the transverse direction T. The recesses 85′ can be configured to receive therein portions of the heads 110′ of the drive shafts 98′ of the anterior and posterior actuation assemblies 94′, 96′, at least when the implant 10′ is in the collapsed configuration.

The fourth wedge body 246′ can define a front basket 253′ extending from the external face 258′ along the external longitudinal direction LE. The front basket 253′ can provide the bottom base surface 262 of the fourth wedge body 246′ with increased length and thus increased stability as the bottom base surface 262 abuts and/or translates along the channel base surface 68. The external face 258′ of the fourth wedge body 246′ can be a first external face thereof, and the front basket 253′ can define a second external face 255′ that is spaced from the first external face 256′ along the external longitudinal direction LE. The second external face 255′ can be positioned at the external end 250′ of the fourth wedge body 246′. The bottom surface 262′ of the fourth wedge body 246′ can extend from the internal face 256′ to the sixth ramp 268′ along the longitudinal direction L and can extend along a portion of the basket 253′. The sixth ramp 268′ can extend from the bottom surface 262′ to the second external face 255′ of the fourth wedge body 246′. The guide protrusion 270′ of the fourth wedge body 246′ of the second embodiment can be configured similarly to the guide protrusion 270′ of the first embodiment.
The basket 253′ can define a central recess 257′ extending along the longitudinal direction L. The central recess 257′ can be characterized as an extension of the central bore 264′ of the fourth wedge body 246′ along the basket 253′. The central recess 257′ can separate an upper portion of the basket 253′ into a pair of arms 259′, 261′ that each extend generally along the longitudinal direction L and each have an upper surface 263′ that is canted towards the central bore axis X3 of the fourth wedge 54′. The basket 253′ can also define a trough 265′ configured to receive the rounded portion 244′ of the third wedge body 216′. The trough 265′ can have a rounded profile that corresponds to the profile of the rounded portion 244′ of the third wedge body 216′ and can allow the rounded portion 244′ of the third wedge body 216′ to rotate within the trough 265 about the central bore axis X3 of the third wedge body 216′. The central recess 257′ can also define a portion of the threading 266′ of the central bore 264′ of the fourth wedge body 246′. The fourth wedge body 216′ can define a vertical aperture 267′ extending through the basket 253′ at the external end 250′ thereof. The vertical apertures 233′, 267′ of the third and fourth wedge bodies 216′, 246′ can be aligned with one another along the vertical direction V.

In the first drive mode A, the tool 300 can be set to operate only the first driver 304. In the second drive mode B, the tool 300 can be set to operate the first and second drivers 304, 306 simultaneously. In the third mode C, the tool 300 can be set to operate only the second driver 306.
A second selector switch 314 can be in communication with the first driver 304. For example, the second selector switch 314 can toggle between a first position E, wherein the tool 300 is set to rotate the first driver 304 in the clockwise direction, and a second position F, wherein the tool 300 is set to rotate the first driver 304 in the counterclockwise direction. Similarly, a third selector switch 316 can be in communication with the second driver 306. For example, the third selector switch 316 can toggle between a first position G, wherein the tool 300 is set to rotate the second driver 306 in the clockwise direction, and a second position H, wherein the tool 300 is set to rotate the second driver 306 in the counterclockwise direction.
A fourth selector switch 318 can allow the physician to select a torque and/or speed setting of the first driver 304. A fifth selector switch 320 can allow the physician to select a torque and/or speed setting of the second driver 306. Accordingly, the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth selector switches 312, 314, 316, 318, 320 allow the physician to use the tool 300 to operate the anterior and posterior actuation assemblies 94, 96 uniformly or independently as desired. Additionally, the selector switches can also allow the physician to tailor the rotational direction, speed and/or torque of each of the actuation assemblies 94, 96 independently.
