The present invention relates to an expandable intervertebral implant, system, kit and method.
The human spine is comprised of a series of vertebral bodies separated by intervertebral discs. The natural intervertebral disc contains a jelly-like nucleus pulposus surrounded by a fibrous annulus fibrosus. Under an axial load, the nucleus pulposus compresses and radially transfers that load to the annulus fibrosus. The laminated nature of the annulus fibrosus provides it with a high tensile strength and so allows it to expand radially in response to this transferred load.
In a healthy intervertebral disc, cells within the nucleus pulposus produce an extracellular matrix (ECM) containing a high percentage of proteoglycans. These proteoglycans contain sulfated functional groups that retain water, thereby providing the nucleus pulposus within its cushioning qualities. These nucleus pulposus cells may also secrete small amounts of cytokines such as interleukin-1.beta. and TNF-.alpha. as well as matrix metalloproteinases (“MMPs”). These cytokines and MMPs help regulate the metabolism of the nucleus pulposus cells.
In some instances of degenerative disc disease (DDD), gradual degeneration of the intervertebral disc is caused by mechanical instabilities in other portions of the spine. In these instances, increased loads and pressures on the nucleus pulposus cause the cells within the disc (or invading macrophages) to emit larger than normal amounts of the above-mentioned cytokines. In other instances of DDD, genetic factors or apoptosis can also cause the cells within the nucleus pulposus to emit toxic amounts of these cytokines and MMPs. In some instances, the pumping action of the disc may malfunction (due to, for example, a decrease in the proteoglycan concentration within the nucleus pulposus), thereby retarding the flow of nutrients into the disc as well as the flow of waste products out of the disc. This reduced capacity to eliminate waste may result in the accumulation of high levels of proinflammatory cytokines and/or MMPs that may cause nerve irritation and pain.
As DDD progresses, toxic levels of the cytokines and MMPs present in the nucleus pulposus begin to degrade the extracellular matrix. In particular, the MMPs (as mediated by the cytokines) begin cleaving the water-retaining portions of the proteoglycans, thereby reducing their water-retaining capabilities. This degradation leads to a less flexible nucleus pulposus, and so changes the loading pattern within the disc, thereby possibly causing delamination of the annulus fibrosus. These changes cause more mechanical instability, thereby causing the cells to emit even more cytokines, typically thereby upregulating MMPs. As this destructive cascade continues and DDD further progresses, the disc begins to bulge (“a herniated disc”), and then ultimately ruptures, causing the nucleus pulposus to contact the spinal cord and produce pain.
One proposed method of managing these problems is to remove the problematic disc and replace it with a porous device that restores disc height and allows for bone growth therethrough for the fusion of the adjacent vertebrae. These devices are commonly called “fusion devices”.
One proposed method of managing these problems is to remove the problematic disc and replace it with a device that restores disc height and allows for bone growth between the adjacent vertebrae. These devices are commonly called fusion devices, or “interbody fusion devices”. Current spinal fusion procedures include transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF), posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF), and extreme lateral interbody fusion (XLIF) procedures. However, implants having textured, toothed upper and lower vertebral engagement teeth can suffer from mechanical interference between the teeth and the bony endplates during implantation. Expandable fusion devices are configured to be implanted into the intervertebral space in a collapsed configuration, and subsequently expanded in the intervertebral space to achieve height restoration.
In one example, an expandable implant can be configured to be inserted in an intervertebral space defined between a first vertebral body and a second vertebral body. The implant can include an upper endplate defining an upper bone contacting surface, the upper endplate having an upper guide member. The implant can further include a lower endplate defining a lower bone contacting surface opposite the upper bone contacting surface along a transverse direction, the lower endplate having a lower guide member. The implant can further define an insertion end and a trailing end opposite the insertion end along a longitudinal direction that is perpendicular to the transverse direction. The implant can further include at least one expansion member that defines a ramped engagement surface configured to bear against an engagement surface of one of the upper and lower endplates so as to move the expandable implant from a collapsed configuration to an expanded configuration as the expansion member moves in an expansion direction with respect to the upper and lower endplate. The expandable implant can define a first height from the upper bone contacting surface to the lower bone contacting surface along in the collapsed configuration. The expandable implant defines a second height from the upper bone contacting surface to the lower bone contacting surface in the collapsed configuration, and the second height is greater than the first height. The expansion member can define an upper guide member and a lower guide member configured to the upper guide member of the upper endplate and the lower guide member of the lower endplate, respectively, so as to guide movement of the upper and lower endplates away from each other as the expansion member moves in the expansion direction. The upper guide members of both the expansion member and the upper endplate can be asymmetrical with respect to the lower guide members of both the expansion member and the lower endplate about a midplane that is oriented perpendicular to the transverse direction.
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:

As will be appreciated from the description below, the intervertebral implant 20 is configured to be inserted into the intervertebral space 22 along a lateral anatomical approach. In one example, the intervertebral implant 20 is configured to be inserted into the intervertebral space 22 in a collapsed configuration (see
The intervertebral implant 20 is described herein as extending horizontally along a longitudinal direction “L” and a lateral direction “A”, and transversely along a transverse direction “T”. Unless otherwise specified herein, the terms “longitudinal,” “lateral,” and “transverse” are used to describe the orthogonal directional components of various implant components and implant component axes. The longitudinal direction L can be perpendicular to the transverse direction T. The lateral direction A can be perpendicular to the longitudinal direction L and the transverse direction T. It should be appreciated that while the longitudinal and lateral directions are illustrated as extending along horizontal directions, and that the transverse direction T is illustrated as extending along a vertical direction, the directions may differ during use depending on the orientation of the implant. For instance, when the implant 20 is inserted into an intervertebral space, such as the intervertebral space 22, the transverse direction T extends generally along the superior-inferior (or caudal-cranial) direction, while the horizontal plane defined by the longitudinal direction L and lateral direction A lies generally in the anatomical plane defined by the anterior-posterior direction, and the medial-lateral direction. In particular, the lateral direction A can extend generally along the anterior-posterior direction. The longitudinal direction L can extend generally along the medial-lateral direction.

The intervertebral implant 20 can further define opposed side surfaces 42 that are opposite each other along a lateral direction A. The lateral direction A can be oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal direction L. The lateral direction A can be said to define a width of the implant. The width can be measured along the anatomical anterior-posterior direction after the intervertebral implant 20 has been inserted into the intervertebral space 22.

Further, the leading end 34 can be tapered along the transverse direction T. Thus, the upper and lower surfaces 38 and 40 can be tapered toward each other along the transverse direction T at the leading end 34 as they extend along the insertion direction. The side surfaces 42 can be tapered toward each other along the lateral direction A at the leading end 34 as they extend along the insertion direction.
The upper and lower bone contacting surfaces 38 and 40 can define a texture 41 configured to grip the respective vertebral body. The texture 41 can be configured as desired, and can include teeth, spikes, ridges, cones, barbs, indentations, knurls, or the like. The texture 41 can extend along a portion or an entirety of each of the upper and lower bone contacting surfaces 38 and 40. For instance, the upper and lower bone contacting surfaces 38 and 40 can include specific patterns of textured and non-textured portions. Further, as illustrated in

The intervertebral implant 20 can further include at least one expansion member that is movable between a collapsed position (
As will be appreciated from the description below, when the intervertebral implant 20 is in the collapsed configuration, movement of the at least one expansion member in the expansion direction causes the at least one expansion member to urge at least one of the upper endplate 44 and the lower endplate 46 away from the other of the upper endplate 44 and the lower endplate 46 along the transverse direction T, thereby moving the intervertebral implant 20 to the expanded configuration. For instance, the at least one expansion member can be configured to urge each of the upper endplate 44 and the lower endplate 46 to move away from the other of the upper endplate 44 and the lower endplate 46 along the transverse direction T. The intervertebral implant 20 can be constructed such that when the implant is in a fully expanded configuration, the at least one expansion member is unable to cause the intervertebral implant 20 to further expand along the transverse direction T. In one example, the at least one expansion member is unable to move further in the expansion direction when the intervertebral implant is in the fully expanded configuration.
When the intervertebral implant 20 is in the expanded configuration, movement of the at least one expansion member in the collapse direction causes the at least one expansion member to urge at least one of the upper endplate 44 and the lower endplate 46 toward from the other of the upper endplate 44 and the lower endplate 46 along the transverse direction T, thereby moving the intervertebral implant 20 to the collapsed configuration. For instance, the at least one expansion member can be configured to urge each of the upper endplate 44 and the lower endplate 46 to move toward the other of the upper endplate 44 and the lower endplate 46 along the transverse direction T. The intervertebral implant 20 can be constructed such that when the implant is in a fully collapsed configuration, the at least one expansion member is unable to move further to the collapsed position so as to cause the intervertebral implant 20 to further collapse along the transverse direction T. In one example, the at least one expansion member is unable to move further in the collapse direction when the intervertebral implant 20 is in the fully collapsed configuration.
With continuing reference to
The and second wedge members 48 and 50 can be positioned between the upper and lower endplates 44 and 46 along the transverse direction T. The first wedge member 48 can be disposed proximal with respect to the second wedge member 50. Conversely, the second wedge member 50 can be said to be disposed distal with respect to the first wedge member 48. Further, the distal end of the second wedge member 50 can define the tapered leading end of the implant 20 when the implant is in the collapsed configuration. Thus, the first wedge member 48 can be referred to as a proximal wedge member, and the second wedge member 50 can be referred to as a distal wedge member. The first and second wedge members 48 and 50 can move toward each other in the expansion direction. Conversely, the first and second wedge members 48 and 50 can move away from each other in the collapse direction.
The intervertebral implant 20 can include an actuator 52 that is coupled to the at least one wedge member. The actuator 52 can be configured to selectively drive the at least one wedge member in the expansion direction and the collapse direction. In particular, the actuator can be coupled to each of the first and second wedge members 48 and 50. The actuator 52 can be configured to drive the first and second wedge members 48 and 50 toward each other along the longitudinal direction L. Further, the actuator 52 can be configured to drive the first and second wedge members 48 and 50 away from each other along the longitudinal direction L.
In one example, the actuator 52 can be configured as a rotatable actuator shaft 54. The actuator shaft 54 can be rotatably supported by at least one of the upper endplate 44 and the lower endplate 46 at a coupling 47. Further, the actuator shaft 54 can be fixed with respect to translation of the actuator shaft 54 along the longitudinal direction L relative to the endplates 44 and 46. In particular, the coupling 47 is configured to translatably fix the actuator shaft 54 relative to the endplates 44 and 46. The first and second wedge members 48 and 50 can be disposed on opposite sides of the coupling 47 with respect to the longitudinal direction L. In one example, the length of the actuator shaft 54 along the longitudinal direction L can be no greater than, such as less than, the respectively lengths of the upper and lower endplates 44 and 46 along the longitudinal direction.
The endplates, wedge members, and actuator shaft can be made of any suitable material as desired. For instance, the endplates and wedge members can be formed of a polyaryletherketone (PAEK) including polyether ether ketone (PEEK), polyetherketoneketone (PEKK), or any other suitable biocompatible polymeric material. The actuator shaft 54 can be formed from a biocompatible polymeric material or metallic alloy, such as titanium or steel. It should appreciated that the any suitable material can be used to form the implant components as described herein. For instance, an entirety of the implant can be made from a titanium alloy. For instance, an entirety of the implant can be made from a titanium-aluminium-niobium (TAN) alloy.
In one example, the actuator shaft 54 can include at least one flange 56 that is configured to engage at least one of the upper endplate 44 and the lower endplate 46. The at least one flange 56 can include first and second flanges 56a and 56b, respectively, that are spaced from each other along the longitudinal direction L so as to define a recess 58 therebetween. At least one of the upper endplate 44 and the lower endplate 46 can define a projection 60 sized to fit in the recess 58 so as to define the coupling 47. The projection 60 can be configured as a cradle 62 that is received in the recess 58. The cradle 62 can define a mechanical interference with the flanges 56a-b both with respect to proximal and distal translation of the actuator shaft 54 relative to the endplates 44 and 46. The cradle 62 can have a sufficient height along the transverse direction T so as to extend in the recess 58 and define the interference both when the implant 20 is in the collapsed configuration and when the implant 20 is in the expanded configuration. In one example, the cradle 62 can be defined by the lower endplate 46. The upper endplate 44 can be fixed to the lower endplate 46 with respect to relative movement along the longitudinal direction L. The first and second flanges 56a-b are rotatable along a central axis of the actuator shaft 54 with respect to the cradle 62, and thus with respect to the endplates 44 and 46. The central axis can be oriented along the longitudinal direction L. It should be appreciated, of course, that the actuator shaft 54 can be translatably fixed to the endplates 44 and 46, and rotatable with respect to the endplates 44 and 46 in any suitable alternative embodiment as desired. For instance, the actuator shaft 54 can include a flange that is received in a recess of one or both of the upper endplate 44 and the lower endplate 46.
The first and second wedge members 48 and 50 can each threadedly mate with the actuator shaft 54. Rotation of the actuator shaft 54 in a first direction of rotation drives the first and second wedge members 48 and 50 to move in the expansion direction. Rotation of the actuator shaft 54 in a second direction opposite the first direction drives the first and second wedge members 48 and 50 to move in the collapse direction. The actuator shaft 54 defines a proximal end 55 that defines a coupling member 57 configured to couple to a drive shaft. The drive shaft can include a complementary drive member that is configured to engage the coupling member 57 of the actuator shaft 54 so as to drive the actuator shaft 54 to selectively rotate in the first direction of rotation and the second direction of rotation. In one example, the coupling member 57 of the actuator shaft 54 can be configured as a socket. The drive member of the drive shaft can be configured as a projection that is received in the socket. The projection and the socket can each define a hex head, a Phillips head, a flat head, a start head, or the like. Alternatively, the drive member of the drive shaft can be configured as a socket, and the coupling member of the 57 of the actuator shaft 54 can be configured as a projection that is configured to be received by the socket of the drive member.
The actuator shaft 54 can define a first threaded portion 64 that includes a first external thread 65, and a second threaded portion 66 that includes a second external thread 67. The at least one flange 56 can be disposed between the first threaded portion 64 and the second threaded portion 66 with respect to the longitudinal direction L. The first threaded portion 64 can be referred to as a proximal threaded portion disposed proximal of the at least one flange 56. The second threaded portion 66 can be referred to as a distal threaded portion that is disposed distal of the at least one flange 56. The first and second threaded portions 64 and 66 can define respective first and second external thread patterns that are oriented in opposite directions.
The actuator shaft 54 can further define a first unthreaded portion 73 that extends between the first threaded portion 64 and the first flange 56a. For instance, the first unthreaded portion 73 can extend from the first threaded portion 64 to the first flange 56a. The first unthreaded portion 73 can define an outer diameter that is equal to the minor diameter of the first threaded portion 64. Alternatively, the first threaded portion 64 can extend to the first flange 56a. Similarly, the actuator shaft 54 can further define a second unthreaded portion 75 that extends between the second threaded portion 66 and the second flange 56b. For instance, the second unthreaded portion 75 can extend from the second threaded portion 66 to the second flange 56b. The second unthreaded portion 75 can define an outer diameter that is equal to the minor diameter of the second threaded portion 66. In one example, the outer diameter of the second unthreaded portion 75 can be substantially equal to the outer diameter of the first unthreaded portion 73. Alternatively, the second threaded portion 66 can extend to the second flange 56b.
The first and second wedge members 48 and 50 are configured to threadedly mate with the first and second threaded portions 64 and 66, respectively, of the actuator shaft 54. In one example, the first wedge member 48 can include a first wall 69 that defines a first bore 68 sized to receive the first threaded portion 64. The first bore 68 can extend through the first wedge member 48 along the longitudinal direction L. The first wedge member 48 can define a first internal thread 70 in the first bore 68 that mates with the first external thread 65 when the first threaded portion 64 has been received in the first bore 68. The second wedge member 50 can include a second wall 71 that defines a second bore 72 sized to receive the second threaded portion 64. The second bore 72 can extend through the second wedge member 50 along the longitudinal direction L. The second wedge member 50 can define a second internal thread 74 in the second bore 72 that mates with the second external thread 67 when the second threaded portion 66 has been received in the second bore 72. Thus, the first internal thread 70 and the second internal thread 74 can define respective first and second internal thread patterns that are oriented in opposite directions.
The first internal thread pattern can be oriented in the same direction as the first external thread pattern. The second internal thread pattern can be oriented in the same direction as the second external thread pattern. Thus, when the actuator shaft 54 rotates about the central axis, the first and second wedge members 48 and 50 translate along the actuator shaft 54. As described above, when the actuator shaft 54 rotates in the first direction of rotation, the first and second wedge members 48 and 50 translate along the actuator shaft 54 toward each other. When the actuator shaft 54 rotates in the second direction of rotation, the first and second wedge members 48 and 50 translate along the actuator shaft 54 away from each other. The first and second internal thread patterns and the first and second external thread patterns can have the same thread pitch, such that the first and second wedge members 48 and 50 can translate along the actuator shaft 54 at the same rate. It should be appreciated, of course, that the thread pitches can be different such that the first and second wedge members 48 and 50 translate along the actuator shaft 54 at respective different rates as desired.

In one example, the first wedge member 48 defines a first upper engagement surface 76 and a first lower engagement surface 78 opposite the first upper engagement surface 76 along the transverse direction T. The first upper engagement surface 76 can be configured as a ramped engagement surface. Similarly, the first lower engagement surface 78 can be configured as a ramped engagement surface. The first upper engagement surface 76 can flare downward as it extends in the expansion direction of the first wedge member 48. The expansion direction of the first wedge member 48 can be toward the coupling 47, and thus toward the second wedge member 50. The first lower engagement surface 78 can flare upward as it extends in the expansion direction of the first wedge member 48. For instance, the first upper engagement surface 76 and the first lower engagement surface 78 can have a linear taper. Alternatively, the first upper engagement surface 76 and the first lower engagement surface 78 can have a curved taper. The first upper engagement surface 76 and the first lower engagement surface 78 can be sloped substantially equal and opposite each other. The first wall 69, and thus the first bore 68, can extend out with respect to the first upper engagement surface 76 and the first lower engagement surface 78 in the expansion direction.
In one example, the second wedge member 50 defines a second upper engagement surface 80 and a second lower engagement surface 82 opposite the second upper engagement surface 80 along the transverse direction T. The second upper engagement surface 80 can be configured as a ramped engagement surface. Similarly, the second lower engagement surface 82 can be configured as a ramped engagement surface. For instance, the second upper engagement surface 80 can flare downward as it extends in the expansion direction of the second wedge member 50. The expansion direction of the second wedge member 50 can be toward the coupling 47, and thus toward the first wedge member 48. The second lower engagement surface 80 can flare upward as it extends in the expansion direction of the second wedge member 50. For instance, the second upper engagement surface 80 and the second lower engagement surface 82 can have a linear taper. Alternatively, the second upper engagement surface 80 and the second lower engagement surface 82 can have a curved taper. The second upper engagement surface 80 and the second lower engagement surface 82 can be sloped substantially equal and opposite each other. Further, the first and second upper engagement surfaces 76 and 80 can be sloped substantially equal and opposite each other. Further, the first and second lower engagement surfaces 78 and 82 can be sloped equal and opposite each other. The second wall 71, and thus the second bore 72, can extend out with respect to the second upper engagement surface 80 and the second lower engagement surface 82 in the expansion direction.
With continuing reference to
The upper endplate 44 can further define a second upper engagement surface 86 that is configured to engage the second upper engagement surface 80 of the second wedge member 50. For instance, the second upper engagement surface 86 of the upper endplate 44 is configured to ride along the second upper engagement surface 80 of the second wedge member 48, and vice versa, as the second wedge member 50 moves in both the expansion direction and the collapse direction. In one example, the second upper engagement surface 86 of the upper endplate 44 can be in surface contact with the second upper engagement surface 80 of the second wedge member 50. The second upper engagement surface 86 of the upper endplate 44 can flare down toward the lower endplate 46 as it extends in the expansion direction of the second wedge member 50. For instance, the second upper engagement surface 86 of the upper endplate 44 can have a linear taper. Alternatively, the second upper engagement surface 86 of the upper endplate 44 can have a curved taper. The second upper engagement surface 86 of the upper endplate 44 can be sloped equal to the second upper engagement surface 80 of the second wedge member 50. Further, the first and second upper engagement surfaces 84 and 86 of the upper endplate can be sloped substantially equal and opposite each other. The term “substantially” and “approximately” as used herein can include the stated shape, direction, dimension, or other parameter along with variations due to factors such as manufacturing tolerance, and in one example can account for variations up to +/−10% of the stated shape, direction, dimension, or other parameter.
The lower endplate 46 can define a first lower engagement surface 88 that is configured to engage the first lower engagement surface 78 of the first wedge member 48. For instance, the first lower engagement surface 88 of the lower endplate 46 is configured to ride along the first lower engagement surface 78 of the first wedge member 48, and vice versa, as the first wedge member 48 moves in both the expansion direction and the collapse direction. In one example, the first lower engagement surface 88 of the lower endplate 46 can be in surface contact with the first lower engagement surface 78 of the first wedge member 48. The first lower engagement surface 88 of the lower endplate 46 can flare up toward the upper endplate 44 as it extends in the expansion direction of the first wedge member 48. For instance, the first lower engagement surface 88 of the lower endplate 46 can have a linear taper. Alternatively, the first lower engagement surface 88 of the lower endplate 46 can have a curved taper. The first lower engagement surface 88 of the lower endplate 46 can be sloped equal to the first lower engagement surface 78 of the first wedge member 48.
The lower endplate 46 can further define a second lower engagement surface 90 that is configured to engage the second lower engagement surface 82 of the second wedge member 50. For instance, the second lower engagement surface 90 of the lower endplate 46 is configured to ride along the second lower engagement surface 82 of the second wedge member 50, and vice versa, as the second wedge member 50 moves in both the expansion direction and the collapse direction. In one example, the second lower engagement surface 90 of the lower endplate 46 can be in surface contact with the second lower engagement surface 82 of the second wedge member 50. The second lower engagement surface 90 of the lower endplate 46 can flare up toward the upper endplate 44 as it extends in the expansion direction of the second wedge member 50. For instance, the second lower engagement surface 90 of the lower endplate 46 can have a linear taper. Alternatively, the second lower engagement surface 90 of the lower endplate 46 can have a curved taper. The second lower engagement surface 90 of the lower endplate 46 can be sloped equal to the second lower engagement surface 82 of the second wedge member 50. Further, the first and second lower engagement surfaces 88 and 90 of the second endplate 46 can be sloped substantially equal and opposite each other.
Thus, it can be said that the intervertebral implant 20 includes at least one wedge member that is configured to ride along a complementary engagement surface of at least one or both of the upper endplate 44 and the lower endplate 46 as the at least one wedge member moves in the expansion direction and the collapse direction. The at least one wedge member can include the first and second wedge members 48 and 50. The first and second wedge members 48 and 50 can push the upper and lower endplates 44 and 46 away from each other along the transverse direction as they travel in the expansion direction. The engagement surfaces 76 and 78 of the first wedge member 48, the engagement surfaces 80 and 82 of the second wedge member 50, the engagement surfaces 84 and 86 the upper endplate 44, and the engagement surfaces 88 and 90 of the lower endplate 46 can all be referred to as ramp surfaces.
As illustrated in

In particular, the first wedge member 48 defines a first upper guide member 100 and a first lower guide member 102. At least a portion of the first upper guide member 100 and at least a portion of the first lower guide member 102 can be aligned with each other along a plane that is oriented along the lateral direction A and the transverse direction T. The first upper guide member 100 can be disposed upward with respect to the first lower guide member 102. The upper endplate 44 defines a first upper guide member 104 that is configured to engage the first upper guide member 100 of the first wedge member 48. The lower endplate 46 defines a first lower guide member 106 that is configured to engage the first lower guide member 100 of the first wedge member 48. The first upper guide member 104 of the upper endplate 44 can be disposed upward with respect to the first lower guide member 106 of the lower endplate 46.
As will be appreciated from the description below, the first upper guide member 100 and the first lower guide member 102 of the first wedge member 48 can be asymmetrical with respect to each other about a first centrally disposed midplane that is oriented along the longitudinal direction L and the lateral direction A. The midplane can thus be oriented perpendicular to the transverse direction T. Further, the midplane can be positioned equidistantly between the upper guide members and the lower guide members. In one example, the midplane can include the central axis of the actuator shaft 54.
Further, the first upper guide member 104 of the upper endplate 44 and the first lower guide member 106 of the lower endplate 46 can be asymmetrical with respect to each other about a second centrally disposed midplane that is oriented along the longitudinal direction L and the lateral direction A. The first and second centrally disposed midplanes can be coincident with each other. Thus, the second midplane can be oriented perpendicular to the transverse direction T. Further, the second midplane can be positioned equidistantly between the upper guide members and the lower guide members. In one example, the second midplane can include the central axis of the actuator shaft 54.
In one example, one of the upper end lower guide members of the first wedge member 48 can define at least one outer projection, and the other of the upper and lower guide members of the first wedge member 48 can define at least one inner projection. The at least one inner projection can be inwardly offset with respect to the at least one outer projection along the lateral direction A. Similarly, one of the first guide members of the upper and lower endplates 44 and 46 can define an outer channel that is configured to slidably received the outer projection of the first wedge member 48. The other of the first guide members of the upper and lower endplates 44 and 46 can define an inner channel that is configured to slidably receive the inner projection of the first wedge member 48. Thus, the complementary guide members of the first wedge member 48 and the upper and lower endplates 44 and 46 can define tongue-in-groove, or T-shaped, guidance engagements.
In one example, the first upper guide member 100 of the first wedge member 48 can be configured as at least one first outer projection 108 that extends out along the lateral direction A. For instance, the first upper guide member 100 of the first wedge member 48 can be configured as first and second outer projections 108 that extend out along the lateral direction A away from each other. The first and second outer projections 108 can be aligned with each other along the lateral direction A. The outer projections 108 of the first wedge member 48 can define respective upper surfaces that are coplanar with the first upper engagement surface 76 (see
The first upper guide member 104 of the upper endplate 44 can be configured as at least one channel 112 that is sized to slidably receive the at least one projection 108. The at least one channel 112 can be configured as first and second channels 112 that are recessed along the lateral direction A toward the respective side surfaces of the implant. The channels 112 can be recessed in respective directions away each other. The first and second channels 112 are configured to slidably receive the first and second projections 108. The first and second projections 108 can be elongate along the direction of extension of the respective channels 112. The channels 112 can extend through the proximal facing surface of the upper endplate 44. The projections 108 and the channels 112 can flare downward as they extend in the expansion direction of the first wedge member 48. The channels 112 can be referred to as outer channels.
The first lower guide member 106 of the lower endplate 46 can be configured as at least one channel 114 that is sized to slidably receive the at least one inner projection 110 of the first wedge member 48. The at least one channel 114 can be referred to as an inner channel that is inwardly offset with respect to the at least one outer channel 112 of the upper endplate 44. The at least one inner channel 114 can be configured as first and second inner channels 114 that are recessed along respective directions away from each other. The first and second inner channels 114 can slidably receive respective ones of the first and second inner projections 110. The projections 110 and the channels 114 can flare upward as they extend in the expansion direction of the first wedge member 48. The channels 114 can extend through the proximal facing surface of the lower endplate 46.
With continuing reference to
As will be appreciated from the description below, the second upper guide member 116 and the second lower guide member 118 of the second wedge member 50 can be asymmetrical with respect to each other about a third centrally disposed midplane that is oriented along the longitudinal direction L and the lateral direction A. The third centrally disposed midplane can be coincident with the first centrally disposed plane. Further, the second upper guide member 120 of the upper endplate 44 and the second lower guide member 122 of the lower endplate 46 can be asymmetrical with respect to each other about a fourth centrally disposed midplane that is oriented along the longitudinal direction L and the lateral direction A. The third and fourth centrally disposed planes can be coincident with each other. In one example, one of the upper end lower guide members of the second wedge member 50 can define at least one outer projection, and the other of the upper and lower guide members of the second wedge member 50 can define at least one inner projection. The at least one inner projection can be inwardly offset from the at least one outer projection along the lateral direction A. Similarly, one of the second guide members of the upper and lower endplates 44 and 46 can define at least one inner channel that is configured to slidably receive the at least one inner projection of the second wedge member 50. The other of the second guide members of the upper and lower endplates 44 and 46 can define at least one inner channel that is configured to slidably receive the at least one inner projection of the second wedge member 50. Thus, the complementary guide members of the second wedge member 50 and the upper and lower endplates 44 and 46 can define tongue-in-groove, or T-shaped, guidance engagements.
In one example, the second upper guide member 116 of the second wedge member 50 can be configured as at least one second outer projection 124 that extends out along the lateral direction A. For instance, the second upper guide member 116 of the second wedge member 50 can be configured as first and second outer projections 124 that extend out along the lateral direction A away from each other. The first and second outer projections 124 can be aligned with each other along the lateral direction A. The first and second outer projections 124 of the second wedge member 50 can define respective upper surfaces that are coplanar with the second upper engagement surface 80 (see
The second upper guide member 120 of the upper endplate 44 can be configured as at least one channel 128 that is sized to slidably receive the at least one projection 124. The at least one channel 128 can thus be referred to as an outer channel. Further, the at least one channel 128 can be configured as first and second outer channels 128 that are recessed outward along the lateral direction A toward the respective side surfaces of the implant 20. Accordingly, the first and second outer channels 128 can be recessed along a direction away from each other. The first and second outer channels 128 are configured to slidably receive the first and second outer projections 124. The outer channels 128 can extend through the distal facing surface of the upper endplate 44. The projections 124 and the channels 128 can flare downward as they extend in the expansion direction of the second wedge member 50.
The second lower guide member 122 of the lower endplate 46 can be configured as at least one inner channel 130 that is sized to slidably receive the at least one inner projection 126 of the second wedge member 50. The at least one inner channel 130 can be inwardly recessed along the lateral direction A with respect to the at least one outer channel 128. The at least one inner channel 130 can be configured as first and second inner 130 that are recessed laterally outward away from each other. The first and second inner channels 130 can slidably receive respective ones of the first and second inner projections 126. The first and second inner projections 126 can be elongate along the direction of the first and second inner channels 130, respectively. The inner channels 130 and the inner projections 126 can flare upward as they extend in the expansion direction of the second wedge member 50. The inner channels 130 can extend out from the distal facing surface of the lower endplate 46. The second outer projections 124 can also be referred to second upper projections 124, and the second inner projections 126 can also be referred to as second lower projections 126.
It should thus be appreciated that the guide members of the first and second wedge members 48 and 50 can engage the guide members of the upper and lower endplates 44 and 46 so as to prevent the wedge members 48 and 50 from becoming decoupled from the upper and lower endplates 44 and 46 along the transverse direction T. In this regard, it should be appreciated that the upper end lower endplates 44 and 46 can abut each other along the transverse direction T when the implant 20 is in the fully collapsed configuration. The guide members of the first and second wedge members 48 and 50 can be engaged with the guide members of the upper and lower endplates 44 and 46 when the implant 20 is in the fully collapsed configuration. Thus, the wedge members 48 and 50 are prevented from fully backing out of the engagement members of the upper and lower endplates 44 and 46. Further, the intervertebral implant 20 can be constructed such that the first and second wedge members 48 and 50 do not extend past the upper and lower endplates 44 and 46 along the longitudinal direction L. Thus, no part of the first wedge member 48 extends proximally past the proximal end of the upper and lower endplates 44 and 46. Further, no part of the second wedge member 50 extends distally past the distal end of the upper and lower endplates 44 and 46. For instance, the entirety of the first wedge member 50 can be recessed distally with respect to the proximal ends of the endplates 44 and 46 both when the implant 20 is in the collapsed configuration and when the implant 20 is in the expanded configuration. Similarly, the entirety of the second wedge member 50 can be recessed proximally with respect to the distal ends of the endplates 44 and 46 both when the implant 20 is in the collapsed configuration and when the implant 20 is in the expanded configuration. The implant 20 can further include a stop member that prevents the wedge members 48 and 50 from continuing to move in the expansion direction once the implant has reached the fully expanded configuration.
As described above, the upper end lower endplates 44 and 46 can abut each other along the transverse direction T when the implant 20 is in the fully collapsed configuration. In particular, one of the upper and lower endplates 44 and 46 can nest within the other of the upper and lower endplates 44 and 46 when the intervertebral implant 20 is in the collapsed configuration. In one example, the lower endplate 46 can nest within the upper endplate 44. That is, the side walls and end walls of the lower endplate 46 can fit inside the side walls and end walls of the upper endplate 44 until a horizontal plate member 61 that defines the lower surface 40 abuts the lower end of the side walls of the upper endplate 44. In particular, an inner surface of the horizontal plate member 61 that is opposite the lower surface 40 abuts the lower end of the side walls of the upper endplate 44. The inner surface of the horizontal plate member 61 of the lower endplate 46 can also abut the lower end of the end walls of the upper endplate 44.
Accordingly, the intervertebral implant 20 can achieve a low profile in the collapsed configuration. For instance, the implant 20 can have a height in a range from approximately 5 mm to approximately 10 mm at its geometric center, such as approximately 7 mm, when the implant 20 is in the fully collapsed configuration. It should be appreciated that the height of the implant 20 in the fully collapsed configuration can be any suitable height as desired, such as from approximately 10 mm to approximately 15 mm. Thus, the implant be inserted into the intervertebral space with minimal or no mechanical interference between at least one or both of the surfaces 38 and 40 and the bony vertebral endplates of the vertebrae. The height of the implant 20 in the fully expanded configuration can be greater than the height of the implant 20 in the fully collapsed configuration by any suitable difference distance as desired. For instance, the difference distance can be in a range from approximately 2 mm to approximately 15 mm, including from approximately 4 mm to approximately 8 mm, including approximately 5 mm. At the tapered leading end, the height of the implant 20 can be less than the height of the implant at the geometric center by any suitable reduction distance as desired. In one example, the reduction distance can be in a range greater than 0 mm up to approximately 5 mm, which can include up to approximately 4 mm, up to approximately 3 mm, up to approximately 2 mm, and up to approximately 1 mm.
It should thus be appreciated that the endplate whose at least one guide member is configured as an inner channel can nest within the endplate whose at least one guide member is configured as an outer channel. In this regard, an inner surface of a horizontal plate member of the upper endplate 44 that is opposite the lower surface 38 can alternatively abuts the upper end of the side walls of the lower endplate 46. The inner surface of the horizontal plate member of the upper endplate 44 can also abut the upper end of the end walls of the lower endplate 46. It should be appreciated that one or both of the guide members of each of the wedge members 48 and 50 can be alternatively configured as channels, and one or both of the guide members of each of the endplates 44 and 46 can alternatively be configured as projections that are slidably received in the channels in the manner described herein.

In one example, the projections 137 can extend inward along the lateral direction A from the laterally inner surface of each of the side walls of the upper endplate 44. The lower endplate 46 can include at least one recess 139, such as first and second recesses at each side wall of the lower endplate 46. In particular, the recesses 139 can extend inward into the outer surface of the side walls of the lower endplate 46 along the lateral direction A. The recesses 139 can extend vertically through the lower endplate 46. It should be appreciated, of course, that the projections 137 and recesses 139 can be alternatively positioned as desired. The recesses 139 can be sized and positioned to slidably receive respective ones of the projections 137 as the implant 20 moves between the collapsed configuration and the expanded configuration.

For instance, in one example, one of the upper and lower endplates 44 and 46 can define at least one limiter tab 132, and the other of the upper and lower endplates 44 and 46 can define at least one limiter channel 134. The limiter channel 134 is sized to receive at least a portion of the limiter tab 132 as the implant 20 moves between the expanded configuration and the collapsed configuration. The limiter tabs 132 of one of the upper and lower endplates 44 and 46 can include the first stop surface 131 that is configured to engage the complementary second stop surface 135 of the other of the upper and lower endplates 44 and 46 when the implant 20 is in the fully expanded configuration. The first stop surface 131 can ride in the limiter channel 134 as the implant 20 moves between the collapsed configuration and the expanded configuration. In one example, the lower endplate 46 can include the at least one limiter tab 132, and the upper endplate 44 can define the at least one limiter channel 134. Alternatively, the upper endplate 44 can include the at least one limiter tab 132, and the lower endplate 46 can include the at least one limiter channel 134.
The lower endplate 46 can define at least one pair of limiter tabs 132. For instance, the lower endplate 46 can include first and second pairs of limiter tabs 132 that are spaced apart from each other along the lateral direction. The limiter tabs 132 of each pair can be spaced from each other along the longitudinal direction L. Respective ones of each of the first and second pairs of limiter tabs 132 can also be aligned with each other along the lateral direction A. Similarly, the upper the endplate 44 can define first and second pairs of limiter channels 134 that are spaced from each other along the lateral direction A. The limiter channels 134 of each pair can be spaced from each other along the longitudinal direction L. Respective ones of each of the first and second pairs of limiter channels 134 can also be aligned with each other along the lateral direction A.
The limiter channels 134 can be open to the bone graft apertures along the lateral direction A. As described above, each of the limiter tabs 132 can include the first stop surface 131. The first stop surface 131 can be defined by a barb 133 that extends toward the upper endplate 44. The lower endplate 46 can include at least one complementary stop surface 135 that is configured to abut a respective one of the at least one stop surface 131 of the upper endplate 44 when the implant 20 is in the fully expanded configuration. The stop surfaces 135 of the lower endplate 46 can be disposed at respective ends of the limiter channels 134. In one example, each of the second stop surfaces 135 can define a respective end of the limiter channels 134. For instance, the second stop surfaces 135 can define the lower ends of the respective limiter channels 134. Respective ones of the stop surfaces 131 and 135 can be aligned with each other along the transverse direction T. Thus, when the implant 20 expands to its fully expanded configuration, the stop surfaces 131 can abut the stop surfaces 135 so as to prevent further movement of the endplates 44 and 46 away from each other. The abutment of the stop surfaces 131 and 135 can thus also prevent the wedge members 48 and 50 from further traveling toward each other along the actuator shaft 54. In this regard, it should be appreciated that the expansion limiter 129 can include the limiter tab 132 and the limiter channel 134.
In one example, the limiter tabs 132 do not extend beyond the upper surface 38 when the implant 20 is in the fully contracted position. For instance, the limiter tabs 132 can be recessed with respect to the upper surface 38 when the implant is in the fully contracted position. While the limiter tabs 132 are illustrated as extending from the lower endplate 46 into the limiter channels 134 of the upper endplate 44, it should be appreciated that one or more limiter tabs can alternatively extend from the upper endplate 44 into respective one or more limiter channels of the lower endplate 46.

The second attachment aperture 98 can extend at least into the first wedge member 48. For instance, the second attachment aperture 98 can extend at least into the first wedge member 48 along the longitudinal direction L. Thus, the first and second attachment apertures 96 and 98 can be oriented parallel to each other. Further, the first and second attachment apertures 96 and 98 can be aligned with each other in a plane that is defined by the longitudinal direction L and the lateral direction A. In one example, the second attachment aperture 98 can extend through the first wedge member 48. At least a portion of the second attachment aperture 98 can be threaded. Further, the second attachment aperture 98 can be open to the proximal end of the first wedge member 48. For instance, the second attachment aperture 98 can be open to the proximal facing surface 97 of the first wedge member 48.
The first and second attachment aperture 96 and 98 can be disposed on opposite sides of the first bore 68 of the first wedge member 48. Thus, the first bore 68 can be disposed between the first and second attachment apertures 96 and 98. In particular, the first bore 68 can be disposed between the first and second attachment apertures 96 and 98 with respect to the lateral direction A. Further, each of the first and second attachment apertures 96 and 98 and the first bore 68 can define respective openings at the proximal facing surface 97 of the first wedge member 48. The openings can be aligned with each other along the lateral direction. As will be described in more detail below, the instrument can couple to one or both of the attachment apertures 96 and 98, and can further extend into the first bore 68 so as to drive the actuator shaft 54 to selectively rotate in the first and second directions of rotation.

The instrument 152 can further include an outer support shaft 156 that is configured to support the attachment member 154. The support shaft 156 can be elongate along the longitudinal direction l. For instance, the support shaft 156 can extend proximally from the attachment member 154. The support shaft 156 can include a distal support shaft portion 156a and a proximal support shaft portion 156b that is joined to the distal support shaft portion 156a. For instance, the instrument 152 can include a coupler 158 that couples the proximal support shaft portion 156b to the distal support shaft portion 156a. The instrument 152 can include an instrument handle 160 that is supported at the proximal end of the support shaft 156. For instance, the instrument handle 160 can be supported at the proximal end of the proximal support shaft portion 156b.
The instrument 152 can further include a drive member that is configured as a drive shaft 162. The drive shaft 162, and thus the drive member, can be configured to engage at least one of the first and second attachment pins 157 and 159, and can further be configured to rotatably engage the actuator shaft 54 of the intervertebral implant 20. The drive shaft 162 can be oriented along the longitudinal direction L. The instrument 152 can further include a toggle member 164 that is configured to move the drive shaft 162 between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the drive shaft 162 is aligned with the at least one of the first and second attachment pins 157 and 159. In the second position, the drive shaft 162 is aligned with the actuator shaft 54 of the intervertebral implant 20. In one example, the toggle member 164 is configured as a toggle shaft 166 disposed in the support shaft 156. The toggle shaft 166 can define a channel 168 that is elongate along the longitudinal direction L and is configured to receive the drive shaft 162. The toggle shaft 166 is rotatable between a first rotational position to a second rotational position so as to move the drive shaft between the first and second positions. The toggle shaft 166 can be rotated about a central axis that is oriented along the longitudinal direction L between the first rotational position and the second rotational position. The toggle shaft 166 supports the drive shaft 162 in the first position when the toggle shaft is in the first rotational position. The toggle shaft 166 supports the drive shaft 162 in the second position when the toggle shaft 166 is in the second rotational position. The instrument 152 can further include at least one locating finger 170 and at least one spring 172 that delivers a spring force to the at least one locating finger 170 so as to urge the at least one locating finger 170 into a corresponding at least one detent 174 both when the toggle shaft 166 is in the first rotational position and when the toggle shaft 166 is in the second rotational position.
The instrument 152 can include a drive handle 176 that is configured to rotatably support the drive shaft 162 at the proximal end of the drive shaft 162. The drive shaft 162 can be eccentrically supported in the drive handle 176, such that rotation of the handle 176 along its central axis causes the drive shaft 162 to revolve about the central axis of the handle 176. The central axis of the handle 176 can be coincident with the central axis of the toggle shaft 166. That is, the drive shaft 162 can be positioned offset with respect to the central axis of the drive handle 165. The drive shaft 162 can define an drive member 167 at its proximal end that can engage a power tool that drives the rotation of the drive shaft 162. The drive member 167 can extend proximally from the drive handle 176. The proximal end of the toggle shaft 166 can be press fit into the distal end of the drive handle 165. Thus, rotation of the drive handle 165 can rotate the toggle shaft 166 between the first rotational position and the second rotational position.
Operation of aspects of the instrument 152 will now be described with respect to
Next, referring now to
The drive member and the coupling member 178 can define a hex head, a Phillips head, a flat head, a start head, or the like. The drive member 175 can be configured as a projection, and the coupling member 178 can be configured as a socket, or vice versa. As the second attachment pin 159 rotates in a respective first direction of rotation, the second attachment pin 159 can threadedly purchase with the intervertebral implant in the other of the first and second apertures 96 and 98. Thus, the second attachment pin 159 can be attached to both the attachment member 154 of the instrument 152 as well as the intervertebral implant 20. As illustrated in
It should be appreciated that the first attachment pin 157 can be referred to as a pilot pin that is designed to make the first attachment with the implant, and the second attachment pin 159 can be referred to as an attachment screw that is threaded and configured to threadedly purchase with the implant 20 in the second attachment aperture. As illustrated in
Referring now to
The instrument 152 can be configured such that after the drive shaft 162 has driven the second attachment pin 159 into the implant 20, retraction of the drive shaft 126 in the proximal direction allows the toggle shaft 166 to be rotated between the first and second rotational positions. In one example, the attachment housing 155 can define a first or outer channel 182 that can retain the second attachment pin 159. The drive shaft 162 can extend into the channel 182 when the drive shaft 162 drives the channel 182 into the other of the first and second attachment apertures 96 and 98. Thus, the drive shaft 162 can interfere with the attachment housing 155 in the channel 182 so as to prevent the toggle shaft 166 from rotating from the first rotational position to the second rotational position. Thus, the interference between the drive shaft 162 and the attachment housing 155 can prevent the drive shaft 162 from moving from the first position aligned with the second attachment pin 159 to the second position aligned with the actuator shaft 54. When the drive shaft 162 has retracted along the proximal direction out of the channel 182, the interference is removed and the toggle shaft 166 can be rotated from the first rotational position to the second rotational position.
When the toggle shaft 166 is in the second rotational position, the drive shaft 162 is in the respective second position, and thus aligned with the actuator shaft 54. Thus, the drive shaft 162 can be translated distally until the drive member 175 engages the coupling member 57 of the actuator shaft 54. Subsequent rotation of the drive shaft 162 in the first direction of rotation thus causes the actuator shaft 54 to rotate in the first direction of rotation, thereby expanding the implant 20 from the collapsed configuration to the expanded configuration. Rotation of the draft shaft 162 in the second direction causes the actuator shaft 54 to rotate in the second direction of rotation, thereby collapsing the implant 20 from the expanded configuration to the collapsed configuration.
As the drive shaft 162 rotates the actuator shaft 54 in the first direction of rotation, the first wedge member 48 travels in the expansion direction as described above. Because the first and second attachment pins 157 and 159 are attached to the first wedge member 48, the attachment housing 155 moves along with the first wedge member 48 in the direction of expansion. Thus, the attachment housing 155 translates distally along with the first wedge member 48 as the implant 20 moves to the expanded configuration. Because the actuator shaft 54 remains translatably fixed, the attachment housing 155 translates distally along with respect to the drive shaft 162. In one example, the attachment housing 155, the outer support shaft 156, and the handles 160 and 176 can translate with the first wedge member 48 both as the wedge member 48 selectively moves in the expansion direction and the collapse direction. The because drive shaft 162 is rotatably coupled to the actuator shaft 54, the drive shaft 162 can remain translatably fixed to the actuator shaft, and thus translatably stationary with respect to the attachment housing 155, the outer support shaft 156, and the handles 160 and 176 as the attachment housing 155, the outer support shaft 156, and the handles 160 and 176 translate with the first wedge member 48.
Further, as the drive shaft 162 rotates the actuator shaft 54 in the second direction of rotation, the first wedge member 48 travels in the collapse direction as described above. Because the first and second attachment pins 157 and 159 are attached to the first wedge member 48, the attachment housing 155 moves along with the first wedge member 48 in the direction of contraction. Thus, the attachment housing 155 translates proximally along with the wedge member as the implant 20 moves to the collapsed configuration.
The attachment housing 155 can define a second or inner channel 184 that is sized to receive the distal end of the drive shaft 162. The drive shaft 162 can extend into the inner channel 184 when the drive shaft 162 is translated distally such that the drive member 175 engages the coupling member 57 of the actuator shaft 54. Interference between the drive shaft 62 and the attachment housing 155 in the inner channel 184 prevents the toggle shaft 166 from rotating from the second rotational position to the first rotational position. Thus, the interference between the drive shaft 162 and the attachment housing 155 can prevent the drive shaft 162 from moving from the second position aligned with the actuator shaft 54 to the first position aligned with the second attachment pin 159. When the drive shaft 162 has retracted along the proximal direction out of the channel 182, the interference is removed and the toggle shaft 166 can be rotated from the second rotational position to the first rotational position.
Thus, referring again to
During operation, the first and second attachment pins 157 and 159 can be attached to the intervertebral implant 20 in the manner described herein. The drive shaft 162 can be removed from the support shaft 156. The instrument 152 can receive impaction forces as desired to assist with insertion of the intervertebral implant 20 in the intervertebral space. Once the intervertebral implant 20 has been inserted in the intervertebral space, the drive shaft 162 can be inserted into the support shaft 156. The first and second attachment pins 157 and 159 can then be attached to the implant 20 in the manner described above, and the actuator shaft 54 can be rotated. The first and second pins 157 and 159 can then be detached from the implant 20.

The angled attachment housing 155 can be advantageous when it is desired to implant the intervertebral implant in an intervertebral space that is difficult to access along a pure lateral approach. For instance, the iliac crest, ribcage, or other anatomical structure can impede a pure lateral approach into certain intervertebral spaces. The angle attachment housing allows the outer support shaft 156 to be oriented along the lateral direction A and the transverse direction T while the attached intervertebral implant 20 is oriented along the lateral direction A as it is inserted into the intervertebral space.

The at least one stop member can include a first stop member 198 and a second stop member 200 that are configured to be supported by the actuator shaft 54. The first stop member 198 is configured to be positioned adjacent the first wedge member 48 in the expansion direction. For instance, the first stop member 198 can be positioned on the actuator shaft 54 at a location adjacent the first wedge member 48 in the expansion direction. Thus, the first stop member 198 is configured to abut the first wedge member 48, thereby preventing the first wedge member 48 from moving in the expansion direction. Similarly, the second stop member 200 is configured to be positioned adjacent the second wedge member 50 in the expansion direction. For instance, the second stop member 200 can be positioned on the actuator shaft 54 at a location adjacent the second wedge member 50 in the expansion direction. Thus, the second stop member 198 is configured to abut the second wedge member 50, thereby preventing the second wedge member 50 from moving in the expansion direction.
In one example, the first and second stop members 198 and 200 can be removably secured to the actuator shaft 54. For instance, the actuator shaft 54 can define a first shoulder 202 that is spaced from the first wedge member 48 in the expansion direction. Thus, in one example, the first shoulder 202 can be disposed between the first wedge member 48 and the recess 58 of the actuator shaft 54. Accordingly, a first gap 204 is defined between the first shoulder 202 and the first wedge member 48 along the longitudinal direction. Further, at least a portion of the first shoulder 202 and at least a portion of the first wedge member 48 can be aligned with each other along the longitudinal direction L. The first gap 204 has a length that extends from the first wedge member 48 to the first shoulder 202 along the longitudinal direction. Thus, the length of the first gap 204 decreases as the first wedge member 48 moves in the direction of expansion. The first stop member 198 can attached to the actuator shaft 54 in the first gap 204 such that a first or abutment surface 230 of the first stop member 198 faces the first shoulder 202 and a second or stop surface 232 of the first stop member 198 opposite the abutment surface 230 of the first stop member 198 faces the first wedge member 48. The first stop member 198 has a length that extends from the abutment surface 230 of the first stop member 198 to the stop surface 232 of the first stop member 198. It should be appreciated that the length of the first stop member 198 can determine the expansion position of the first wedge member 48.
The actuator shaft 54 can define a second shoulder 206 that is spaced from the first wedge member 48 in the expansion direction. Thus, in one example, the second shoulder 206 can be disposed between the second wedge member 50 and the recess 58 of the actuator shaft 54. Further, the first and second shoulders 202 and 206 can be disposed between the first and second wedge members 48 and 50. A second gap 208 is defined between the second shoulder 206 and the second wedge member 50 along the longitudinal direction. Further, at least a portion of the second shoulder 206 and at least a portion of the second wedge member 50 can be aligned with each other along the longitudinal direction L. The second gap 208 has a length that extends from the second wedge member 50 to the second shoulder 206 along the longitudinal direction. L. Thus, the length of the second gap 208 decreases as the second wedge member 50 moves in the direction of expansion. The second stop member 200 can attached to the actuator shaft 54 in the second gap 208 such that a first or abutment surface 230 of the second stop member 200 faces the second shoulder 206 and a second or stop surface 232 of the second stop member 200 opposite the abutment surface 230 of the second stop member 200 faces the second wedge member 50. The second stop member 200 has a length that extends from the abutment surface 230 of the second stop member 200 to the stop surface 232 of the second stop member 200. It should be appreciated that the length of the second stop member 200 can determine the expansion position of the first wedge member 50.
In one example, when the implant is in the collapsed configuration or in an intermediate expanded configuration that is expanded from the collapsed configuration but collapsed with respect to the expanded configuration, the length of the first wedge member 48 is less than the length of the first gap 204. Accordingly, the first stop member 198 does not prevent the first wedge member 48 from moving in the direction of expansion. Further, when the implant is in the collapsed configuration or in an intermediate expanded configuration that is expanded from the collapsed configuration but collapsed with respect to the expanded configuration, the length of the second wedge member 50 is less than the length of the second gap 208. Accordingly, the second stop member 200 does not prevent the second wedge member 50 from moving in the direction of expansion. The length of the first wedge member 48 can be equal to the length of the second wedge member 50. Further, the length of the first wedge member 48 can be substantially equal to the length of the first unthreaded portion 73. Similarly, the length of the second wedge member 50 can be substantially equal to the length of the second unthreaded portion 75.
The first stop member 198 can be inserted onto the actuator shaft 54 at a first attachment region 212. The first attachment region 212 can be defined by the outer surface of the actuator shaft 54 at the first gap 204 that is defined between the first shoulder 202 and the first wedge member 48 along the longitudinal direction L when the first wedge member 48 is attached to the actuator shaft 54. Thus, the first attachment region 212 can be defined by the first unthreaded portion 73. Similarly, the second stop member 200 can be inserted onto the actuator shaft 54 at a second attachment region 214. The second attachment region 214 can be defined by the outer surface of the actuator shaft 54 at the second gap 208 that is defined between the second shoulder 206 and the second wedge member 50 along the longitudinal direction L when the second wedge member 50 is attached to the actuator shaft 54. Thus, the second attachment region 214 can be defined by the second unthreaded portion 75.

Similarly, the actuator shaft 54 can include the second shoulder 206 that extends from the second unthreaded portion 75 to the second flange 56b. The second shoulder 206 can define an outer diameter that is greater than the outer diameter of the second unthreaded portion 75. Further, the second flange 56b can have an outer diameter that is greater than the outer diameter of the second shoulder 206. Alternatively, the second flange 56b can have the same outer diameter as the outer diameter of the second shoulder 206. In this regard, it should be appreciated that the second shoulder 206 can alternatively define the second flange 56b. The second shoulder 206 can define an outer surface that is smooth or unthreaded. The outer surface of the second shoulder 206 can define the outer diameter of the second shoulder 206.

The first stop member 198 can be configured as a clip 210 that can be configured to be clipped onto the actuator shaft 54 in the manner described above. In particular, the first stop member 198 can define a body 216 having at least a portion that is radially expandable. Thus, at least a portion of the body 216 can be flexible and resilient. The body 216 can extend generally circumferentially from a first circumferential end 218 to a second circumferential end 220. The first circumferential end 218 can be spaced from the second circumferential end 220 so as to define a circumferential void 222 between the first circumferential end 218 and the second circumferential end 220. A straight linear distance from the first circumferential end 218 to the second circumferential end 220 can be less than the diameter of the actuator shaft 54 at the unthreaded portion 73 when the first stop member is in a neutral relaxed configuration. It is recognized that the term “circumferential” and derivatives thereof as used herein can connote a circular shape, but is not intended to be limited to a circular shape. Thus, the locking members 198 and 200 can be circular in cross-section, or can define any suitable alternative shape as desired while still defining circumferential ends 218 and 220.
The first stop member 198 can define an inner end 224 that is configured to face the actuator shaft 54, and an outer end 226 that is opposite the inner end 224. The inner end 224 can define at least one contact surface 228 such as a plurality of contact surfaces 228 that are configured to contact the actuator shaft 54 when the first stop member 198 is coupled to the actuator shaft 54. The contact surfaces 228 can define a radius of curvature in a plane that is oriented perpendicular to the expansion direction. The radius of curvature can be substantially equal to the radius of curvature of the outer surface of the actuation shaft at the unthreaded portion 73. Further, the contact surfaces 228 can be spaced from each other by respective recessed surfaces 231 that face the actuator shaft 54 and are spaced from the actuator shaft 54 when the first stop member 198 is coupled to the actuator shaft 54.
Referring now to
Further, the first and second wedge members 48 and 50 can be threadedly attached to the actuator shaft 54, as shown in
Next, with specific reference to
For instance, the first stop member 198 can be inserted through the window 92 of the upper endplate 44 or lower endplate 46 and attached to the actuator shaft 54 at the first attachment region 212. For instance, the first stop member 198 can be attached to the first unthreaded portion 73 of the actuator shaft 54. In particular, the circumferential void 222 can be aligned with the actuator shaft 54. Next, the first and second circumferential ends 218 and 220 of the first stop member 198 can be moved away from each other. For instance, the first and second circumferential ends 218 and 220 can be forced apart from each other as they ride over the actuator shaft 54. Because the first stop member 198 can be flexible and resilient, the first and second ends 198 and 200 can flex from the neutral or relaxed position to a second position sized to receive the actuator shaft 54 therebetween. Once the actuator shaft 54 has been received in the first stop member 198, the first and second circumferential ends 218 and 220 can be biased toward the neutral position, such that the contact surfaces 228 apply a force to the actuator shaft 54 that captures the actuator shaft 54 in the first stop member 198.
The at least one contact surface 228 can therefore apply a retention force against the actuator shaft 54 that resists sliding of the first stop member 198 along the actuator shaft 54. Alternatively, the first stop member 198 can be slidable along the actuator shaft 54, it being appreciated that the first stop member 198 will ultimately be captured between the first wedge member 48 and the first shoulder 202. As an alternative to the first locking member 198 being resilient and flexible, one or both of the first and second ends 198 and 200 can be mechanically movable between an unlocked position whereby the void 222 is sized to receive the actuator shaft 54, and a locked position whereby the actuator shaft 54 is captured in the first stop member 198. As a further alternative, the first locking member 198 can be expanded and moved along the central axis of the actuator shaft 54 to the first attachment location 212, and then can be mechanically or resiliently collapsed so as to attach to the actuator shaft 54 at the first attachment location 212. In this regard, the first locking member 198 can be configured as a fully enclosed annulus. As described above, the second stop member 200 can be attached to the actuator shaft 54 as described above with respect to the first stop member 198, but at the second attachment region 214.
Referring now to
The second shoulder 206 can define a second abutment surface 238 that slopes inwardly toward the actuator shaft 54 as it extends in the expansion direction away from the second stop member 202. The second abutment surface 238 can at least partially or entirely surround the actuator shaft 54. The second abutment surface 238 can be sloped substantially equal to the slope of the abutment surface 230 of the second stop member 200. Thus, the second abutment surface 238 can be in surface contact with the abutment surface 230 of the second stop member 200 when the intervertebral implant 20 is in the fully expanded configuration. It is recognized therefore that as a force is applied to the second stop member 200 in the expansion direction, the sloped second abutment surface 238 will urge the abutment surface 230 of the second stop member 200 against the actuator shaft 54, thereby securing the second stop member 200 against the actuator shaft 54. In particular, the second stop member 200 is captured between the first abutment surface 236 and the actuator shaft 54.
With continuing reference to
The stop surface 232 of the second stop member 200 can be sloped inwardly toward the actuator shaft 54 as it extends in a direction opposite the expansion direction, and thus toward the second wedge member 50. The second wedge member 50 can define a second wedge surface 242 that faces the second stop member 200. The second wedge surface 242 can slope inwardly toward the actuator shaft 54 as it extends in the direction opposite the expansion direction, and thus away from the second stop member 200. The second wedge surface 242 can at least partially or entirely surround the actuator shaft 54. Further, the second wedge surface 242 can be defined by the second wall 71, and can define an opening to the second bore 72 of the second wedge member 50. The second wedge surface 242 can be sloped substantially equal to the slope of the stop surface 232 of the second stop member 200. Thus, the second wedge surface 242 can be in surface contact with the stop surface 232 of the second stop member 200 when the intervertebral implant is in the fully expanded configuration. It is recognized therefore that as the second wedge member 500 applies the force to the second stop member 200 in the expansion direction, the sloped second wedge surface 242 will urge the stop surface 232 of the second stop member 200 against the actuator shaft 54, thereby securing the second stop member 200 against the actuator shaft 54. In particular, the second stop member 200 is captured between the second wedge surface 242 and the actuator shaft 54.
Referring again to
It should be appreciated that abutment between either one of the first and second stop members 198 and 200 and the associated one of the first and second wedge members 48 and 50 can prevent the one of the first and second stop members 198 and 200 from moving in the expansion direction. Further, because each of the first and second stop members 198 and 200 are threadedly coupled to the same actuator shaft, prevention of one of the first and second stop members 198 and 200 from moving in the expansion direction similarly prevents each of the first and second stop members 198 and 200 from moving in the expansion direction. Thus, the expansion limiter 129 can include at least one stop member, which can include one or both of the first and second stop members 198 and 200.
The first and second stop members 198 and 200 can abut the first and second shoulders 202 and 206, respectively, when the first and second wedge members 48 and 50 are in the collapsed position. For instance, the first and second stop members 198 and 200 can be attached to the actuator shaft 54 such that they abut the first and second shoulders 202 and 206, respectively. Thus, when the first and second wedge members 48 and 50 first abut the first and second stop members 198 and 200, respectively, when the first and second wedge members 48 and 50 are in the expansion position. Alternatively, the first and second stop members 198 and 200 can be spaced from the first and second shoulders 202 and 206, respectively, when the first and second wedge members 48 and 50 are in the collapsed position. For instance, the first and second stop members 198 and 200 can be attached to the actuator shaft 54 such that they are spaced from the first and second shoulders 202 and 206 along the collapse direction. Thus, as the first and second wedge members 48 and 50 move in the expansion direction, the first and second wedge members 48 and 50 can abut the first and second stop members 198 and 200, respectively, and urge the first and second stop members 198 and 200 to move in the expansion direction until they abut the first and second shoulders 202 and 206, respectively.
While the first stop member 198 can be attachable to the actuator shaft 54 in one example, the first stop member 198 can alternatively be monolithic with the actuator shaft 54 in another example. Similarly, while the second stop member 200 can be attachable to the actuator shaft 54 in one example, the second stop member 200 can alternatively be monolithic with the actuator shaft 54 in another example. If the first and second stop members 198 and 200 are monolithic with the actuator shaft, then abutment between the first and second wedge members 48 and 50 with the first and second stop members 198 and 200 can prevent further movement of the first and second wedge members 48 and 50 in the expansion direction regardless of whether the first and second stop members 198 and 200 abut the shoulders 202 and 206, respectively. Alternatively still, the first and second stop members 198 and 200 can be attached to the actuator shaft 54 such that the first and second stop members 198 and 200 fixed with respect to movement along the actuator shaft 54 in the expansion direction. Thus, abutment between the first and second wedge members 48 and 50 with the first and second stop members 198 and 200 can prevent further movement of the first and second wedge members 48 and 50 in the expansion direction regardless of whether the first and second stop members 198 and 200 abut the shoulders 202 and 206, respectively.
