Abstract

Various embodiments of bone ties, bone tie inserters, and methods for treating the spine are provided. The bone tie can include a proximal end and a distal end. The bone tie can include a head section comprising a rounded head. The bone tie can include a neck section extending proximally from the head section. A bone tie inserter for placing a bone tie can also be provided. The bone tie inserter can include a bone tie advancer with a curved surface configured to guide a rounded head of a bone tie. The bone tie inserter can include a bone tie retriever configured to receive the rounded head of a bone tie. The bone tie is configured to pivot and/or rotate within the retriever portion of the bone tie inserter. The method can include forming a lumen in a first bone portion and a second bone portion. The bone tie can be configured to pivot and/or rotate as the bone tie retriever is withdrawn.

Claims (42)

1 . A bone tie system comprising:

a bone tie advancer comprising:

a bone tie advancer shaft; and

an advancer portion configured to guide a rounded head of a bone tie;

a bone tie retriever comprising:

a bone tie retriever shaft comprising a longitudinal axis extending from a proximal end of the bone tie retriever shaft to a distal end of the bone tie retriever shaft;

a retriever portion configured to receive the rounded head of the bone tie, wherein the rounded head of the bone tie is configured to pivot and/or rotate within the retriever portion; and

a catcher mechanism configured to facilitate retention of the rounded head of the bone tie within the retriever portion, wherein the catcher mechanism is configured to be actuated by sliding a catch distally toward a distal end of the bone tie retriever shaft, wherein the catch is configured to slide with a pin and groove arrangement.

2 . The bone tie system of claim 1 , further comprising the bone tie.

3 . The bone tie system of claim 1 , wherein the bone tie retriever comprises a lumen coaxial with a longitudinal axis of the bone tie retriever.

4 . The bone tie system of claim 1 , wherein the bone tie retriever comprises a lateral opening extending along a portion of the circumference of the retriever portion.

5 . The bone tie system of claim 4 , wherein the catch is configured to slide within the lateral opening.

6 . The bone tie system of claim 1 , wherein the catch comprises a curved end.

7 . The bone tie system of claim 1 , wherein the catch is configured to slide linearly.

8 . A bone tie system comprising:

a bone tie comprising a rounded head;

a bone tie retriever comprising:

a shaft comprising a longitudinal axis extending from a proximal end of the bone tie retriever shaft to a distal end of the bone tie retriever shaft;

a retriever portion configured to receive the rounded head of the bone tie, wherein the rounded head of the bone tie is configured to slide distally, pivot and/or rotate within the retriever portion; and

a catcher mechanism configured to facilitate retention of the rounded head of the bone tie within the retriever portion, wherein the catcher mechanism is configured to be actuated by sliding a catch distally toward a distal end of the bone tie retriever shaft,

wherein the bone tie retriever comprises a central lumen extending along the longitudinal axis of the bone tie retriever, wherein the catcher mechanism comprises an alignment block configured to slide within the central lumen.

9 . The bone tie system of claim 8 , wherein the bone tie retriever comprises a lateral opening shaped to allow entry of the rounded head of the bone tie.

10 . The bone tie system of claim 9 , wherein the catch is configured to slide within the lateral opening.

11 . The bone tie system of claim 8 , wherein the bone tie comprises a fastener section configured to be secured to another section of the bone tie.

12 . The bone tie system of claim 8 , wherein the bone tie comprises a fastener section configured to allow the bone tie to be secured in a single direction of travel.

13 . The bone tie system of claim 8 , wherein the catch is configured to slide linearly.

14 . The bone tie system of claim 8 , wherein the catch comprises a curved end.

15 . A bone tie system comprising:

a bone tie comprising a rounded head;

a bone tie retriever comprising:

a shaft comprising a longitudinal axis extending from a proximal end of the bone tie retriever shaft to a distal end of the bone tie retriever shaft;

a retriever portion configured to receive the rounded head of the bone tie, wherein the rounded head of the bone tie is configured to slide distally, pivot and/or rotate within the retriever portion; and

a catcher mechanism configured to facilitate retention of the rounded head of the bone tie within the retriever portion, wherein the catcher mechanism is configured to be actuated by sliding a catch distally toward a distal end of the bone tie retriever shaft, wherein the catch is configured to slide as a pin slides along a groove.

16 . The bone tie system of claim 15 , wherein the bone tie retriever comprises a lateral opening shaped to allow entry of the rounded head of the bone tie.

17 . The bone tie system of claim 16 , wherein the catch is configured to slide within the lateral opening.

18 . A bone tie system comprising:

a bone tie retriever comprising:

a shaft comprising a longitudinal axis extending from a proximal end of the bone tie retriever shaft to a distal end of the bone tie retriever shaft;

a retriever portion configured to receive a rounded head of a bone tie, wherein the rounded head of the bone tie is configured to pivot and/or rotate within the retriever portion; and

a catcher mechanism configured to facilitate retention of the rounded head of the bone tie within the retriever portion, wherein the catcher mechanism is configured to be actuated by sliding a catch distally toward a distal end of the bone tie retriever shaft, wherein a pin slides within a groove as the catch slides.

19 . The bone tie system of claim 18 , wherein the catch is configured to slide along a linear path.

20 . The bone tie system of claim 18 , further comprising the bone tie.
