Abstract

A self-drilling bone fusion screw apparatus is disclosed which includes at least first and second sliding boxes. A first screw member having a tapered end and a threaded body is disposed within the first sliding box, and a second screw member having a tapered end and a threaded body disposed within the second sliding box. An adjuster adjusts the height of the sliding boxes. The screw members are screwed into vertebral bodies in order to fuse the vertebral bodies together. A plurality of the self-drilling bone fusion screw apparatuses may be attached together and/or integrated via a plate or cage. Also disclosed is a cervical facet staple that includes a curved staple base and at least two prongs attached to the bottom surface of the curved staple base.

2 . The tool assembly of claim 1 , wherein each of the first and second side surfaces of the spinal spacer implant further defines first and second flat surfaces in the first and second prong-receiving indentations and wherein the first and second side surfaces define widest-most surfaces on first and second sides of the spinal spacer implant.

3 . The tool assembly of claim 1 , wherein each of the first and second side surfaces of the spinal spacer implant further defines first and second holes positioned proximate to the first and second prong-receiving indentations, respectively, and wherein the first and second holes extend further into the spinal spacer implant than do the first and second prong-receiving indentations.

4 . The tool assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first side surface is positioned opposite of the second side surface, wherein the first and second prong-receiving indentations each have a portion that is substantially rectangular, wherein the first side surface defines a first flat surface, wherein the second side surface defines a second flat surface opposite of and parallel to the first flat surface.

5 . The tool assembly of claim 1 , wherein the prongs are configured to engage the first and second prong-receiving indentations when the spinal spacer implant is fully expanded and when the spinal spacer implant is fully retracted.

6 . The tool assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first and second side surfaces are substantially perpendicular to the first and second surfaces of the first and second expandable portions when the spinal spacer implant is expanded.

7 . A tool assembly comprising:

a spinal spacer implant configured for implantation in a patient's spine, the spinal spacer implant comprising:

a first expandable portion, the first expandable portion comprising a first surface for contacting a first bone surface of the patient's spine; and

a second expandable portion, the second expandable portion comprising a second surface for contacting a second bone surface of the patient's spine;

wherein the spinal spacer implant is configured to be expanded from a closed configuration to an expanded configuration by movement of the first expandable portion and the second expandable portion relative to one another, and wherein the first surface and the second surface are configured to contact the first bone surface and the second bone surface of the patient's spine, respectively, when the spinal spacer implant is in the expanded configuration; and

an insertion tool configured for manipulating and inserting the spinal spacer implant into the patient's spine, the insertion tool comprising:

a first tool body having a first end and a second end, the first tool body defining a lumen between the first end and the second end, the second end comprising prongs configured to engage the spinal spacer implant; and

a second tool body having a third end and a fourth end, a diameter of the second tool body being smaller than an inner diameter of the lumen of the first tool body such that the second tool body is sized to be inserted through the first tool body so that the third end of the second tool body extends beyond the first end of the first tool body and the fourth end of the second tool body is configured to engage the spinal spacer implant, wherein the fourth end of the second tool body is configured to expand the spinal spacer implant in response to rotating the second end of the second tool body, the first expandable portion comprising an angled rail and the second expandable portion comprising an angled ramp, the angled rail configured to slidably engage the angled ramp, and the second tool body is configured to expand the spinal spacer implant by sliding the angled rail along the angled ramp by a rotation of the fourth end of the second tool body,

wherein the first bone surface comprises a first location in the patient's spine and the second bone surface comprises a second location in the patient's spine, the second location being different from the first location, wherein the second tool body is configured to move the first expandable portion and the second expandable portion concurrently by rotating the fourth end of the second tool body, and the first expandable portion of the spinal spacer implant is configured to engage the first location of the patient's spine and the second expandable portion is configured to engage the second location of the patient's spine concurrently when the spinal spacer implant is in the expanded configuration, wherein the first expandable portion and the second expandable portion are positioned opposite one another, and wherein first and second side surfaces each extend from the first surface to the second surface, and wherein the first location of the patient's spine is a first vertebral surface and the second location of the patient's spine is a second vertebral surface.

8 . A method of using the tool assembly of claim 1 , the method comprising:

engaging the prongs with the first and second prong-receiving indentations of the spinal spacer implant using a handle positioned at the first end of the first tool body;

engaging the spinal spacer implant with the second end of the second tool body;

expanding the spinal spacer implant to fit a space in the patient's spine by turning the first end of the second tool body within the lumen of the first tool body; and

removing the first and second tool bodies from the patient's spine while leaving the spinal spacer implant in place.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the spinal spacer implant is inserted into the patient's spine in a first compressed state and expanding the spinal spacer implant to fit the space in the patient's spine comprises expanding the spinal spacer implant after insertion to engage two bone surfaces of the patient's spine while the prongs are configured to remain engaged with the first and second prong-receiving indentations when the spinal spacer implant is fully expanded.

10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein expanding the spinal spacer implant comprises rotating the fourth end of the second tool body to slide the first expandable portion relative to the second expandable portion until the first surface and the second surface are in contact with the first and second bone surfaces of the patient's spine, respectively.

11 . The method of claim 9 , wherein rotating the fourth end of the second tool body is configured to turn a drive screw of the spinal spacer implant to slide the first expandable portion relative to the second expandable portion.

12 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising fixing the spinal spacer implant in the patient's spine with one or more screws.
