- US Published Patent Application 2008-0167666 (“Fiere”) discloses equipment including at least one U-shaped clip whose lateral branches have sections and widths such that they may be inserted in the vertebral bodies of two vertebrae by impaction on the intermediate branch of the clip, so as to rest along the cortical bones of the vertebral bodies, and whose intermediate branch is deformable in such a way as to allow a reduction of the distance between the lateral branches;
- the intermediate branch before implantation, has a length such that one of the lateral branches may be positioned slightly above the cortical bone forming the plate of the subjacent vertebra while the other lateral branch may be positioned slightly below the cortical bone forming the plate of the subjacent vertebra, and has, after deformation, a length such that the two lateral branches may be brought closer to each other.

- an angled fixation device such as an angled screw.
- This angled fixation device may be used by the surgeon to secure a spacer to a spinal disc space.
- the proximal end portion of the angled fixation device is driven perpendicular to the anterior wall of the spacer, and so is parallel to the vertebral endplates and in-line with the inserter.
- the distal end portion of the angled fixation device is oriented at about a 45 degree angle (plus or minus 30 degrees) to the vertebral endplate it enters.
- the surgeon advances the drive mechanism perpendicular to the anterior wall of the spacer (and parallel to the endplates) to force the angled fixation device to take an angled trajectory into the adjacent vertebral body.
- the in-line insertion of the angled fixation device allows for a smaller incision and access site for the spacer and angled fixation device, and also allows the surgeon to avoid having to insert the fixation device with the inserter disposed at a sharp angle.
- This essentially in-line approach can be especially advantageous for the cervical spine, as it allows the surgeon to avoid the patient's chin or sternum.

- FIG. 16 presents another embodiment of a plate 830 having a sidewall 831 equipped with a “living spring” 833 .
- the opposing sidewall 835 of the plate has a chamfer feature 837 that mates with a chamfered surface on a grabber instrument.
- the device is typically installed with the plate in its unbiased position.
- opposed jaws 841 of a grabber instrument Prior to inserting screws into the cage, opposed jaws 841 of a grabber instrument are placed about the device to contact the chamfered surface 837 of the plate and a sidewall 834 of the cage. The grabber instrument is then actuated so that its jaws 841 are compressed so as to compress the spring 833 .
- the living spring is replaced with a stand-alone compression spring or leaf spring.
- the plate may be altered so as to eliminate the need for the grabber instrument discussed above.
- the through-holes 851 of the plate are provided with unilateral chamfers 853 that mate with the distal tip 855 of the screw being inserted.
- spring 861 compress and plate 857 to slide laterally, and thereby align the holes of the plate with the holes 859 of the cage.
- the living spring component 861 of the plate expands so as to cause mis-alignment of the holes, thereby preventing screw back-out.
- the plate further comprises first and second sidewalls, wherein the first sidewall comprises a living spring.
- the second sidewall of the plate comprises a feature (preferably, a chamfer) for mating with a grabber instrument.
- the holes of the plate comprise chamfers adapted to mate with the distal tip of the screw.
- Prior art references related to a fixation cage with a secondary washer include: US Patent Publication 2010-0057206; US Patent Publication 2009-0088849; US Patent Publication 2010-0145459; U.S. Pat. No. 6,730,127; U.S. Pat. No. 7,662,182;U.S. Pat. No. 6,972,019; US Patent Publication 2008-0249569; US Patent Publication 2009-0105831; U.S. Pat. No. 7,306,605; U.S. Pat. No. 7,288,094; US Patent Publication 2010-0312345; US Patent Publication 2010-0286777; U.S. Pat. No. 6,945,973; US Patent Publication 2010-0106249; U.S. Pat. No.
- Conventional fixation cages have several means for capturing angled bone-engaging screws and ensuring that those screws do not back out.
- Conventional anti-backout mechanisms include assembled rotating cover plates, cams, bushings, expanding screws, and set screws.
- One particular anti-backout means is a secondary cover plate that either snaps onto the cage itself or is docked to the cage and secured to the cage faceplate using additional hardware, such as a screw. This secondary cover plate can fully or partially cover the most proximal portion of the screw head and could in theory prevent any screw backout.
- FIGS. 5C-E describe some embodiments utilizing a particular anti-backout mechanism in which the proximal end portion of the screwthread has a parallel sidewall.
- the ring is replaced by a stand-alone washer positioned anterior to the screw hole.
- the device may further comprise a secondary washer.
- the purpose of the secondary washer is to further resist screw backout.
- the secondary washer may preferably be loosely attached to the proximal shaft of a final fixation screw.
- the screw-washer combination is the last item added to the cage construct to complete the device assembly.
- the washer is designed to float in a predetermined zone of the fixation screw distal of the screw head, and ideally would be removed only with special equipment.
- an intervertebral device for insertion into a disc space defined by opposing vertebral endplates, comprising:
- an intervertebral spacer 900 comprising:
- the washer is designed to seat on the anterior (proximal) face of the anterior wall of the cage, against the region of the wall surrounding the corresponding screw-hole. It may be held in place by a snap clip feature 951 and corresponding recess 953 residing on the upper or lower face of the cage (shown in FIGS. 20 and 21 ).
- the washer further comprises design features that abut corresponding features in the cage to ensure proper positioning upon final seating.
- the periphery of the washer has a contour 961 that matches and seats in a recess in the anterior portion of the cage.
- the design features may resist washer rotation.
- the distal face of the washer has at least one projection 963 that matches and seats in a corresponding recess in the anterior face of the cage.
- the proximal or distal face of the washer has at least one projection 965 that serves to interrupt screw backout.
- the washer comprises screw engagement features. Upon the fixation screw's final rotation, the screw will pass through the aperture in the washer at an angled trajectory. Features of the washer surrounding the aperture could engage features of the screw in its final degrees of rotation so as to prevent easy counter-clockwise removal of the screw.
- the head comprises at least one flange (i.e., the washer) extending therefrom, the flange having a proximal face and a distal face.
