Bone plate systems and methods for implanting. A bone plate system includes a bone plate having a first surface, a second, bone contacting surface opposed to the first surface, and at least one aperture extending through the first and second surfaces. The system includes a bone screw having a threaded shank along a distal end portion thereof, the threaded shank configured to pass through the aperture. A dynamic member is configured to fit between portions of the screw and the bone plate and allow movement of the dynamic member and the screw relative to the bone plate in a first direction, while preventing movement of the dynamic member relative to the bone plate in a direction opposite to the first direction.

An intervertebral disc prosthesis for installation in, a spinal column includes a first intervertebral plate for engaging one or both of the inferior vertebral endplate and the inferior ring apophysis of a superior vertebral body. A second intervertebral plate for engages one or both of the superior vertebral endplate and the superior ring apophysis of an inferior vertebral body. A removable insert core is located between and engages the intervertebral plates. A projection projects from one of the intervertebral plates toward the other intervertebral plate. The removable insert core at least partially surrounds the projection when installed. The removable insert core is removable from between the intervertebral plates and from around the projection while the intervertebral plates and projection remain installed.

Devices and methods for treating spinal disorders and associated discomfort therefrom. In one embodiment, an interspinous implant device is configured for distracting an adjacent pair of spinous processes while permitting relative flexion, lateral bending and side rotation motions between the vertebrae joined to the adjacent pair of spinous processes. A method of treating spinal disorders and associated discomfort therefrom, includes inserting an interspinous device between a pair of adjacent spinous processes such that a superior portion of the device contacts an inferior surface of the relatively superior spinous process of the pair, and an inferior portion of the of the device contacts a superior surface of the relatively inferior spinous process of the pair; and distracting the superior and inferior portions, relative to one another, thereby distracting the spinous processes, whereby vertebrae integral with the spinous processes retain capability of flexion, lateral bending and side rotation motions, relative to one another, after the distraction has been performed.

An orthopedic screw having a thread with two parts, a distal and a proximal part, each having a different thread configuration. The distal section has a thread with outer dimension and pitch suitable for entry into cancellous bone, while the proximal section has a composite thread comprising (i) a first thread of the same or slightly larger outer diameter as the cancellous thread in the distal section, having the same pitch thereof, and lying on the same helix, and (ii) another thread having a smaller outer diameter but the same pitch as the first thread, but disposed on a helix displaced from that of the first thread, such that it lies between the crests of the first thread. This screw enables optimum fixation strength in a bone or bones having a harder cortical outer section and a softer cancellous inner section. The screw may have an unthreaded central section.

The present invention relates to a medical device for performing surgery in the body using a percutaneous dilatational procedure, one embodiment of which is a percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) device having a dilator with a non-uniform surface profile that is optimized to the relevant anatomy in order to reduce, uniformly distribute, and ensure uniform, or constant temporal derivative of, dilatational force throughout dilation. This serves to reduce trauma to the patient, specifically producing a reduction of anterior tracheal wall compression, posterior wall laceration/perforation, and tracheal ring fracture that may subsequently lead to subglottic suprastomal stenosis.
