Abstract
A method for replacing a spinal disc between first and second vertebrae including determining a reference point on the spinal column. A marker is connected to a vertebrae at a reference point. The marker is engaged with a guide assembly for guiding insertion of a surgical instrument between the first and second vertebrae. The apparatus is inserted between the first and second vertebrae. An outer surface of the apparatus is engageable with the first vertebrae and a rail extending from the outer surface is engageable with the first vertebrae to connect the apparatus to the first vertebrae. First and second projections extend from the outer surface and each projection is engageable with the first vertebrae to connect the apparatus to the first vertebrae. The first projection extends from the outer surface a first distance. The second projection extends from the outer surface a second distance greater than the first distance.
Claims (75)
1. A method for replacing a spinal disc between first and second vertebrae of a spinal column comprising:
determining a reference point on the spinal column;
connecting a marker to a vertebra of the spinal column at the reference point;
engaging the marker with a guide assembly for guiding insertion of a surgical instrument between the first and second vertebrae to prepare the space between the first and second vertebrae for receiving an apparatus between the first and second vertebrae; and inserting the apparatus between the first and second vertebrae.
determining a reference point on the spinal column;
connecting a marker to a vertebra of the spinal column at the reference point;
engaging the marker with a guide assembly for guiding insertion of a surgical instrument between the first and second vertebrae to prepare the space between the first and second vertebrae for receiving an apparatus between the first and second vertebrae; and inserting the apparatus between the first and second vertebrae.
2. A method as set forth in claim 1 including determining a midline of the spinal column.
3. A method as set forth in claim 2 including inserting the marker into a vertebra of the spinal column at the midline of the spinal column.
4. A method as set forth in claim 1 including inserting a spacer between the first and second vertebrae to determine the reference point.
5. A method as set forth in claim 4 including telescoping a first portion of the guide assembly over a rod extending from the spacer inserted between the first and second vertebrae.
6. A method as set forth in claim 5 including extending the marker parallel to the rod extending from the spacer.
7. A method as set forth in claim 6 including telescoping a second portion of the guide assembly over the marker.
8. A method as set forth in claim 1 including providing the marker with a plurality of shafts that engage the vertebra.
9. A method as set forth in claim 8 including providing the marker with three shafts that engage the vertebra.
10. A method as set forth in claim 1 including moving a second portion of the guide assembly in a direction extending transverse to a longitudinal axis of the first portion of the guide assembly.
11. A method as set forth in claim 10 including moving the second portion in a direction extending transverse to an axis of the first portion of the guide assembly.
12. A method as set forth in claim 1 including inserting a cutter between the first and second vertebrae to cut the first and second vertebrae.
13. A method as set forth in claim 12 including guiding insertion of the cutter between the first and second vertebrae with the guide assembly.
14. A method as set forth in claim 1 including inserting an artificial disc between the first and second vertebrae.
