Abstract

The present invention relates generally to systems and methods for aligning and implanting orthopedic fixation or stabilization implants within the body. In one embodiment, the system includes at least two bone anchors, at least one of which is provided with a transverse portal and a locking member. In one aspect, the system also includes at least one linkage rod, for linking two or more bone anchors through their respective locking members. The linking rod may include at least one angularly adjustable joint, which may be fixed by actuating the locking member. The bone anchors and the linkage rod may be locked into place to form a spinal fusion or fixation prosthesis.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS
[received by the International Bureau on 10 June 2005 (10.06.2005): original claims 7 to 23 have been amended].
7. The method claimed in claim 1 , wherein the diamond coating is formed on the substrate at 125°C-150°C.
8. The method claimed in claim 6, wherein the diamond coating is formed on the substrate at 125°C-150°C within 30-60 minutes.
9. An apparatus for depositing diamond coating on a substrate, comprising: a) a sealed chamber including graphite, hydrogen, and the substrate onto which the diamond coating is to be deposited; b) a high-melting met. vire, wrapped around the graphite rod, in order to promote chemical reactions needed for diamond deposition; and c) a means for adjusting spacing between the graphite rod and the substrate.
10. The apparatus claimed in claim 9, wherein the sealed chamber maintains inside pressure below 1 atmosphere.
11. The apparatus claimed in claim 9, wherein the temperature of the substrate is variable according to the spacing between the graphite rod and the substrate.
12. The apparatus claimed in claim 9, wherein placement of the substrate relative to the graphite rod is determinative to the substrate having the desired constant temperature.
13. The apparatus claimed in claim 9, wherein the substrate is perpendicular to the graphite rod. 14. The apparatus claimed in claim 9, wherein the substrate is parallel to the graphite rod.
37
15. The apparatus claimed in claim 9, wherein the diamond coating is deposited on the substrate at 125°C-150°C.
16. The apparatus claimed in claim 9, wherein the diamond coating is formed on the substrate at 125°C-150°C within 30-60 minutes.
17. The apparatus claimed in claim 9, wherein the spacing between the substrate and the graphite rod is between 1mm and 30cm. 18. The apparatus claimed in claim 9, wherein the high-melting metal wire is selected from the group consisting of platinum or nickel.
