Systems and Methods for Performing Spinal Surgery

摘要

A system and method for percutaneous loop kyphoplasty is described. An apparatus for the treatment of a targeted vertebral bone fracture includes a first trocar having a first lumen, a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the distal end of the first trocar is configured for surgical insertion into a vertebral body at a first location, a second trocar having a second lumen, a proximal and a distal end, wherein the distal end of the second trocar is configured for surgical insertion into the vertebral body at a second location, a wire tool that is slidable within the first trocar, a grasper tool that is slidable within the second trocar and is configured to temporarily couple to the wire tool within the vertebral body, and a non-deployable balloon that is advanced through the first or second trocar into the vertebral body to facilitate expansion within the vertebral body.

1. An apparatus for the treatment of a targeted vertebral bone fracture, the apparatus comprising:
a first trocar having a first lumen, a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the distal end of the first trocar is configured for surgical insertion into a vertebral body at a first location; a second trocar having a second lumen, a proximal and a distal end, wherein the distal end of the second trocar is configured for surgical insertion into the vertebral body at a second location; a wire tool that is slidable within the first lumen; a grasper tool that is slidable within the second lumen and is configured to temporarily couple to the wire tool within the vertebral body; and a balloon coupled to the wire tool and configured to enter the first lumen, traverse the vertebral body, and exit the second lumen to facilitate expansion within the vertebral body.
