INTERSPINOUS PROCESS IMPLANT INCLUDING A BINDER AND METHOD OF IMPLANTATION

摘要

Systems in accordance with embodiments of the present application can include an implant comprising a spacer (102) for defining a minimum space between adjacent spinous processes, a distraction guide (106) for piercing and distracting an interspinous ligament during implantation, and a binder (330) for limiting or preventing flexion motion of the targeted motion segment. The binder can be secured to a brace associated with the implant during implantation by a capture device (1420). A binder aligner (1770) aligns the binder with the implant stabilizing the implant, binder and the adjacent vertebrae.
