Zusammenfassung: | A spinal implant is disclosed extending along a longitudinal axis between a proximal region and a distal region. The spinal implant comprises an upper body for engaging an upper vertebral body, a lower body for engaging a lower vertebral body, and a proximal adjustment assembly disposed between the upper and lower bodies and adjustably coupled thereto. The proximal adjustment assembly including a proximal translatable member and a proximal rotational actuator and is actuated by driving threaded advancement of the proximal rotational actuator to translate the proximal translatable member along the longitudinal axis. The spinal implant also includes a distal adjustment assembly including a distal translatable member and a distal rotational actuator. The distal adjustment assembly is actuated by driving threaded advancement of the distal rotational actuator to translate the distal translatable member along a distal slot of the spinal implant. 10100IQ 0b15 4°N112 1152 100 1100a 154a5 111 151 132 130 1 2 1 9 FIG. 4A FIG.4B 15210 151 110 190 g 188a 15 100a 2 30 1 l00b 110 176 178 4Eoo 110 18d FIG. 4D FIG. 4E |
