Abstract:
A simple yet effective adjustable laminoplasty implant and procedure includes a member positioned within or through a hole formed through a spinous process, and an elongated element is provided with a medial end coupled to the member and a lateral end configured for engagement with a bone mass fixation device. The elongated element may be a bent rod. The rod may have a medial end with a cross-section that is smaller than that of the lateral end. The member positioned within or through a hole formed through a spinous process may be a sleeve with angled endcaps. The endcaps may include bone-engaging teeth. Alternatively, the sleeve may have a central bore and barbs that engage with surrounding bone when an elongated member is inserted in the bore. The mass fixation device may a pedicle screw. The pedicle screw may be configured to receive a transverse rod.
