Patent ID: 11883300

Abstract:
An orthopedic implant system is disclosed comprising a staple and a coupling device configured to position tines on the staple relative to a bone to secure an orthopedic implant device to the bone. The orthopedic implant system may comprise the orthopedic implant device also having a wedge and a plate having an external surface configuration. The coupling device may couple the wedge, the plate and the staple whereby when the orthopedic implant is secured in a vertebral body, the external surface configuration of the plate alters the relative orientation of a superior endplate surface plane and an inferior endplate surface plane of the vertebral body and alters the alignment of the spine. In some embodiments, plate tines and staple tines are configured to engage the vertebral body. In some embodiments, the implant device may be used as an arthrodesis device, an intravertebral device or an intervertebral implant device.
