Abstract:
An adjustable spinal implant includes a fixed segment that slidably supports a locking segment and pivotally supports an upper segment and a lower segment relative to one another. The locking segment translates within a channel defined by the fixed segment between locked and unlocked positions. In the locked position, the upper and lower segments are fixed relative to one another and to the fixed segment. In the unlocked position, the upper and lower segments are pivotal relative to one another and to the fixed segment. The adjustable spinal implant includes a locking mechanism including a locking screw to translate the locking segment between locked and unlocked positions.

Claim (Index 1):
An adjustable spinal implant comprising:\n a fixed segment defining a channel disposed about a longitudinal axis of the spinal implant; a locking segment translatable within the channel of the fixed segment along the longitudinal axis between a locked position and an unlocked position, the locking segment defining a proximal opening passing vertically therethrough, the locking segment having a distal end portion including locking teeth; a lower segment pivotally coupled to the fixed segment about a pivot axis that is transverse to the longitudinal axis, the lower segment having a distal end portion including teeth that oppose the locking teeth; an upper segment pivotally coupled to the fixed segment about the pivot axis, the upper segment having a distal end portion including teeth that oppose the locking teeth, the adjustable spinal implant having a collapsed configuration wherein the distal end portions of the lower and upper segments define a first height and an expanded configuration wherein the distal end portions of the lower and upper segments define a second height greater than the first height; and a locking mechanism engageable with the locking segment to translate the locking segment longitudinally between locked and unlocked positions to fix the lower and upper segments relative to the fixed segment.
