Abstract:
Anterior spinal implant devices for reducing spinal malalignment and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. A spinal implant system configured in accordance with embodiments of the present technology can include, for example, a first vertebral support implanted at an anterior region of a first vertebra of a patient, a second vertebral support implanted at an anterior region of a second vertebra inferior to the first vertebra, and an alignment system configured to be releasably coupled to the first and second vertebral supports. The first and second vertebral supports can extend into and interlock with each other within an interbody space between the first and second vertebrae when the first and second vertebral supports are aligned. The alignment system is configured to reduce angular, vertical, and linear malalignment of the first and second vertebrae relative to each other.

Claim (Index 1):
A spinal implant system for repositioning a first vertebra relative to a second vertebra in patients with spinal malalignment, the system comprising:\n a first vertebral support having a first anterior portion configured to be affixed to an anterior region of the first vertebra of a patient, the first vertebral support having a first intervertebral portion that extends within a space between the first vertebra and the second vertebra when the first anterior portion is affixed to the anterior region; a first engagement feature on the first intervertebral portion; a second vertebral support having a second anterior portion configured to be affixed to an anterior region of the second vertebra, the second vertebral support having a second intervertebral portion that extends within the space when the second anterior portion is affixed to the anterior region; a second engagement feature on the second intervertebral portion; wherein the first and second engagement features that are configured to interlock with each other when the first and second vertebral supports are aligned; and an alignment system configured to operably couple to the first vertebral support and to the second vertebral support to adjust angular, vertical, and linear posterior alignment of the first and second vertebral support relative to each other when affixed to the first and second vertebrae, the alignment system comprising; a first attachment component configured to releasably attach to the first vertebral support; a second attachment component configured to releasably attach to the second vertebral support; and a distraction assembly configured to be operably coupled to the first attachment component and to the second attachment component, wherein the distraction assembly is configured to vertically displace the first vertebral support relative to the second vertebral support when coupled to the first and second vertebrae.
