Abstract:
The disclosure relates to devices and methods for implantation of an orthopedic device between skeletal segments using limited surgical dissection. The implanted devices are used to adjust and maintain the spatial relationship(s) of adjacent bones. Depending on the implant design, the motion between the skeletal segments may be increased, limited, modified, or completely immobilized.

Claim (Index 33):
Apparatus for positioning an orthopedic implant at a target location of a skeletal system, the apparatus comprising:\n the orthopedic implant; and a non-implantable implant holder configured to advance the orthopedic implant to the target location within the skeletal system, the non-implantable implant holder comprising:\n an elongated member that extends from a proximal segment to a distal segment along a curvilinear axis, the elongated member comprising at least a convex side surface and a concave side surface, the concave side surface opposing the convex side surface; \n handle apparatus extending outward from the convex side surface at the proximal segment; \n a coupler disposed at the distal segment, the coupler configured to couple with the orthopedic implant; and \n a locking feature disposed at the proximal segment, the locking feature configured to reversibly transition from a first configuration to a second configuration.
