Abstract:
Assemblies of one or more implant structures make possible the achievement of diverse interventions involving the fusion and/or stabilization of the SI-joint and/or lumbar and sacral vertebra in a non-invasive manner, with minimal incision, and without the necessitating the removing the intervertebral disc. The representative lumbar spine interventions, which can be performed on adults or children, include, but are not limited to, SI-joint fusion or fixation; lumbar interbody fusion; translaminar lumbar fusion; lumbar facet fusion; trans-iliac lumbar fusion; and the stabilization of a spondylolisthesis.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for trans-iliac lumbar fusion, the method comprising:\n creating an insertion path entering from a posterior region of the iliac spine of the ilium, angling in a cranial direction through the SI-Joint into and through the sacral vertebra S1, and terminating in an opposite anterolateral region of a lumbar vertebra L5; providing a bone fixation implant; and inserting the bone fixation implant through the insertion path from a posterior region of the iliac spine of the ilium, angling in a cranial direction through the SI-Joint into and through the sacral vertebra S1, and terminating in an opposite anterolateral region of a lumbar vertebra L5.
