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 13):
A modular spinal implant system for patients with spinal malalignment, the system comprising:\n a first vertebral support having a first anterior portion configured to be attached to an anterior region of a first vertebra of a patient, a first intervertebral portion configured to extend in a posterior direction from the first anterior portion when attached to the anterior region, and a first engagement feature at the first intervertebral portion; a second vertebral support having a second anterior portion configured to be attached to an anterior region of a second vertebra of the patient adjacent to the first vertebra, a second intervertebral portion configured to extend in a posterior direction from the second anterior portion when attached to the anterior region, and a second engagement feature at the second intervertebral portion, wherein the first and second engagement features are configured to interlock with each other within an interbody space between the first and second vertebrae when the first and second vertebral supports are aligned; and a reinforcement plate configured to connect to the first and second anterior portions to affix the first and second vertebral supports together.
