[1] 1. The present invention relates to a surgical screw system for use with implantation rods, and related methods of using a surgical screw system with implantation rods.
[2] 2. The bones and connective tissue of an adult human spinal column consists of more than 20 discrete bones coupled sequentially to one another by a tri-joint complex. The complex consists of an anterior disc and two posterior facet joints. The anterior discs of adjacent bones are cushioned by cartilage spacers referred to as intervertebral discs. The over 20 bones of the spinal column are anatomically categorized as one of four classification: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, or sacral. The cervical portion of the spine which comprises the top of the spine up to the base of the skull, includes the first 7 vertebrae. The intermediate 12 bones are thoracic vertebrae, and connect to the lower spine comprising the 5 lumbar vertebrae. The base of the spine is a sacral bones (including the coccyx).
[3] 3. The spinal column of bones is high complex in that it includes the over 20 bones coupled to one another, housing and protecting critical elements of the nervous system having innumerable peripheral nerves and circulatory bodies in close proximity. Despite its complexity, the spine is a highly flexible structure, capable of a high degree of curvature and twist in nearly every direction.
[4] 4. Genetic or developmental irregularities, trauma, chronic stress, tumors and disease, however, can result in spinal pathologies which either limit this range of motion, or which threatens the critical elements of the nervous system housed within the spinal column. A variety of systems have been disclosed in the art which achieve this immobilization by implanting artificial assemblies in or on the spinal column. These assemblies may be classified as anterior posterior or lateral implants. Lateral and anterior assemblies are coupled to the anterior portion of the spine which is in the sequence of vertebral bodies. Posterior implants generally comprise pairs of rods, which are aligned along the axis which the bones are to be disposed, and which are then attached to the spinal column by either hooks which couple to the lamina or attach to the transverse processes, or by screws which are inserted through the pedicles.
[5] 5. It is desirable, during surgical implantation of such orthopedic devices, to have a multi-axial screw system that provides a consistent lock as well as reliability, durability, and ease of installment. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Among those benefits and improvements that have been disclosed, other objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The drawings constitute a part of this specification and include exemplary embodiments of the present invention and illustrate various objects and features thereof. DETAIL DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[30] 30. Referring now to the drawings wherein like reference numerals designate identical or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and more particularly to FIG. 1 wherein the surgical screw system 50 of the present invention is illustrated. The surgical screw system 50 comprises a screw member 1 having a head 14 and shaft 15. The head 14 has spherical undersurface 24 and a conical tapered recess 10. The system 50 further comprises a receiver member 3 having upper and lower portions, 3 a and 3 b respectively, a u-shaped rod receiving channel 12, and an axial bore 16. The u-shaped channel 12 has two lateral legs, 12 a and 12 b respectively, at the upper portion 3 a of the receiver member 3 and forms an opening leading to the axial bore 16. The axial bore 16 near the lower portion 3 b of the receiver member 3 includes an inwardly conical tapered surface 5. The conical surface 5 has a diameter larger than the shaft 15 of the screw member 1 and a diameter smaller than the head 14 of the screw member 1. The conical surface 5 forms a support upon which the spherical undersurface 24 of the head 14 rests when the when the screw member 1 is guided through the bore 16 to the lower portion 3 b of the receiver member 3. The system 50 also comprises a pressure cap 7 which is positioned with the axial bore 16 of the receiver member 3 and situated upon the head 14 of the screw member 1. The pressure cap 7 has upper and lower ends, 7 a and 7 b respectively; the upper end 7 a of the pressure cap 7 comprises a concave radial portion 9 upon which a rod 8 is positioned, and the lower end 7 b of the pressure cap 7 comprises a spherical portion 20 situated upon the conical tapered recess 10 of the head 14 of the screw member 1. The system 50 further comprises a locking device 11 for securing the rod 8 within the u-shaped channel 12 of the receiver member 3 by applying a tightening torque upon the rod 8 when positioned within the opening and bore 16 near the upper portion of 3 a of the receiver member 3.
[31] 31. The undersurface 24 of the head 14 and the shaft 15 of the screw member 1 can comprise threaded portions 33. The conical tapered recess 10 of the screw member 1 comprises an aperture 6 coaxial to the shaft 15 and designed to engage a fastening device. The pressure cap 7 further comprises a axial bore 23 extending from the upper end 7 a to the lower end 7 b of the pressure cap 7. The bore 23 of the pressure cap 7 corresponds to the aperture 6 of the head 14 of the screw member 1 allowing access for the fastening device.
[32] 32. The receiver member 3 also further comprises a rectangular key-locking segment 18 and a cylindrical undercut 99 situated adjacent to the bore 16. The pressure cap 7 further comprises a cylindrical undercut 98 and a retaining ring 97. The key-locking segment 18 and the undercut 99 of the receiver member 3 are designed to engage the undercut 98 and the ring 97 of the pressure cap 7 to form an anti-rotation and locking mechanism.
[33] 33. The axial bore 16 of the receiver member 3 further comprises threaded portions 42 and the locking device comprises corresponding threaded portions 41. The head 14 of the screw member 1 is hexagon-shaped and the fastening device is a hexagon socket screw key.
[34] 34. The locking mechanism of the present invention provides a more consistent locking system. The convex spherical/concave conical taper interface of the present invention occurs at two instances: (a) the spherical undersurface 24 of the head 14 of the screw member 1 and the conical tapered recess surface 5 of the receiver member 3 and (b) the spherical portion 20 of the pressure cap 7 and the conical tapered recess 10 of the head 14 of the screw member 1. The convex spherical/concave conical taper interface at each junction of the locking mechanism of the present invention are wedge jointly. This wedge joint is achieved when a changing force is applied and the convex spherical feature is compressed into the concave conical taper feature. At the periphery point contacts and at the component interfaces, a resultant hoop stress is created. This hoop stress has a wedging effect at the component interfaces, thereby consistently locking the device in position. In addition to the wedging effect, the present invention also provides a mechanical leverage. The wedging effect and mechanical leverage provides for a consistently robust locking mechanism. The consistency is based upon the reproducible nature of the tapered nest geometry. Even when considering tolerance, the taper lock wedging effect and leverage position will always be consistently achieved. If any tolerance variation is encountered, this will translate into a slight variation of height in the longitudinal axis of the assembly which is negligible as to the function of the locking mechanism and the final device assembly.
[35] 35.FIG. 2 depicts a perspective view of the components of the surgical screw system 50 of the present invention. The system 50 comprises a screw member 1, a receiver member 3, a pressure cap 7 and a locking device. The screw member 1 comprises a head 14 and a shaft 15. The head 14 includes a spherical undersurface 24 and a conical tapered recess 10. FIG. 2 depicts the screw member 1 prior to insertion into the axial bore 16 of the receiver member 3. The receiver member 3 has upper and lower portions, 3 a and 3 b, a u-shaped channel 12 with two lateral legs 12 a and 12 b, and an axial bore. The pressure cap 7 comprises upper and lower ends, 7 a and 7 b respectively; the upper end 7 a of the pressure cap 7 comprises a concave radial portion 9 and the lower end 7 b comprises a spherical portion 20. The pressure cap also has a retaining ring 97.

The rod 8 is inserted into u-shaped channel 12 and within the bore 16 of the receiver member 3. The channel 12 has legs, 12 a and 12 b, that support the rod 8 upon insertion. The rod 8 is situated upon the concave radial portion 9 of pressure cap 7. The locking device 11 is secured upon the rod 8 and within the opening and bore 16 near the upper portion 3 a of the receiver member 3.
[37] 37.FIG. 4 illustrates the system 50 in assembled form. The rod 8 sits within the channel 12 and bore 16 and is supported by the legs 12 a and 12 b. The locking device 11 is used to secure the rod 8 within the channel 12 and bore 16 by applying a tightening torque upon the rod 8. The shaft 15 of the screw member 1 dangles from the receiver member 3 and allows for a two dimensional adjustment and multi-axial capabilities.
[38] 38. Numerous modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings. It is therefore to be understood that within the scope of the attendant claims appended thereto, this invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically disclosed herein.
