Insertion methods for placing dynamic interbody devices between a first
vertebra and a second vertebra using a posterior approach are provided.
In an embodiment, the insertion method may be based on the first
vertebra. A bridge assembly may be attached to tap shafts positioned in
the first vertebra. The bridge assembly may establish an insertion angle
of implants into a disc space between the vertebrae. In an embodiment,
the insertion method may be based on the position of expandable trials
positioned between the vertebrae. The trials may be positioned and a
bridge assembly may be coupled to the expandable trials and taps
positioned in the first vertebra. One or more posterior stabilization
systems may be coupled to the vertebrae after insertion of the dynamic
interbody devices between the vertebrae.
