In a spinal fusion procedure, bone graft is implanted in disc spaces between vertebrae or along the back of the spine. Over the course of several months, the grafted bone fuses the vertebrae together.
Spinal implants are an essential tool used to stabilize the spine while the vertebrae fuse.
Spinal fusions performed without implants do not provide the surgeon with precise control over the spinal fusion position, which can lead to incorrect spinal alignment. Bone graft material can also collapse or migrate without spinal implants, leading to fusion failure and the need for additional surgery. More surgeons trained to use spinal implant systems With our constantly evolving line of advanced spinal implant products, Interpore Cross is well positioned to meet this changing need. Low Back System Spinal surgery in the lumbar area usually requires the use of screws and rods. The Closed Integral Screw is commonly used at the end of a construct, and is extremely cost-effective.
