Device posterior cervical screw system
Regulation Description Posterior cervical screw system.
Definition Posterior cervical screw systems are intended for use in fusion procedures of the cervical spine and/or craniocervical junction and/or cervicothoracic junction for: 1) spinal fractures and dislocations; 2) deformities; 3) instabilities; 4) failed previous fusions; 5) tumors; 6) inflammatory disorders; 7) spinal degeneration, 8) facet degeneration with instability; and 9) reconstruction following decompression to treat radiculopathy and/or myelopathy. These systems are also intended to stabilize the spine in the absence of fusion for a limited time period in patients with tumors involving the cervical spine in whom life expectancy is of insufficient duration to permit achievement of fusion.
Physical State Metallic plates, longitudinal members (e.g., rods) and other device-specific accessories.
Technical Method Use of screws and longitudinal members (e.g., rods) to stabilization spinal segments for fusion.
Target Area Posterior cervical spine
