anteriorPEEK

The ALIF PEEK Intervertebral Locking Cage system consists of polietheroetheroketon (PEEK) cages of various widths, heights and angles to adapt best to variety of patient's anatomies. The ALIF PEEK Intervertebral Locking Cage is designed for use with autograft, as stand-alone device (without supplemental fixation systems) for anterior intervertebral body fusion at one level or two contiguous levels of lumbar spine. The implants are indicated for the treatment of degenerative disc disease (ODD) and grade 1 spondylolisthesis in lumbar spine from L2 to S1. Degenerative disc disease (ODD) is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. Patients qualified for treatment should be skeletally mature and have had at least six months of non-operative treatment. The choice of a particular implant must be carefully considered in terms of patient's overall evaluation. Circumstances listed below may preclude or reduce the chance of successful outcome: Infection, local to the operative site. Signs of local inflammation. Fever or leukocytosis. Morbid obesity {defined according to the W.H.O. standards). Pregnancy. Neuromuscular disorder which would create unacceptable risk of fixation failure or complications in postoperative care. Any other condition which would preclude the potential benefit of spinal implant surgery and disturb the normal process of bone remodeling, e.g. the presence of tumors or congenital abnormalities, fracture local to the operating site, elevation of sedimentation rate unexplained by other diseases.
