Minimally invasive pedicle screw positioning system CHARSPINE2

CHARSPINE2 MIS Thoracolumbar spine stabilization system is a set of implants designed for the treatment of the thoracic-lumbar spine using a minimally invasive technique. The system is used with the posterior approach (from Thl to SI) in skeletally mature patients. Implants oftheCHARSPINE2 MIS system enable treatment with restoration of the physiological curves of the affected motion segment of the spine through proper vertebral reposition. Indications: • degenerative disc disease (ODD), • spondylolistheses, • fractures and dislocations, • deformities [e.g.: scolioses, kyphoses), • tumours, • stenoses, • pseudoarthroses, • failed previous fusion. Contraindications may be relative or absolute. The choice of a particular device must be carefully considered in terms of patient's overall condition. Some conditions such as, e.g.: • spine infection, • morbid obesity, • mental illness, • alcohol or drug addiction, • pregnancy, • suspected or documented allergy or intolerance to implant materials, foreign bodies, • inadequate tissue coverage or open wounds in the operative site, may preclude or reduce the chance of the successful outcome. The safety and effectiveness of spinal systems based on the transpedicular screws stabilization have been established only for diseases of the spine caused by significant mechanical instability or deformities requiring surgical immobilization. The safety and effectiveness of these systems for other conditions remain unknown. A successful result is not always achieved in every surgical case. This fact is especially true in the cases where other patient's conditions may compromise the results.
