5.5 Spinal Pedicle Screw System

The 5.5 spinal pedicle screw system is a medical implant system used in spinal surgeries for stabilization and fusion of the spine.

It consists of pedicle screws, connecting rods, locking caps, and other hardware that are used to create a stable construct in the spine.

The 5.5 refers to the diameter of the screw, which is 5.5 mm. This system is designed to provide superior fixation and stability for spinal fusion procedures, which can help to reduce the risk of complications and improve patient outcomes.

It is commonly used in the treatment of conditions such as degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, and scoliosis.

What is Anterior Cervical Plate System？

Anterior cervical plate system is a type of medical implant used in cervical spine surgery. It is designed to provide stabilization and fusion of the cervical spine following cervical discectomy and decompression procedures.

The system consists of a metal plate that is attached to the front of the cervical spine with screws, and is typically made of titanium or stainless steel. The plate provides stability to the spine while the bone graft used in the procedure fuses the vertebrae together over time.

Anterior cervical plate systems are used to treat a range of cervical spine conditions, including degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and cervical fractures.

What is Anterior Thoracolumbar Plate System?

Anterior thoracolumbar plate system is a medical device used in spinal surgery. It is designed to stabilize the spine and provide support for fusion in the thoracolumbar region of the spine, which is the area between the lower part of the thoracic spine and the upper part of the lumbar spine. The system consists of a plate that is fixed to the anterior (front) aspect of the spine using screws, and is made of materials such as titanium or stainless steel. The plate and screws work together to hold the spine in place, allowing for fusion to occur between the adjacent vertebrae.

Cervical cage with screw

A cervical cage with screw is a medical device used in cervical spine surgery to provide support and stability to the vertebrae. It is used in cases where the cervical spine is damaged or degenerated, causing pain, instability, or compression of the spinal cord or nerves.

The cervical cage is a small implant made of biocompatible materials such as titanium or a polymer material, designed to be inserted between two adjacent cervical vertebrae. The cage is typically filled with bone graft material to encourage the growth of new bone tissue and promote fusion between the two vertebrae.

The screws used with the cervical cage are used to secure the cage in place and stabilize the spine. They are usually made of titanium and are screwed into the adjacent vertebrae. The screws can be designed in different lengths and diameters to fit the specific needs of the patient.

Cervical cage with screws is often used in cervical fusion surgery to treat conditions such as degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and spondylolisthesis. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, and the recovery time can vary depending on the extent of the surgery and the patient’s overall health.
