MedSpark - Pedicle Screw System
The pedicle screw, which is sometimes used as an adjunct to spinal fusion surgery, provides a means of gripping a spinal segment. The screws themselves do not fixate the spinal segment, but act as firm anchor points that can then be connected with a rod. The screws are placed by the surgeon into two or three consecutive spine segments (e.g. lumbar segment 3 and 4) and then a short rod is used to connect the screws. This construct prevents motion at the segments that are being fused. Spinal fusion is sometimes used to treat acute injuries, such as fractures and dislocations, and to treat mechanical or structural problems causing disabling pain (such as from cancer or infection). MedSpark developed this pedicle screw system for a client in orthopedic implant sales.
