Redefining Lumbar Fusion with CORUS-LX:

  • This video provides the essentials for Posterior Lumbar Fusion with CORUS-LX.
  • Expert surgeon insights on the critical role of facet joints in achieving successful fusion.
  • An overview of the CORUS-LX Navigation System and how it enhances precision and efficiency in the OR.
  • Real-world case studies and outcomes that demonstrate the clinical value of this approach.

Optimizing Lumbar Fusion
Where It Matters Most

For patients where traditional hardware isn't enough.
CORUS-LX offers a facet-based approach to achieving 360° stability-especially for high-risk and revision patients.
  • Spans the Facet with points of fixation designed for increased stability & fusion
  • Dedicated Bone Preparation Instruments (inner and outer decorticator)
  • Tissue-sparing technique for joint access, decortication, and bone graft delivery
  • Implant with Self-Locking Screw serves as a reservoir for bone graft material

Facets Matter

Superior Surface & Density
  • Greater surface area for fusion when combined with interbody lumbar fusion
  • Higher bone density in the facet region vs vertebral body
Facet Region has Higher Bone Mineral Density vs Vertebral Body.¹
Anatomical
Region
Mean BMD Total(mgCa²⁺HA/mL) Percent Cortical Bone(% by Volume)
Inferior articular process 392.4 ± 98.4 51 ± 18.3
Pedicle 305.5 ± 77.0 36 ± 11.6
Superior articular process 306.8 ± 79.2 34 ± 13.9
Vertebral body 147.2 ± 26.9 10.9 ± 5.2

Sterile-packaged Navigation-ready For Perioperative Efficiency

CORUS-LX simplifies MIS procedures,
reduces tissue disruption, while offering:
  • Effortless facet joint access when paired with the CORUS™ Navigation Access System.
  • Sterile instrumentation designed to minimize cost for re-sterilization process.
  • Includes a portal system for mini-open procedures not larger than 16mm.
CORUS-LX offers a facet-based approach to achieving 360° stability-especially for high-risk and revision patients.

Powerful Facet Stabilization


  • Significant reductions in the range of motion across all measurements.
  • Comparable ROM reduction to traditional pedicle screw construct (PSR).(3)
  • A viable alternative for increasing spinal stability in LLIF procedures.

Indications for Use, CORUS™-LX LevelOne
A. CORUS SPINAL SYSTEM-LX:
The CORUS Spinal System-LX is a set of instruments indicated to be used to perform posterior lumbar fusion in patients with lumbar degenerative disc disease.
B. CORUS-LX IMPLANT:

CORUS-LX Implant is posterior spinal instrumentation with integrated screw fixation intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments. CORUS-LX is placed bilaterally through a posterior surgical approach and spans the facet interspace with points of fixation at each end of the construct.

CORUS-LX is intended to provide temporary stabilization as an adjunct to a 1 or 2 level interbody lumbar fusion with autogenous and/or allogenic bone graft and must be accompanied with an FDA cleared intervertebral body fusion device implanted at the same spinal level(s), and may be used with a pedicle screw and rod system implanted at the same spinal level(s).

CORUS-LX is indicated for the treatment of patients with lumbar degenerative disc disease (DOD) from L4 to S1 in skeletally mature patients who have failed conservative care.
