Frequently Asked Questions

How do most spine surgeons train on this technology?

Most surgeons starts with our online course for its unbeatable convenience. Anatomical model training and surgical simulation are the most popular hands-on training modalities for spine surgeons and neurosurgeons. Both options allow for effective, hands-on training at your O.R. or office and make it easy to add training sessions to busy schedules.

Which patients may benefit from this technology and what are the criteria  for patient selection?

We specifically cover patient selection during training because spine surgeons are often curious about which patients are good candidates for this technology. Understanding the indications and contraindications for tissue-sparing posterior fusion is crucial for patient safety and optimal outcomes.

INDICATIONS FOR USE

CORUS™ Posterior Cervical Stabilization System (PCSS) is posterior spinal instrumentation with integrated screw fixation intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments.

CORUS PCSS is placed through a posterior surgical approach in up to 3 consecutive levels of the cervical spine (C3-C7) and achieves bilateral facet fixation by spanning the facet interspace at each level with points of fixation at each end of the construct.

CORUS PCSS is intended as an adjunct to posterior cervical fusion (PCF) and is only intended to be used in combination with an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) at the same level(s).

CORUS PCSS is indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD). DDD is defined as radiculopathy and/or myelopathy, neck and/or arm pain of discogenic origin as confirmed by radiographic studies.

CORUS PCSS is to be used with autogenous bone and/or allogenic bone graft.

As with all medical devices, there are risks and considerations to device use. Please refer to the device labeling for a full discussion of potential risks, contraindications, warnings, precautions, and instructions for use.

* Posterior cervical and lumbar fusion can be performed using open or tissue-sparing techniques. Tissue-sparing technique may require special training, utilize indirect visualization, and/or increase radiation exposure.
