Zyga Technology announced the first implantation of the Glyder Facet Restoration Device in Cyprus.
The device aims at addressing new-onset facet joint pain in a patient with a previous total disc replacement. Antoine Tohmeh, MD, performed the surgery at Cyprus-based American Institute of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery.
"The ability to preserve motion in patients who have benefited from a disc prosthesis, or total disc replacement, but suffer from facetogenic pain, is very exciting," said Dr. Tohmeh.
