Dexa-C implants are matched to a patient’s bone density and are designed for anterior cervical discectomy with fusions. Dr. Koga’s case was performed at Cypress Pointe Surgical Hospital in Hammond, La.

“The Dexa-C implant from Aurora Spine ushers in a new era of personalized spine surgery,” Dr. Koga said in a news release from Aurora Spine. “This customization prevents implant subsidence and accelerates fusion even in healthy individuals. This will expand access to spine surgery for older patients who were previously excluded by poor bone quality.”

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
