Erkan Alci, MD, performed the first U.S. case using Globus Medical’s CREO traction screw, according to a March 30 LinkedIn post.
Dr. Alci used the screws for a bilateral minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion completed at Conway (S.C.) Medical Center.
“My patient population tends to be older with decreased bone quality, so screw loosening and pullout are always a concern,” Dr. Alci said in the post. “The CREO traction screw seems to be a great option for this clinical scenario.”
At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
