A new study found that Aurora Spine’s SiLO TFX sacroiliac fusion system saw stronger outcomes compared to traditional posterolateral transosseous techniques.
The clinical study, published in Neurospine, found SiLO TFX removed less bone volume and offered a larger surface area for bony fusion compared to the posterolateral transosseous technique, according to an April 2 news release from the company. The system also maintained the bone-implant interface upon fatigue loading in all specimens.
SiLO TFX is a minimally invasive system with a transfixing-cone, an ilium screw, a sacrum screw and associated instrumentation.
“The posterior interposition technique demonstrated significant advantages in reducing joint motion and preserving bone integrity,” Michael Stoffman, MD, a neurosurgeon at the University at Buffalo (N.Y.) and one of the study’s authors, said in the release. “This approach offers a promising alternative to traditional methods, potentially leading to improved patient recovery and long-term success.”
