The device has been used in more than a dozen patients, and all cases were successful, according to a news release. The system includes a transfixing-cone, an ilium screw, a sacrum screw and surgical instruments. Its implants are designed to transfix the sacrum and ilium and provide stability for fusion.
“The SiLO TFX marks the next chapter in treating patients safely and effectively with a minimally invasive option for sacroiliac joint fixation,” neurosurgeon Steven Falowski, MD, said in the release. “It incorporates two well-known techniques of graft placement into the joint, and transfixation across the sacrum and ilium. The instrumentation allows for a smooth placement with a single small incision improving both the physician and patient experience.”
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.
