The endplates are designed to shift the lordotic angle of the implant to the inferior endplate and give surgeons more options to address a patient’s lumbar anatomy and pathology.
J. Rush Fisher, MD, of Philadelphia-based Penn Spine Center, has used the endplates for lumbar arthroplasties, according to a Sept. 28 news release.
“The overall balance of the spine simply looks better,” Dr. Fisher said. “This is especially true at the L5-S1 level where an 11 degree implant is needed and on all multi-level cases.”
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.
