Spine surgeon Matthew Follett, MD, was the first in the U.S. to use a new anterior cervical discectomy device from Alphatec.
Dr. Follett, of Synergy Orthopedic Specialists in San Diego, used Alphatec’s IdentiTi II porous interbody system, according to a Dec. 19 news release. His patient is two months post-surgery and has had a complete resolution of her preoperative pain.
The implant is 3D-printed and provides a tailored approach to surgery.
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.
