The surgery was performed on Oct. 27. Dr. Courtney has now successfully implanted the FDA-cleared system in three patients.

 

“Eminent Spine has developed a lateral plating system that provides immediate fixation…The beauty of the plate system is that the technology is designed into the implant system, therefore saving operating room time,” said Dr. Courtney.
