The TruFUSE procedure is a minimally invasive spinal surgical solution that addresses symptomatic back pain resulting from facet joint disease and mild spinal instability, typically resulting in severe back pain. TruFUSE involves placing a portal into a patient through a minimally invasive incision to access the facet joints, drilling a hole between the facet joints and then inserting and tamping a facet joint fusion plug into the facet joints, according to the release.
The technique can be used either as a stand-alone procedure or as an adjunct to augment other fusion techniques and motion limiting products.
