When intended to promote fusion of the cervical spine and the thoracic spine, (CI-T3), the Endius Minit Posterior Cervical and Upper Thoracic Fixation System is indicated for the following:
DDD (neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies), spondylolisthesis, spinal stenosis, fracture, dislocation, failed previous fusion and/or tumors.
Hooks and Rods
The hooks and rods are also intended to provide stabilization to promote fusion following reduction of fracture/dislocation or trauma in the cervical/upper thoracic (C1-T3) spine.
Screws/Connectors
The use of screws is limited to placement in the TI-T3 in treating thoracic conditions only. Screws are not intended to be placed in the cervical spine.
Axial and Offset Rod Coniectors
The Minit Posterior Cervical and Upper Thoracic Fixation System can also be linked to the TiTLE and TiTLE 2 System offered by Endius Inc. using the Axial Rod Connectors, Dual Rod Connectors and the Tri Screw Dual Rod Connectors.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
