## Indications for use
The PhenixTM VBR is a vertebral body replacement device intended for use in the thoracic spine (i.e., T1-L5) to replace a collapsed, damaged or unstable vertebral body resected or excised (i.e., partial or total vertebrectomy) due to tumor or trauma (i.e., fracture). The PhenixTM VBR is designed to restore the mechanical integrity of the anterior, middle and posterior spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a prolonged period. The PhenixTM VBR is intended for use with supplemental spinal fixation systems which are labeled for use in the thoracic spine. The interior of the PhenixTM VBR may be packed with autograft bone.
