What is it indicated for?
The AccinTM Cervical Plate System components are intended for anterior interbody fixation of the cervical spine. The system is indicated for use in the temporary stabilization of the anterior spine during the development of cervical spine fusions in patients with:
* Degenerative disk disease (as defined by neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies);
* Trauma (including fractures)
* Tumor
* Deformity (defined as kyphosis, lordosis or scoliosis)
* Pseudoarthrosis
* Failed previous fusions.
The Accin Cervical Plate System can be implanted in the sub-axial cervical spine from C3 through C7.
