The Care Pedicle Screw System is a posterior pedicle screw system indicated for the treatment of severe spandylolisthesis (Grade 3 and 4) at the L5-SI vertebra in skeletally mature patients receiving fusion by autogenous bone graft having implants attached to the lumbar and sacral spine (L3 to sacrum) with removal at the implants after the attainment af a solid fusion.

In addition, the Core Pedicle Screw System Is intended to provide Immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of the following acute and chronic instabilities or deformities at the thoracic lumbar and sacral spine: degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurological impairment, fracture, dislocation, scoliosis, kyphosis, spinal tumor and failed previous fusion (pseudarthrosls).

The Core Hook System is intended for use as a posterior, noncervical, nonpedicle system indicated for degenerative disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); spondylolisthesis; trauma(i.e., fracture or dislocation); spinal stenosis; curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis); tumor, pseudoarthrosis; and failed previous fusion. The Care Hook System can be used in conjunction with Core Pedicle Screw System.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
