Read the full statement (145 words)

The Kestrel Posterior Cervical Fixation System is intended to promote fiusion of the cervical spine and occipito-cervico-thoracic junction (Occiput - T3). The system is intended for posterior, cervical, non-pedicle fixation, or for posterior, noncervical pedicle fixation for the following indications:

* Degenerative disc disease (DDD) 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

* Failed previous fusion

Occipital bone screws are limited to occipital fixation only. Pedicle screws are limited to placement in the upper thoracic spine (TI -T3), when anchoring the OCT construct only. Pedicle screws are not intended to be placed in the cervical spine. Hooks and wires (not pedicle screws) are used to achieve cervical fission for the occipital/cervical loop.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
