## Indications for use
The LITe® Plate System Universal, Sacral, 2 Screw and 4 Screw Plates are indicated for use via a lateral or anterolateral surgical approach above the bifurcation of the great vessels in the treatment of the thoracic and thoracolumbar (T1-L5) spine or via an anterior approach below the bifurcation of the great vessels in the treatment of lumbar and lumbosacral (L1-S1) spine. The system is intended to provide additional support during fusion in skeletally mature patients in the treatment of the following acute and chronic instabilities or deformities: Degenerative Disc Disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies); Pseudoarthrosis; Spondylolysis; Spondylolisthesis; Spinal stenosis; Tumors; Trauma (i.e. Fractures or Dislocation); Deformities (i.e. Scoliosis, Kyphosis or Lordosis); Failed Previous Fusion The LITe® Plate System Buttress Plate is intended to stabilize the allograft or autograft at one level (T1-S1) as an aid to spinal fusion and to provide temporary stabilization and augment development of a solid spinal fusion. It may be used alone or with other anterior, anterolateral, or posterior spinal systems made of compatible materials. This device is not intended for load bearing applications.
