What is it indicated for?
The Precision Spine Reform® POCT System is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion for the following acute and chronic instabilities of the craniocervical junction, the cervical spine (C1 to C7) and the thoracic spine from T1-T3: traumatic spinal fractures and/or traumatic dislocations; instability or deformity; failed previous fusions (e.g., pseudarthrosis); tumors involving the cervical spine; and…
Read the full statement (142 words)
The Precision Spine Reform® POCT System is intended to provide immobilization and
stabilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion for the following acute and chronic
instabilities of the craniocervical junction, the cervical spine (C1 to C7) and the thoracic spine
from T1-T3: traumatic spinal fractures and/or traumatic dislocations; instability or deformity;
failed previous fusions (e.g., pseudarthrosis); tumors involving the cervical spine; and
degenerative disease, including intractable radiculopathy and/or myelopathy, neck and/or arm
pain of discogenic origin as confirmed by radiographic studies, and degenerative disease of the
facets with instability. The Precision Spine Reform® POCT System is also intended to
restore the integrity of the spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a limited time
period in patients with advanced stage tumors involving the cervical spine in whom life
expectancy is of insufficient duration to permit achievement of fusion.
