## Indications for use
VLIFT®-s Vertebral Body Replacement System is indicated for use in the cervical spine (C3-C7) and the thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5) in skeletally mature patients for partial or total replacement of a diseased, collapsed, damaged, or unstable vertebral body due to tumor, osteomyelitis, trauma (i.e., fracture), or for reconstruction following corpectomy performed to achieve decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissue in degenerative disorders. The VLIFT®-s Vertebral Body Replacement System is intended for use with autograft or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft, as an adjunct to fusion. The VLIFT®-s Vertebral Body Replacement 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, thoracic, and lumbar spine in whom life expectancy is of insufficient duration to permit achievement of fusion, with bone graft used at the surgeon's discretion. The VLIFT®-s Vertebral Body Replacement System is intended to be used with FDA-cleared supplemental spinal fixation systems that have been labeled for use in the cervical, thoracic, and/or lumbar spine (i.e., posterior screw and rod systems, anterior plate systems, and anterior screw and rod systems). When used at more than two levels, supplemental fixation should include posterior fixation.
