## Indications for use
The Choice Spine HAWKEYE™ Vertebral Body Replacement (VBR) Spacers are vertebral body replacement devices intended for use in the thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5). Hawkeye (VBR) Spacers are also intended for use in the cervical spine (C2-T1). When used in the cervical spine (C2-T1), the HAWKEYE™ VBR devices are intended for use in the skeletally mature patients to replace a diseased or damaged vertebral body caused by tumor, fracture, or osteomyelitis, or for reconstruction following corpectomy performed to achieve decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues in cervical degenerative disorders. These spacers are 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, with bone graft used at the surgeon’s discretion. When used in the thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5), the HAWKEYE ™ VBR Spacers are intended for use to replace a collapsed, damaged, or unstable vertebral body due to tumor or trauma (i.e., fracture). These spacers are designed to provide anterior spinal column support even in the absence of fusion for a prolonged period. The interior of the spacers can be packed with autograft or allogenic bone graft comprising cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft as an adjunct to fusion. These devices are 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.
