## Indications for use
The Altus Spine Pedicle Screw System is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine. The Altus Spine Pedicle Screw System is intended for noncervical pedicle fixation for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origins 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; and failed previous fusion in skeletally mature patients. The Altus Spine Pedicle Screw System may be used for noncervical pedicle fixation via in posterior percutaneous approach with MIS instrumentation for the indications listed above. When used as an anterolateral thoracic/lumbar system the Altus Spine Pedicle Screw System may also be used for the same indications listed above as an adjunct to fusion.
