## Indications for use
The MediExpand Cervical Expandable VBR System is intended for use in the cervical spine (C3-C7 vertebral bodies) in 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. Use of the MediExpand Cervical Expandable VBR System is limited to single-level or two-level corpectomy and the device is intended to be used with supplemental fixation cleared by the FDA for use in the cervical spine. These implants are intended for use with autograft or allogenic bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft, as an adjunct to fusion. The MediExpand Cervical Expandable VBR System is also intended to restore the integrity of the spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a limited period of time 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.
