The Golden Isles Pedicle Screw System is intended to help provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion of the lumbar and/or sacral spine as follows:
The Golden Isles System is intended for posterior, non-cervical pedicle fixation in skeletally mature patients for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (DDD) (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient 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 addition, when used as a pedicle screw fixation system, the Golden Isles Pedicle Screw System is indicated for skeletally mature patients: (a) having severe spondylolisthesis (Grades 3 and 4) of the fifth lumbar-first sacral (L5-Sl ) vertebral joint, (b) who are receiving fusions using autogenous bone graft only, (c) who are having the device fixed or attached to the lumbar and sacral spine (L3 and below), and (d) who are having the device removed after the development of a solid fusion mass.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
