What is it indicated for?
The TDM Anterior Cervical Plate System is intended for anterior fixation of the cervical spine (C2 to C7). The system is to be used to provide stabilization of the anterior cervical spine as an adjunct to fusion for the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD) (defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies), spondylolisthesis, trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation), spinal stenosis, deformities or curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis), tumor, pseudoarthrosis, and failed previous fusion.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
