## Indications for use
The Arthrex Spine Compression FT Screws are intended to stabilize the spine as an aid to fusion through immobilization of the facet joints, either through bilateral transfacet fixation, or unilateral transfacet fixation when used contralateral to pedicle screw fixation. The Arthrex Spine Compression FT Screws are intended to be used with or without bone graft, at a single or multiple levels, from C2 to S1, for treatment of any or all of the following: pseudoarthrosis and failed previous fusions which are symptomatic or which may cause secondary instability or deformity; spondylolisthesis; spondylolysis; degenerative disc disease (DDD) as defined by neck and/or back pain of discogenic origin as confirmed by radiographic studies; degeneration of the facets with instability and trauma including spinal fractures and/or dislocations. The Arthrex Spine Compression FT Screw is also indicated for fracture fixation of small bones and bone fragments including pars interarticularis and odontoid. The fracture fixation of pars interarticularis is indicated for the adult and adolescent population (12 to 21 years of age).
