Techtonix
The Techtonix System is designed for osteosynthesis degenerative diseases at L5-S1 (Grades 3 and 4), using autogenous bone graft, instability and failed herniated disc. It provides a posterior tension band when an interbody fusion is contemplated through a PLIF or TLIF approach. The balance of the spine in the Techtonix surgical procedure is respected because the autogenous bone graft creates fusion where there are normal stresses of the spine. The posterior device is low profile and does not create a new posterior constraint, which would nullify the value of the autogenous bone graft and could make the construct unstable. Respecting this balance allows the treatment of only the symptomatic level even in a degenerative spine context.
According to these principles of minimally invasive procedures, respect of the muscles and the balance of the spine, over a thousand patients have been treated with previous generations of the Techtonix System in Europe and the United States. Surgery using this low-profile system helps make the procedure easier.
Key advantages include:
- One of the smallest plates on the market
- Anatomic implants are pre-lordosed to minimize facet impingement
- Smaller skin incision allows less muscle and soft tissue retraction
- Increased screw angulation allows 30 degrees of Polyaxial freedom
