Recent literature has shown clinical benefits of posteromedial translation using sublaminar bands, for treatment of AIS in combination with pedicle screws in cases of compromised pedicle anatomy and/or poor bone quality. Fixation Band systems providea solution for the most complex deformity cases. Please find the List of the 7 main Fixation Band Systems: https://thespinemarketgroup.com/fixation-band/
About Spinal Fixation Band
It is a temporary orthopedic implant intended to provide stabilization during the development of solid bony fusion and aid in the repair of bone fractures. The indications for use include the following applications: 1 . Spinal trauma surgery, used in sublaminar or facet wiring techniques; 2. Spinal reconstructive surgery, incorporated into constructs for the purpose of correction of spinal deformities such as idiopathic and neuromuscular scoliosis in patients 8 years of age and older, adult scoliosis, kyphosis, and spondylolisthesis; 3. Spinal degenerative surgery, as an adjunct to spinal fusions.The device system is designed to be incorporated into constructs and used in conjunction with other medical device implants made of either stainless steel or titanium whenever “wiring’ may help secure the attachment of other implants.It stabilizes the spine as an adjunct to fusion in the correction of spinal deformities.
Fixation Band Systems: 7 Relevant Products–Recent literature has shown clinical benefits of posteromedial translation using sublaminar bands, for treatment of AIS. Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a tridimensional deformity that affects the trunk height changing both in coronal and sagittal profiles, with usually a loss of thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis and a trend to cervical kyphosis.
The aim of surgical treatment is both to correct the deformity in the coronal plane and to restore a physiological sagittal alignment. Indeed, restoring physiological thoracic kyphosis should reduce the incidence of adjacent segment degeneration and progressive junctional malalignment.Various systems have been reported for correction of AIS, among which the all-screw construct is commonly considered the gold standard. However, this system has some limitations: a significant decrease in thoracic kyphosis, the difficulty of thoracic screw placement because of the smaller pedicle size and the wide variation in his morphological characteristics due to the vertebral dystrophy observed in the concavity of scoliosis , and the potential complications, such as neurologic lesions, vascular injuries, pleural tears and increased radiations exposure.
As demonstrated by Mazda and other surgeons, the Fixation Band systems, hybrid technique appears safe and effective in correcting both coronal and sagittal profiles.
