BUSINESS WIRE: Medacta Announces Full-Market Release of Customizable MySpine MC Surgical Guides for Posterior Lumbar Fusions

Medacta® announces today its MySpine Midline Cortical Pedicle Screw Placement Guide (MySpine MC), a patient-matched technology for posterior lumbar fusions, is now generally available and will be on display at the North American Spine Society (NASS) 2018 Annual Meeting, held Sept. 26-29, 2018 in Los Angeles, at Booth #2323.

The patient-matched, 3D-printed MySpine MC, first announced in May 2018, guides pedicle screws to a trajectory that evolved from the well-established cortical bone trajectory (CBT). The MySpine MC technique, however, has a more caudomedial entry point than traditional pedicle screw trajectories and a less extreme caudal-cranial angle than CBT to avoid interference with the cranial facet joints and to accommodate larger screw diameters and lengths, precisely supported by 3D pre-operative planning. As an accurate and reliable muscle-sparring approach, MySpine MC is designed to encourage faster patient recovery and is suitable for both inpatient and outpatient surgery settings.
 
MySpine MC and other Medacta spine innovations will be on display this week at NASS 2018
