There are over 300,000 cervical fusion procedures performed each year, with over 40% involving patients with some form of risk factors for nonunion. While safe and effective for most patients, a common complication is pseudarthrosis, a failure of the bones to heal and fuse after surgery. Risk factors that contribute to pseudarthrosis include multi-level disease, poor bone quality, smoking, diabetes, and insufficient immobilization. When pseudarthrosis occurs, patients can experience severe pain and neurological issues, which often necessitate another surgical intervention. This second “revision” surgery can be more complex and carry increased risks and complications.<\/p>\n The Journal of Clinical Neuroscience publication presents long-term data on forty-five patients enrolled from six sites across the United States who had a failed cervical fusion surgery (ACDF) and were subsequently revised with a tissue-sparing posterior cervical fusion using Providence Medical Technology’s CORUS\u2122 Spinal System and CAVUX\u00ae FFS.<\/p>\n Key findings from the study include:<\/p>\n CAVUX\u00ae FFS is a unique surgical implant constructed of a CAVUX Cervical Cage and an ALLY\u00ae Bone Screw. Two FFS devices are implanted bilaterally through the back of the neck and span the facet joints to provide immobilization and stabilization as an adjunct to posterior cervical fusion. CAVUX FFS is “indicated for patients requiring a revision for an anterior pseudarthrosis at one level, from C3 to C7, with autogenous and\/or allogenic bone graft.” CAVUX FFS is implanted using the company’s flagship CORUS\u2122 Spinal System, which enables a surgeon to perform a tissue-sparing posterior cervical fusion before placing implants.<\/p>\n “Tissue-sparing posterior cervical fusion with CORUS\u2122 Spinal System and CAVUX\u00ae FFS has become my preferred approach to treating patients after a failed anterior fusion,” said Dr. Michael M. Haglund, Endowed Professor of Neurosurgery and Orthopaedic Surgery at Duke University and lead author of the publication. “I am pleased to publish this new evidence demonstrating positive results in this difficult to treat patient population.”<\/p>\n “Failed spine surgery is a huge problem for everyone involved,” Providence CEO and Co-founder Jeff Smith noted. “High-risk spinal fusion patients suffer nonunion rates much higher than most people realize and often require revision surgery. We believe this is not acceptable and are driven to prevent these failures for all patients. Our tissue-sparing posterior fusion technology is a great option to treat these patients, as is well demonstrated in this study. We also believe the best way to fix surgical failures among high-risk spinal fusion patients is to prevent them from happening in the first place. We look forward to sharing our FUSE study data in the coming months for this application. I am so thankful for the support of all of our research partners for both of these studies. They are truly dedicated to solving this unmet clinical need for high-risk patients.”<\/p>\n Providence Medical Technology devices have been used to treat over 20,000 patients and are currently available in over 2,500 hospitals in the United States.<\/p>\n About Providence Medical Technology, Inc.<\/b><\/p>\n Providence Medical Technology, Inc. is a privately held medical device company focused on innovative and tissue-sparing surgical solutions for cervical spine surgery. Its purpose is to improve clinical outcomes for high-risk patients and prevent surgical failures of the cervical spine. Its mission is to establish Circumferential Cervical Fusion (CCF) as the standard of care for high-risk patients. The Company has pioneered a proprietary approach to posterior cervical and lumbar fusion and has developed surgical instrumentation and implants that address the unmet clinical need of and offer unique benefits to the $2 billion worldwide cervical spine market.<\/p>\n The Providence family of products includes the CORUS\u2122<\/sup> Spinal System, CAVUX\u00ae<\/sup> intervertebral implants, and ALLY\u00ae bone and facet screws. All implants and instruments are sterile-packaged and single-use to maximize perioperative efficiency and ensure consistent quality and performance.<\/p>\n View the clinical publication: Long-term outcomes in patients treated with tissue-sparing posterior cervical fusion to revise a 1-level pseudarthrosis following ACDF<\/a><\/p>\n SOURCE Providence Medical Technology, Inc.<\/p>\n Latest Study Published in Journal of Clinical Neurosurgery adds to Robust Body of Evidence Supporting Tissue-Sparing Posterior Cervical Fusion to Treat High-Risk Cervical Fusion Patients PLEASANTON, Calif., Dec. 7, 2023 \/PRNewswire\/ — Providence Medical Technology, Inc., a medical device innovator focused on improving surgical outcomes for high-risk spine surgery patients, today announced a new publication […]<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"author":2,"featured_media":373482,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[],"acf":[],"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"link","format":"url"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/platohealth.ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373477"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/platohealth.ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/platohealth.ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platohealth.ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platohealth.ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=373477"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/platohealth.ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373477\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":373481,"href":"https:\/\/platohealth.ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373477\/revisions\/373481"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platohealth.ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/373482"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/platohealth.ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=373477"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platohealth.ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=373477"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/platohealth.ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=373477"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"A](\"https:\/\/platohealth.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/providence-medical-technology-announces-new-publication-demonstrating-high-fusion-rates-and-successful-outcomes-in-previously-failed-cervical-fusion-patients-biospace.jpg\" "\\"A")
