One of the most exciting areas in spinal surgery today is the non-fusion area. Surgeons and engineers are creating devices that can be implanted to treatment various spine conditions without fusion, thus allowing the patient to retain at least some movement and flexibility that would otherwise be lost by fusing vertebrae together. Although fusion is [...]
In the global market for spine surgery products/technologies, there is a progressive caseload shift away from spine fusion and toward alternative technologies are less invasive, provide more flexibility in the spine, minimize pain, and/or provide other benefits. Accordingly, spine fusion revenues are expected to be flat as bone graft substitutes, total disc replacement and vertebroplasty/kyphoplasty [...]
