Product Overview
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion is an approach to spinal fusion in which the surgeon accesses the intervertebral disc space using a surgical approach from the patient’s side (lateral) rather than from the front (anterior) or the back (posterior). The lateral approach provides an alternate route to the spine that disturbs fewer structures and tissues. Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion is an option that a surgeon may use to treat patients with lumbar degenerative disc disease (DDD). The Skyhawk Lateral Interbody Fusion System and Skyhawk Lateral Plate System provide a complete solution for the surgeon to perform a Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion (L2-L5).
