Default Dynesys system

Anybody know anything about this?



Spinal Dynamic Stabilisation or Spinal Fusion?
Spinal Non Fusion Surgery with the Dynesys Dynamic Stabilisation System

This non-rigid, dynamic implant system is an alternative to fusion. Flexible materials between screws help to preserve anatomical structures, restore the healthy alignment of the vertebrae and relieve the weight overload on the vertebrae adjacent to the implant.

How can the Dynesys System help?

The Dynesys System is a pedicle-screw fixation system, an implant device consisting of a spacer, cord and pedicle screw. It offers a unique approach to stabilisation and mobilisation of the spine and pain relief -- a "dynamic" approach -- that relies on flexible materials and preserves much of the spinal anatomy.
