Product Overview
A common sentiment among spine surgeons engaged in the treatment of pediatric patients and small stature patients is that larger deformities in smaller anatomies are one of the most challenging issues in spinal surgery. Concerns over implant profile and implant selection, along with the ability to choose instrumentation based on patient size and pathology are fairly common when treating this patient group.
To address these concerns, DePuy Synthes Spine has developed a complete rod-hook-screw system specifically designed for these smaller anatomies: the EXPEDIUM® 4.5 System.
The EXPEDIUM 4.5 System exhibits the lowest profile in our Thoracolumbar Portfolio, making it a useful option for cases in which the surgeon is challenged with implant protrusion and cosmetic issues. In addition, the system combines a variety of screw and hook designs (e.g., polyaxial, uniplanar, etc) and rod materials (i.e., Ti, SS and CoCr Alloy) to offer flexibility for the treatment of even the most complex cases.
