Product Overview
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
As an addition to the Firebird® Spinal Fixation System, the JANUS® Midline Fixation Screw from Orthofix provides surgeons with the option of a midline approach.
The JANUS Midline Fixation Screw is designed to achieve more cortical bone purchase in the medial to lateral trajectory when compared to traditional pedicle screws.
