The CD HORIZON® SOLERA™ System is the first platform technology that enables surgeons to confidently and efficiently treat their patients by using:
- high strength, low profile multi-axial screws designed for use with multiple rod types
- the first-ever powered instruments being developed specifically for spinal implants
- minimally invasive techniques, navigation tools, and advanced reduction technology that arencompatible with the system
- implant traceability enhanced with inventory and billing management
From the thoracic spine to the ilium, the CD HORIZON® SOLERA™ Spinal System facilitates surgeon choice and flexibility across patient types with a variety of implant options for treating multiple spinal pathologies with one system. With its 4.75mm rod diameter, the system offers the opportunity to reduce the overall metal mass and implant profile without compromising construct integrity, as compared to CD HORIZON® LEGACY™ System 5.5mm Stainless Steel constructs. The technology platform offered with this system is backed by more than 25 years and 400,000 cases of CD HORIZON® clinical experience and Medtronic expertise.

About Spinal Deformity
Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine that can occur in any age group. Scoliosis is a coronal plane (i.e. side to side) deformity occurring in children, adolescents, and adults. Symptoms vary with age of onset and severity of the curvature; cosmetic problems including sitting imbalance, breathing difficulty or delayed development is common findings in infants and young children. A rib hump, pelvic or shoulder height imbalance tend to common in the adolescent group. Intractable back pain, sciatica, leg weakness or numbness and gait difficulty are common reasons for surgical correction in adults.
Kyphosis is seen when a person’s spinal balance has moved too far forward to allow the spine to effectively carry the body weight without progressive deformity, pain or neurologic loss of function. Patients typically walk in a forward flexed posture being unable to stand up straight. This condition can also occur along with scoliosis causing Kyphoscoliosis.
