Durango Stand-Alone is a modular, integrated plate and interbody system for anterior lumbar interbody fusion. The plate component is available in three configurations, with different screw positions and angles to tailor the implant to the patient’s anatomy and fixation demand. Each configuration offers four screws to maximize fixation while reducing the plate profile and accounting for patient anatomy.
Benefits:
Zero-Plate
- Flush with the anterior cortex to avoid interference with the great vessels
- 30° screw angles facilitate screw placement and purchase into the endplates of the vertebral bodies
Half-Plate
- Multiple screw positions and plate orientations to provide options to avoid soft tissues
- Low screw angle allows straight instruments to be used in the L5 vertebral body
Full-Plate
- Four low angle screws engaging the anterior cortex provide additional stability
- Very low-profile anterior lumbar plate
About ALIF Cages
Anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) is a spine surgery that involves approaching the spine from the front of the body to remove disc or bone material from in between two adjacent lumbar vertebrae. The disc material is then replaced by cage containing bone graft or bone morphogenetic protein.The ALIF cage maintains normal disc height as the bone graft fuses with the bone of the vertebrae above and below to stabilize the spine.
