Pr. Dr. El Hindy, St.Christphorus Krankenhaus GmbH (Werne, Germany) performed the first European JULIET® Ti OL I/R surgery during which he did a 4 levels fusion from L2 to S1 using the Insert/Rotate Technique for the 2 lower levels. Pr. Dr. El Hindy noted that – “To add sufficient lordosis the “Insert/Rotate cage” offers a clear advantage. It is intuitive and very easy to use and I was positively surprised how smooth it could be rotated”.
JULIET®Ti OL I/R is designed to provide a straightforward solution in posterior surgery to add lordosis without overdistracting the disc. Ti-LIFE Technology is a structure that mimics the geometry of trabecular bone and is designed to promote bone in-growth. JULIET®Ti OL I/R features an overall reduction in material density, that optimizes medical imaging when making postoperative evaluations and is available in 6° and 12° lordosis.

Great news.
Congratulations prof Elhindi.
I had great experience with Juliet PEEK.
Looking forward to use this one.
I am not sure about rotation feature of this cage and potential endplate injury in osteoporosis.
