The LONESTAR CSA implant is a stand-alone spacer system designed to provide the biomechanical strength to a traditional or minimal invasive ACDF procedure with less disruption of patient anatomy and preserve the anatomical profile. The LONESTAR Cervical Stand Alone system helps to preserve the natural sagittal anatomic profile of the cervical spine while providing anterior column support and stability.LONESTAR® provides structural stability in skeletally mature individuals following discectomy. The implant is composed of a Titanium Alloy cover plate, screws, and interbody spacer. LONESTAR interbody spacers are available in heights ranging from 6mm to 14mm, and widths of 15mm and 17mm. The available depths of the implant are 13mm and 15mm, offered in 0˚ and 7˚ of lordosis. LONESTAR is manufactured with a PEEK posterior portion and a titanium anterior portion used in conjunction with screws that allow intradiscal fixation to the vertebral body and titanium cover plates to prevent screw back out.

About Orthofix
Orthofix International began in Verona, Italy, eventually becoming a group of companies specialized in the design and manufacture of orthopedic and spine medical devices.Orthofix International stemmed from the work of orthopedic researcher Giovanni de Bastiani of the University of Verona in Italy. Toward the end of the 1970s, Bastiani proposed the concept of “dynamization,” based on the natural ability of bone to repair itself. http://www.orthofix.com
