Expandable Vertebral Body Replacement
Bone defects – caused by tumors, fractures or infections – cause significant stress on the implant used for reconstruction due to the resection of weight bearing structures. Secure support for the cortical bone and a reliable mechanism are the prerequisites that must be fulfilled by any vertebral body replacement device. With POSEIDON® the risk of implant subsidence is minimized by the use of endplates that are as large as possible, which also ensures rotational stability for the implant.
POSEIDON’s secure mechanical system prevents the VBR from dislocation caused by loss of height.
