About Expandable Corpectomy Devices
Each year, there are more than 150,000 spinal fractures in North America*. There is an estimated 10,000 to 12,000 spinal cord injuries every year and approximately 39% of these injuries are cause by motor vehicle accidents4. These non-elective or trauma surgeries sometimes require additional spinal structural support which is when the Expandable Corpectomy Device are used.Another indication or use for these Devices is in the treatment of cancer patients. If the cancer metastasizes or spreads in the spine, the surgeon may opt to remove the affected vertebral bodies and replace them with an Expandable Corpectomy Device.*(http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1264191-overview)
