The TransFasten Posterior SI Fusion System was developed in conjunction with Robert Lins, M.D., Orthopedic Spine Surgeon at The Center for Bone & Joint Surgery of the Palm Beaches.The TransFasten technique is intended to provide stabilization of the SI joint in a minimally invasive technique due to our unique proprietary site preparation using a form of mortise and tenon carpentry.
Benefits:
- Posterior Approach – Potentially reduces operative time and Neurovascular complications.
- Posterior Fusion Site Preparation – Allows for efficient preparation of the joint and press fit implant placement.
- A form of “Mortise and Tenon” Stabilization of the SI Joint (a proven and established method of Architectural Stabilization) – The geometry of the TransFasten implant across the joint is designed to stabilize the motion segment without disrupting the anatomy and creating new pain generators.
- Structural Allograft Implant – Custom allograft implant includes a large trans-joint graft window for accommodating a biologic fusion
