Vitality 5.5X20MM Mono Screw Vitality [Pack of 1]

The Vitality Spinal Fixation System is a thoracolumbar and sacroiliac fixation system. The system consists of a variety of screw types, iliac screws, connectors and rods to achieve an implant construct as necessary for the individual case. The system includes instruments for inserting, securing and removing the implants. The implant system is intended to be removed after solid fusion has occurred.

Depending on the spinal pathology being treated, a surgeon may choose to utilize different types of pedicle screws. Polyaxial screws are generally the most commonly utilized screw. Uniplanar screws will most often be utilized at the apex of a scoliotic curve because they are fixed in the medial-lateral plane. Uniplanar screws provide additional stability during vertebral body derotation maneuvers to help restore global balance. Monoaxial screws can be utilized at the apex of a scoliotic curve as they also provide additional stability during vertebral body derotation maneuvers.
