Problem

Spinal fusion, a common surgical intervention for spinal disorders, can lead to disadvantages such as loss of spinal mobility, risk of adjacent segment degeneration, prolonged recovery, and limited future treatment options. Current solutions often necessitate fusion as the primary or last resort, which may not be ideal for all patients.

Solution

Moving Spine AG offers Vertebropexy, a novel surgical technique for dynamic spinal stabilization based on ligamentous reinforcement, providing a new treatment category within the continuum of care for spinal disorders. Unlike spinal fusion, Vertebropexy preserves spinal motion, reduces stress on adjacent segments, and allows for shorter recovery times due to its less invasive nature. The technique utilizes smaller incisions and specialized instruments to minimize tissue disruption, potentially decreasing postoperative pain, blood loss, and the risk of complications. By maintaining some degree of motion in the affected area, Vertebropexy enhances overall functionality and reduces stress on adjacent spinal segments, contributing to a more natural feeling and greater range of motion for patients. The procedure leaves all conventional treatment options open for the future.

Target Audience

The primary target audience includes spine surgeons and medical professionals seeking innovative, less invasive solutions for treating spinal disorders, as well as patients who may benefit from motion-preserving alternatives to spinal fusion.

Features

Vertebropexy: A surgical technique based on ligamentous reinforcement of the spinal segment for dynamic stabilization.
