Silhouette® Spinal Fixation System
Spinal fusion surgery takes pressure off the nerves that are causing pain, by restoring the alignment of the spine or the space between the vertebrae, and then stabilizing and fusing the spine. The Silhouette® Spinal Fixation System uses safe, self-tapping screws that can be placed with fewer steps than other methods.
