USS Fracture System

Part of the USS Universal Spine System


Key Features & Benefits


The unique screw thread with dual core provides stable anchorage and immediate purchase between screw and bone. Cancellous bone is compressed between the thread for high pull-out resistance.
Free angular range of ± 18° allows for a controlled reduction.
Ligamental resistance becomes perceptible due to the independent distraction with the USS spreader forceps.

Indications

For the correction and/or stabilization of fractures, tumors, infections of the thoracolumbar spine, and for posttraumatic deformities.


Contraindications

Not recommended for the use above T6; additional anterior defect filling is required in comminuted fractures.
