Medtronic has introduced Vertex Select Reconstruction System in the US to treat patients with degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, fracture, dislocation, failed previous fusions and or tumors.

When a patient has a spinal condition that requires fusion or a procedure that must be performed from the back of the spine, also known as a posterior approach, the Vertex System contains implants and an instrument set for performing this surgical procedure.

When paired with the Vertex Select Occipitocervical Module this system comprises a comprehensive posterior cervical-upper thoracic spinal system that offers adjustability through multiple plate designs, rods, screws, and hooks that gives surgeons more options during surgery, enabling them to tailor the procedure to each patient’s needs.

The Spinal and Biologics Business at Medtronic is committed to advancing the treatment of spinal conditions. The Spinal business collaborates with surgeons, researchers across the globe to offer products and technologies for neurological, orthopaedic and spinal conditions.
