About the FacetFuse:
The FacetFuse minimally invasive surgical technique means that in comparison to traditional surgery, it usually requires a small incision. The benefits of a small incision include considerably less blood loss in the operating room, less damage to the tissues, faster recovery and healing time, and less pain. These are some of the many advantages of the FacetFuse procedure when compared to others.

 

The FacetFuse System uses two small screws for each level of fusion, which means less hardware will be left in the body in comparison to other procedures. The FacetFuse screws and special high-retention washers are made from titanium, a very strong and light material that has been used in the aerospace industry for years. They are precision engineered to create a very strong bond with your bone, to ensure they stay tight and allow the bones to fuse (heal) together. The FacetFuse screws are considerably smaller in size and profile when compared to pedicle screws.
