VERTELIFT-T Anterior thoracolumbar corpectomy cage

Overview

VERTELIFT-T is an expandable corpectomy cage made of titanium alloy, for anterior thoracolumbar reconstruction after part or all of a vertebral body has been resected. It is placed closed and then lengthened in situ by turning a centre piece. The centre piece moves both end pieces by the same distance at once.

Design rationale

Bidirectional in-situ expansion

A dual-threaded mechanism lengthens the cage from both ends at the same time. The implant grows by equal amounts towards the upper and lower vertebra.

Pre-angled end surfaces

Straight and 6° angled versions are offered. The angled end surfaces are intended to follow sagittal alignment and to increase contact with the vertebral endplate.

Teeth, thread and graft space

Teeth at the extremities are designed to grip the adjacent endplates and resist displacement. The windowed body leaves room for bone graft inside the cage.

Locking after distraction

A lock screw locks the end pieces to the centre piece, so the height reached during distraction is held by the locked mechanism.

Indications

Primary or secondary tumours of the thoracic or lumbar spine
Fracture of a thoracic or lumbar vertebral body
Post-traumatic kyphosis
Degenerative or infectious diseases, where the resection of parts of vertebral bodies is indicated
