Product Description
As representative of another emerging technology in the minimally invasive field, the facet fixation market will experience growth trends similar to the spinous process fixation market. The market has experienced high initial growth over the last five years, which has been attributed to increasing awareness of the procedure, as well the entrance of new competitors, and new products, into the market.
Traditionally, these devices have been implanted through open surgery; however, a growing number of these devices are being implanted using minimally invasive surgery (MIS) techniques. MIS greatly reduces surgical damage to the patient and is much less invasive than an open procedure. MIS for spinal fusion is made possible by complex and innovative surgical technology, allowing implantation of posterior screw/rod and interbody devices with minimal surgical damage or harm to the patient.
