Intended Use
When used as a pedicle screw fixation system of the non-cervical posterior spine in skeletally mature patients, the TSRH® Spinal System is intended for immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of the following acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine: (1) degenerative disc disease (as defined by back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies) (2) degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurologic impairment, (3) fracture, (4) dislocation, (5) scoliosis, (6) kyphosis, (7) spinal tumor, and (8) failed previous fusion (pseudarthrosis). In addition, when used as a pedicle screw fixation system, the TSRH® Spinal System is indicated for skeletally mature patients: (a) having severe spondylolisthesis (Grades 3 and 4) of the fifth lumbar-first sacral (L5-S1) vertebral joint; (b) who are receiving fusions using autogenous bone graft only; (c) who are having the device fixed or attached to the lumbar and sacral spine (L3 and below); and (4) who are having the device removed after the development of a solid fusion mass. When used as a posterior, non-cervical, non-pedicle screw fixation system, the TSRH® Spinal System is intended for the following indications: (1) degenerative disc disease (as defined by back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies), (2) spinal stenosis, (3) spondylolisthesis, (4) spinal deformities (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis), (5) fracture, (6) pseudarthrosis, (7) tumor resection, and/or (8) failed previous fusion. When used as an anterolateral/anterior system, the TSRH® Spinal System is intended for the following indications: (1) degenerative disc disease (as defined by back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies), (2) spinal stenosis, (3) spondylolisthesis, (4) spinal deformities (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis), (5) fracture, (6) pseudarthrosis, (7) tumor resection, and/or (8) failed previous fusion. The points of attachment are screw fixation into the anterolateral vertebral bodies of the lumbar and thoracic spine (T1-L5) and into anterior vertebral bodies of the cervical spine.
Device Story
TSRH® Spinal System is a modular orthopedic implant set comprising rods, hooks, screws, and cross-connectors; used for spinal stabilization and fusion. Components are surgically implanted by surgeons in clinical settings to treat spinal deformities or instabilities. System allows for rigid locking of constructs tailored to individual patient anatomy. Components are fabricated from stainless steel or titanium alloy. Device provides mechanical support to spinal segments to facilitate bone fusion; benefits include correction of spinal alignment and stabilization of unstable segments.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Components fabricated from stainless steel (ASTM F-138, ISO 5832-1/9) or titanium alloy (ASTM F-136, ISO 5832-3) or medical grade titanium (ASTM F67). Modular system with various rods, hooks, screws, and connectors. Sterile or non-sterile.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients requiring spinal immobilization/stabilization as an adjunct to fusion. Treats degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, fractures, dislocations, scoliosis, kyphosis, spinal tumors, spinal stenosis, and pseudarthrosis in thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine. Specific indications for severe L5-S1 spondylolisthesis (Grades 3-4) using autogenous bone graft.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A spinal interlaminal fixation orthosis is a device intended to be implanted made of an alloy, such as stainless steel, that consists of various hooks and a posteriorly placed compression or distraction rod. The device is implanted, usually across three adjacent vertebrae, to straighten and immobilize the spine to allow bone grafts to unite and fuse the vertebrae together. The device is used primarily in the treatment of scoliosis (a lateral curvature of the spine), but it also may be used in the treatment of fracture or dislocation of the spine, grades 3 and 4 of spondylolisthesis (a dislocation of the spinal column), and lower back syndrome.
