RULE FOR SCREW LENGTH Vs CAGE HEIGHT
- The entry point of our screws is fixed whatever the cage’s height is ,
and that is why we have one single unique cage holder for all cages.
But is means as well that higher is the cage, less the screw will go
over the cage’s limit to penetrate into the endplate. This rule must
then be respected to ensure proper mechanical resistance to pull
out.

Discectomy & Endplate Preparation Trial Selection and Preparation

The Cage Holder has a fixed depth stop located

at 2 mm from the anterior wall of the vertebra
Check under fluoroscopic control:
The posterior side of the cage trial should
be a minimum of 1 mm from the posterior
edge of the vertebra. If it is not the case,
choose a cage trial of inferior depth
The trial implant should be as large as
possible, while allowing stable seating on
the vertebral endplate

the consistency between the selected trial

and the disc heights of the adjacent levels.

 SURGICAL TECHNIQUE
Insert progressively the cage centered laterally in the IMPORTANT: For cages with height of 9mm, the minimum screw length
intersomatic space taking care to orientate the laser mark allowed is 16 mm. Do not use shorter screws on H9 mm cages.
“TOP” toward the cranial side of the patient and under
fluoroscopy in order to check its correct positioning. We recommend to start by implanting the screw that will be inserted in the
cranial vertebra.
The posterior side of the cage should be a
minimum of 1 mm from the posterior
edge of the vertebra
Remove the Distractor (and the Distractions
Pins if not at 6 mm from endplate and fully
centered) to avoid any conflict during the
bone screw pathway preparation

Cage Insertion Insertion of the drill guide on the hole for cranial screw

Insert the screw into the previously prepared pathway but do not
screw it fully. Leave the head of the screws a bit out from the cage.

through the guide prior to screw insertion.

Insert the Guide on the cage-holder on the

 FAQ

 FAQ

- Whay a cage in 3DTi ?

See Slides on materials located above in this presentation

- Why did you choose an anatomical profiles and not a wedge profile?
Less invasive for the patient / Less risk of endplate fracture because less endplate preparation needed
Less preparation for the surgeon
All options remais opened in case of revision because the anatomy has been kept as natural as possible
and not « modified »

- Why a drilling guide?

To guarantee that the screw will remain in the limit of polyaxiality of the system and that the head of the
screw will be entirely drown into the the cage’s hole and thus really locked when the mechanism will
cover the head.

21
Confidential – For Internal use Only
 FAQ
- Why do you recommand to start with the cranial screw ?
To avoid that the tip of the screw slipps on the concavity located on the inferior endplate of the
superior vertebra creating a space due to distraction effect in between the cage and the endplate that
coud lead to pseudarthrosis. If the cage is not attached yet on the inferior vertebra when you implant
the cranial screw, the cage will be « pressed » against the superior vertebra due to screwing reducing
the risk to have a void remaining. Our conceptors have mentioned this problem with competitive
products.

- Why not to prepare the 2 pre-holes with the guide at the same time/step
and to screw both screws after ?
When the 1st screw is screwed in, the cage could be a bit pushed posteriorly due to the screwing effect, and in this
case, the surgeon would have lost of sight the entry point of the 2nd pre-hole if he had prepared it before the 1st screw
insertion. He would be then oblideg to prepare a 2nd pre-hole in the same vertebra which could fragilize the vertebral
body or would enlarge the pre-hole prepared anteriorly and thus reducing the stability/pull-out strength of the 2nd screw.
