Nasser Ani, MD, used Malden, Mass.-based SpineFrontier's biocompatible Les Arena-C(HA) cervical cage and the two-level Les Invue Max cervical plate to perform a minimally invasive spinal fusion.
Here is what you need to know.
1. He coupled the devices with the "less exposure surgery" technique, which uses an approach to address problems without causing collateral damage. The technique claims to be less invasive than MIS.
2. Dr. Ani said SpineFrontier's cage and plate combination was the safest and most efficient way to stabilize his patient's spine.
3. The minimally invasive surgery allows patients to return home hours after surgery, and return to work two to three weeks later.
4. Dr. Ani is an orthopedic and spine surgeon at the Hazlet-N.J.-based Any Medical Group.
