Mark McFarland, MD, of the Orthopaedic and Spine Center in Newport News, Va., performed a successful outpatient spine surgery using SpineFrontier's Less Exposure Surgery technology.
Here are five takeaways:
1. Dr. McFarland used SpineFrontier's updated angled driver design with its A-CIFT SoloFuse-P technology to complete a C4-6 anterior cervical discectomy and fusion.
2. SpineFrontier's A-CIFT SoloFuse-P is a Less Exposure Surgery technology, featuring dual screw constructs, a large graft window, large diameter screws and agile instrumentations.
3. The system's zero-profile implant and all Peek-Optima design minimize tissue disruption. Dr. McFarland commented, "The newly updated angled driver further enhances ease of use and simplicity of the system."
4. The patient who suffered from a central broad based disc protrusion at C4-6 was discharged from Newport News, Va.-based Mary Immaculate Hospital within two hours following the procedure.
5. Dr. McFarland specializes in spine injuries and disorders. He underwent fellowship training at the Florida Spine Institute in Clearwater and is a member of the American College of Osteopathic Surgeons.
