Posterior Cervical Screw System
The Posterior Cervical Screw System is an orthopedic implant intended for use in fusion procedures of the cervical spine, craniocervical junction, and/or cervicothoracic junction, indicated for spinal fractures and dislocations, deformities, instabilities, failed fusions, tumors, inflammatory disorders, spinal degeneration, facet degeneration with instability, and reconstruction following decompression for radiculopathy or myelopathy. It may also provide temporary stabilization in patients with cervical spine tumors when life expectancy is insufficient for fusion achievement. It is classified as FDA Class 2 (Special Controls), requiring 510(k) clearance, under product code NKG and regulation 21 CFR 888.3075 in the Orthopedic specialty. The device is flagged as an implant but is not life-sustaining.

Device Characteristics
Definition
Posterior cervical screw systems are intended for use in fusion procedures of the cervical spine and/or craniocervical junction and/or cervicothoracic junction for: 1) spinal fractures and dislocations; 2) deformities; 3) instabilities; 4) failed previous fusions; 5) tumors; 6) inflammatory disorders; 7) spinal degeneration, 8) facet degeneration with instability; and 9) reconstruction following decompression to treat radiculopathy and/or myelopathy. These systems are also intended to stabilize the spine in the absence of fusion for a limited time period in patients with tumors involving the cervical spine in whom life expectancy is of insufficient duration to permit achievement of fusion.
