Spineart today announced that its ROMEO®2 25D deformity screw was used for the first time in a spinal deformity surgery. The surgery was performed successfully at the University of California, Irvine Medical Center by Dr. Nitin Bhatia, Chief of Spinal Surgery, and Dr. S. Samuel Bederman, Fellowship-trained orthopaedic spine surgeon specializing in complex deformity reconstruction and degenerative disorders. “The use of the ROMEO®2 25D deformity screw allowed us to correct the patients scoliosis more safely and effectively than may have otherwise been possible,” said Dr. Bhatia.
The development of the ROMEO®2 25D deformity pedicle screw marks a technological leap forward in treating complex spinal deformities. The new innovative screw conveniently combines the advantages of a monaxial and polyaxial screw and assists in coronal corrections by segmentally pulling the spine to match a contoured rod and in axial correction by de-rotating the vertebral body during rod reduction. When using the ROMEO®2 25D deformity screw, forces are spread over multiple levels which help reduce the risk of screw pullout during reduction maneuvers.
