“Larger deformities in smaller anatomies are still one of the most challenging issues in spinal surgery.”

Statements like this highlight a common sentiment among spine surgeons engaged in the treatment of small stature patients. Concerns over implant profile and implant selection, along with the ability to choose instrumentation based on patient size and pathology are fairly common when treating this patient group.

Seeking to eliminate these concerns, DePuy Spine has developed the most complete rod-hook-screw system specifically designed for these smaller anatomies: the EXPEDIUM® 4.5 Spine System.

As with every product in the EXPEDIUM Portfolio, the clinical experience and pathology knowledge of renowned spine surgeons is reflected in every aspect of the product. Equally important, early clinical experience gained from the use of the Beta Set in over 20 cases to date, has produced excellent feedback on the performance of the new system.
