Unstable injuries of the spine may result from fracture of a vertebral body, vertebral tumours or post-traumatic deformities. In such cases, restoration of the load bearing capacity of the anterior column and of the spinal balance is indicated. Techniques that use autologous graft only, harvested from the patient’s iliac crest, can be associated with complications such as pain from the donor site or graft dislocation. An alternative for the surgical treatment of these patients is the use of a load bearing implant for complete or partial vertebral replacement.

The main objective for the development of CAGE-LOC Cage was to design a versatile system for the treatment of vertebral fractures at a wide range of spinal levels. A key feature is the ability to extend to the des ired height intra-operatively. The extension mechanism of CAGE-LOC Cage is extremely simple and intuitive, thereby exerting distraction forces onto the anterior column of the spine. Repeated adjustment of height is straightforward and therefore allows for accurate restoration of the spinal curvature. The extension mechanism is securely locked by screws.
