DePuy Synthes Spine has launched the SYNFIX® Evolution System, a new implant for stand-alone Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF). The SYNFIX Evolution System delivers biomechanical stability to promote fusion and restore function, coupled with instrumentation designed to optimize surgical workflow. The System offers a broad range of implant options to accommodate a variety of patient anatomies.

The use of stand-alone ALIF, in which the spine is accessed through the abdomen, is growing at a rate of 3 per cent each year globally thanks to reduced complication rates compared to fusion surgery performed through the patient’s back.[2] Multiple studies of SYNFIX® Implant technology show that it provides superior biomechanical stability compared to other stand-alone ALIF implants and equivalent biomechanical stability relative to lumbar fusion performed through the back.[1][3]

“Biomechanical stability in an implant is paramount,” said Alexandre Rasouli, of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. “It is the difference between a single stage surgery and a more involved multi-stage surgery that can increase complications and drive up costs.”
