Scoliosis Awareness Month

SIGNUS speaks up for Scoliosis on the occasion of Scoliosis Awareness Month - which starts today!
As part of the DIPLOMAT® Deformity system, the infralaminar hooks provide the ideal solution for treating spinal deformities:
◾ the hook-based system ensures the secure positioning of the implants
◾ it provides for a less traumatic surgery due to reduced surgery time compared to systems based on pedicle screws
◾ A secure anchorage is given due to fixation of the hooks to the lamina. Their stability is comparable to that of pedicle
screws.*
◾ The hook-based system provides for a safe and straightforward as well as slow and continuous correction
