Raylytic (Leipzig, Germany), a leader in AI-powered analysis of patient x-rays has conducted a review of early surgeries performed with Axis Spine’s Axis-ALIF implant. The early surgeries, performed by Dr. Harvinder Bhatti at Atlanta Spine Clinic (Atlanta, GA), were measured across several parameters. The study showed excellent maintenance of height and angle with the Axis-ALIF cage over time.
Axis’ proprietary wedge-within-a wedge insertion methodology places a spinal implant with much less force than competitor devices reducing the risks of damage to the spine. The design aims to provide surgeons with an implant that achieves and maintains superior spinal alignment.
Further surgeon series will be analyzed using Raylytic’s software and Axis anticipates publishing these results in the coming year.
Improved spinal alignment is linked with improved clinical outcomes. The failure to achieve or maintain alignment is associated with an increased rate of re-operation. Up to 10x according to studies performed by the International Spine Study Group (include references).
