KING OF PRUSSIA, PA – Dr. Jeffery Rowe of Main Line Spine recently completed the first Minuteman® G3 procedure in Pennsylvania. The Minuteman® G3 was developed by Spinal Simplicity LLC as an innovative, minimally invasive, simple solution to treat complex spinal disorders.
The device is intended for the temporary fixation of the thoracic, lumbar and sacral spine while awaiting bony fusion to occur. It is designed for attachment to the posterior non-cervical spine at the spinous processes through its bilateral locking plates. It is intended for use with bone graft material placed within the device.
The Minuteman® G3 is indicated to treat patients with Degenerative Disc Disease, Lumbar Spinal Stenosis, and Spondylolisthesis. Generally, patients who could be eligible for Minuteman have not found lasting relief with conservative therapies like Physical Therapy, Epidural Steroid Injections, Medial Branch Blocks, and Radio Frequency Ablations.
Dr. Rowe views the Minuteman as one of the options he now considers to treat his patients’ back and leg pain.
