Introduction of the cages
The implant is mounted on the insertion
instrument. The insertion instrument may not be
screwed too tightly to the cage. After the implant
has been screwed on to the insertion instrument,
the cage is filled with bone graft by means of a
filler block.
Before the second cage is placed, the anterior
and medial sides of the intervertebral space are
filled with autogenous cancellous bone or with a
bone substitute material.
Note:
When using ADONIS® Exclusive, the cage does
not have to be filled with bone graft.
Adjustment of cage position
When the implant has been introduced, the cage
can be detached from the insertion instrument
and, if necessary, its positioning can be improved
with the same instrument.
The final location of the cage is checked by an
X-ray image. The presence of X-ray markers
enables the cage position to be precisely
determined in the sagittal, coronal and axial
planes.
Final compression
Final compression must be performed by means
of the dorsal instruments.
