Nexxt Spine’s First Case with MATRIXX SA Cervical TL

Nexxt Spine announced the first implantation of the NEXXT MATRIXX® SA Cervical Turn-Lock (TL) System, which launched earlier this year. The 3D laser printed titanium implant features varying pore sizes from 300μ, 500μ and 700μ.

NEXXT MATRIXX SA Cervical TL is designed to eliminate the need for traditional plate and screw fixation while providing a zero-profile construct in anterior cervical fusion procedures. It offers a 90° one step turn lock to mitigate screw back out, and self-guided instrumentation to increase surgeon confidence and procedural efficiency.

The attending surgeon noted, “The NEXXT MATRIXX® SA Cervical Turn-Lock System allowed for C7/T1 anterior decompression and stabilization adjacent to the previous fusion without the need for plate removal and associated larger surgical exposure. The patient’s anatomy provided a challenging approach above the sternal notch, but once the discectomy was completed the implant placement provided additional distraction and indirect decompression of the bilateral neural foramen. The design of the interbody device incorporating the NEXXT MATRIXX® lattice allowed for generous biologic material placement, and lattice for bony ingrowth.”
