IMPORTANT NOTE TO OPERATING SURGEON  DESCRIPTION  ISOLA , VSP , MOSS MIAMI, TIMX and MONARCH spinal implants, like any other temporary internal fixation devices, have a finite useful life. The patient’s activity level has a significant impact on this useful life. Your patient must be informed that any activity increases the risk of loosening, bending, or breaking of the implant components. It is essential to instruct patients about restrictions to their activities in the postoperative period and to examine patients postoperatively to evaluate the development of the fusion mass and the status of the implant components. Even if solid bone fusion occurs, implant components may nevertheless bend, break, or loosen. Therefore, the patient must be made aware that implant components may bend, break, or loosen even though restrictions in activity are followed.  DePuy Spine implants are NOT compatible with implants from other manufacturers unless otherwise specified.  ®  ®  ®  ®  ®  Because of the limitations imposed by anatomic considerations and modern surgical materials, metallic implants cannot be made to last indefinitely. Their purpose is to provide temporary internal support while the fusion mass is consolidating. These types of implants are more likely to fail if no bone graft is used, if a pseudarthrosis develops, or if patients have severe or multiple preoperative curves. The surgeon may remove these implants after bone fusion occurs. The possibility of a second surgical procedure must be discussed with the patient, and the risks associated with a second surgical procedure must also be discussed. If the implants do break, the decision to remove them must be made by the physician who 2019-10-28 12:59:53  Implants from each of the DePuy Spine systems are NOT interchangeable with implants from other DePuy Spine systems unless otherwise specified. Implants designed to interface with a specific rod diameter are NOT compatible with other rod diameters unless otherwise specified. Implants designed to interface with a specific rod diameter are compatible with rods from other systems having the same diameter and same material per the table below. Dual diameter rod components can have a combination of rod diameters corresponding to the existing straight rod diameters from each of the Spine Systems listed in the table below. These dual diameter rods can be used to connect rod constructs formed from the Original System to rod constructs from the Secondary System per the table below.
