Скачать или смотреть Cervical Standalones: The Lag Screw Lesson They Don’t Teach

In cervical standalones, “ease of use” won’t beat physics. This breakdown covers why lag screws matter (true endplate compression), why 4 vs 2 screws is a distraction, how shims complicate indications, and the difference between FDA “approved” vs 510(k) “cleared.” Then the kicker: even great engineering dies without sales execution. Perfect for spine surgeons, MedTech PMs, and reps building real adoption strategies .

Lag screws create implant–endplate compression; motion kills osseointegration and invites fibrous ingrowth .

Two larger lag screws vs four non-lag screws: stability depends on compression, not just count or diameter .

Shims and “standalone” labeling: device-level 510(k) clearance vs specific indication nuances; language matters in the OR and with patients .

Market share case study: a “solved” design with integrated plate and cleared shims still stalled—because sales, training, and messaging win adoption
