Purpose
The CD Horizon Solera Spinal System
The CD HorizonTM SoleraTM Spinal System can be used to treat scoliosis, a condition in which the spine develops one or more abnormal, side-to-side curves that in turn may affect the body’s overall balance and alignment, as well as possibly lead to other physical and health problems.
Size and Placement
The CD Horizon Solera Spinal System consists of rods, hooks, and screws for implantation in the spine to correct the abnormal curvature. The system is available in multiple rod diameters and screw sizes so the surgeon can choose the appropriate size for the surgeon condition, anatomy, and activity level.
More Facts
The CD Horizon Solera Spinal System is made out of titanium or stainless steel implantable grade metal. The surgeon will choose which metal to use based on the severity of your scoliosis and what he or she is ultimately trying to achieve in the scoliosis correction. Patients should advise their doctors of any known metal allergies, notify the surgeon so that he or she can choose the appropriate metal for you.
