anterior cervical, lateral lumbar and anterior lumbar plates
Anterior/Lateral Plating
The use of anterior cervical, anterior or lateral lumbar plates is commonly used to augment interbody fusions. It has been shown to significantly increase construct stability. Microporous surface editing of plates enhances bony on-growth and long-term stability.

Plates for ACDF, DLIF and ALIF surgeries can significantly increase construct stability by enhancing bone ongrowth, which in turn can be accomplished by adding micro porous surface features.
