The FORTEZZA Spinal Stabilization System is intended for posterior, non-cervical fixation in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion for the following indications: degenerative disc disease (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); spondylolisthesis; trauma (i.e., fracture or dislocation); spinal stenosis; curvatures (i.e., scoliosis, kyphosis and/or lordosis); tumor: pseudarthrosis; and/or failed previous fusion. In addition, when used as a pedicle screw fixation system, the FORTEZZA Spinal Stabilization System is intended for skeletally mature patients with severe spondylolisthesis (Grades 3 and 4) of the fifth lumbar-first sacral, L5-S1 vertebra, who are receiving fusion by autogenous bone graft only, who are having the device attached to the lumbar and sacral spine (levels may be from L3 to the sacrum/ilum), who are having the device removed after the attainment of a solid fusion. When used for posterior non-cervical pedicle screw fixation in pediatric patients, the FORTEZZA Spinal Stabilization System are indicated as an adjunct to fusion to treat adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. The FORTEZZA Spinal Stabilization System is intended to be used with autograft and/or allograft. Pedicle screw fixation is limited to a posterior approach.

The FORTEZZA Spine Stabilization System consists of a variety of shapes and sizes of screws and 5.5 rods that can be rigidly locked in a variety of configurations, with each construct being tailor-made for the individual case. Fixation is provided via a posterior approach. The components are made from titanium alloy. Components of the system include straight and pre-bent rods, multi-axial screw.
