Currently, most spinal fusions are evaluated by x-ray imaging, but due to how bone grows and solidifies over time, x-ray imaging takes 4 months or longer to provide a definitive answer. This leaves patients on disability or with restrictions on their activities for much longer than necessary. Our “smart rod” product will reduce this period in half to a mere 8 weeks, while also providing feedback on issues that may delay or prevent fusion, allowing for immediate intervention.
