Spinal Research
To stay at the cutting edge of spinal surgery, TiTaMED is reinvesting significant sums for continuous improvement of their spinal instrumentation. We believe a strong Research and Development component is the only way to ensure innovation.

Scoliosis Study
If you are a doctor interested in scoliosis research or wanting more information on the unique application of our system for scoliosis correction, both posterior and anterior, please Contact Us.
Case Studies
The first deformity correction surgery using the TiTaMED system was done in Cape Town, South Africa in 1998. For anterior thoraco - lumbar and lumbar surgery - a single rod and uniaxial screws are used. Rotation of the rod within the uniaxial screws, simultaneously corrects the scoliosis, lordosis and rotation without excessive bone metal interface stress. Posterior correction may be achived with a combination of pedicle screws, hooks and sublaminar wires using single or double rod constructs.
