TiTaMED's Research History

TiTaMED is focused on developing new products with the emphasis on "Non Fusion Technology". We are currently working on a uniquely designed artificial disc and dynamic fixators.

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 Ti-TaMED 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.
