Medtronic "altitude" expandable interbody cage. - Teardrop

Posted: Oct 26, 2011

This poor kid has a T12 burst fracture, and the doc is operating using a Medtronic altitude interbody expandable cage. Cannot find any such "altitude" thing. I found an LT-cage, but there that troublesome third syllable in "L-ti-tud." Anyone have a more updated ortho/neuro/spine reference? TIA!
