M-2‚ Anterior Plate System

Introduced in 1998, the M-2‚ Anterior Plate system is intended to be an upper thoracic complement to the University Plate system but it can also be used as a thoracolumbar plate in small stature patients. One unique feature of this system is that it allows for two types of construct assemblies: a 2 bolt and 2 screw construct or a 4 screw (all screw) construct. Construct configuration is a surgical decision that may depend on the pathology and related biomechanics, bone density, local anatomy and plate positioning, the relationship or proximity of hardware to vital structures or simply the surgeon's preference.
