Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey (April, 2023) - Dr. Joshua Rovner, a Board Certified Orthopedic & Spine Surgeon with Progressive Spine & Orthopaedics, recently completed his 500th implantation using Centinel Spine’s STALIF C Stand-Alone Cervical Fusion family of devices. Starting in 2014 with the original STALIF C device, he recently reached this milestone at the new Progressive Surgical Center (www.progressivesurgicalcenter.com) in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey with STALIF C FLX, the latest in 3D Printed technology.
Traditional treatment options for patients have typically included anterior cervical discectomy and fusion surgery with a plate and cage, performed to relieve the symptoms associated with cervical disc disease. As medical technology continues to evolve, Rovner has trusted the proven STALIF design with its advanced material options.
“The stand-alone anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) approach enables me to avoid placing a plate on the front of my patient’s spine, resulting in a proven 40% reduction in surgical time1 with a smaller incision and reduced risk of sustained long-term or later presenting dysphagia5,6,” stated Rovner. “The STALIF family of devices is proven to enhance fusion rates for my patients across one & multiple levels2,3,4, while also allowing them to return sooner to their daily activities.”
While not all patients are candidates for this specific procedure, Rovner and his team are dedicated to finding the best solution for chronic pain and spinal conditions thru a patient-centered, and progressive approach to care.
