The TiLock Pedicle Screw System is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of the following acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine: degenerative disc disease (DDD) (defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies); spondylolisthesis; trauma (i.e. fracture or dislocation); spinal stenosis; curvatures (i.e. scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis); tumor; pseudoarthrosis; and failed previous fusion).

Reason for Recall

The recall is being initiated because MK Precision (the Circular Lock Screw supplier) notified Genesys Spine that a portion (less than 20%) of the Circular Lock Screws in lot 11406 were manufactured using Stainless Steel in the center Post instead of the specified titanium alloy.
