Hope, thanks for posting. I've seen many Coflex procedures over the years (all the way back to when it was still called the Fixano-U!). It's an interesting device that can be used in a variety of configurations. While this can't be done yet in the US, it's been successfully implanted behind ADR, providing stabilization and limiting motion in a neutral range.

Interesting device.
