neon³ is a modular screw-rod system for dorsal stabilization of the human spine from the occipitocervical transition to the upper thoracic region.
Looking for a screw-rod system for dorsal stabilization from occiput up to the upper thoracic spine to offer your patients a procedure tailored to their needs?
The modular occipitocervical screw-rod system neon³ is used for surgical dorsal stabilization, fixation, and correction of misalignment of the human cervical spine and includes the occiptocervical and the cervicothoracic transitions if necessary.
The system offers very high level of variability and allows for all common screw placement techniques.
The preparation and the screw insertion can also be carried out percutaneously using the provided trocar system.
In addition, the preparation of the surgical procedure can be carried out with the help of Brainlab navigation, for which the drill guide is fitted with a special adapter. The result is precise screw placement that is gentle on the soft tissue.
Furthermore, neon³ can be combined with the thoracolumbosacral screw-rod system uCentum, thus supporting a complete treatment for spinal procedures.
The preparation and the screw insertion can also be carried out percutaneously using the provided trocar system.
The drill guide is fitted with a special adapter so that the preparation of the surgical procedure can be carried out with the help of Brainlab navigation.
The cannulated screws can be safely positioned in a controlled manner via drill wires and
guidewires.
The system offers very high variability and supports all comon screw placement techniques.
The occipitocervical stabilization is achieved by implanting plates in the occiput that are connected with rods and screws placed in C1/C2 as required by the patient.
In general, the entry point from C3 to C7 is just below the caudal facet joint of the cranial vertebra and far laterally. The convergence of the screws is 40 to 50° on average, but may deviate significantly in individual cases. The screw direction in C2 deviates somewhat with little convergence.
Transpedicular instrumentation stabilizes the thoracic spine by inserting screws into the spinal pedicle. In the upper and middle thoracic spine, the entry point is generally at the superior edge of the transverse process, at the deepest point of the concavity. The screw direction is slightly descending ventrally in relation to the end plate.
The entry point is 1–2 mm medial and cranial of the center of the lateral mass. The screw should be introduced with a lateral divergence of 20–30° and in parallel to the superior facet joint in the direction of the anterolateral boundary of the superior articular process. In this way, the longest possible screw can be used with low risk of injury to the neural and vascular structures.
The entry point of the screw is in the middle of the lateral mass. The screw should be introduced with a lateral divergence of 30° and a 15° incline.
For screw placement in the lateral mass in C1, the screw proceeds in the sagittal plane at a slight incline in relation to the joint space C1/C2 and at a right angle to the frontal plane. The entry point is below the posterior arch of the atlas where it transitions into the lateral mass C1.
The entry point for the transarticular screw fixation C1/C2 is on the straight, sagittal line that runs centrally through the isthmus to the inferior border of the caudal articular process C2, 2 mm cranial and lateral of the medial border. The screws can be placed using an Atlas claw.
The C2 translaminar screw placement with bilateral crossing screws is a rigid and technically simple fixation. The entry point is at the transition of the spinous process of C2 to the right lamina, close to the anterior boundary of the lamina of C2.
Screws
Lateral mass screws (LMS)
Long-shaft screws (LSS)
Pedicle screws (PS)
In the neon³™ system, the thoracic pedicle screws with Ø 5.5 mm are provided with lateral perforations for cement augmentation.

Crosslinks
Offset connector
A lateral displacement can be offset to the rod using offset connectors in order to reduce the bending effort.
Implants are available sterile and non-sterile.
