Corpectomy vertebral prostheses

ATHLET® is a vertebral body replacement implant used for stabilization and reconstruction of the cervical spine (C3 – C7). It is used after cervical corpectomy with anterior access in case of instability and narrowing due to various underlying causes.

ATHLET® (from Greek - "competitor") can solve this challenge! Its unique design combines all the necessary features in one product, making it a winner in its field.

Material defects – caused by tumors, fractures or infections – put a lot of stress on implants inserted for reconstruction, as it is necessary to cut out the load-bearing structures. Structurally stable requirements for vertebral body replacement implants include adequate support for the cortical bone and reliable mechanics for the vertebral body replacement implant itself. With POSEIDON® ST, the risk of subsidence is minimized by the lower and upper plates, which are as large as possible to ensure the rotational stability of the implant. Reliable mechanics prevent displacement of the implant due to stress reduction at the ends of the plates.
