“For many years orthopedic implants were developed for patients with good bone stock. Recently it has become clear that these implants have a decreased performance when implanted in bone with low density, such as in osteoporosis. Reduced performance in osteoporotic bone is not unexpected because of the reduced quality of the peri-implant bone and the reduced bone-implant contact area.”

PATIENT MATCHED DEXA IMPLANTS™
What’s your T-Score?
DEXA Technology™ is designed to create implants that match a patient’s bone density, and promote bone in-growth while maintaining the biomechanical structure and bone support.
Patented DEXA Technology™
What are DEXA Technology™ implants? Color-coded orthopedic and spinal implants built with unique internal structures based on a DEXA Scan/T-score of patients allowing for the best bone fusion treatment and most favorable outcome based on that patient’s bone density.
Options
Aurora Spine’s new DEXA Technology™ will provide surgeons with additional solutions in selecting the right implant for their patients to overcome common osteoporosis challenges faced in traditional surgical treatments.
