SURGICAL TECHNIQUE
COALES-AC Interbody Fusion Cage
1. PATIENT POSITIONING AND EXPOSURE
Position the patient in a supine position on a radiolucent
operating table. Ensure that the neck of the patient is in
a sagittally neutral position and supported by a cushion.
When treating C6-C7 make sure that the shoulders do
not limit the x-ray monitoring. For all cases, both vertebrae
should be completely visible.
2. EXPOSURE AND DECOMPRESSION
Locate the correct operative level under radiographic control
and incise. Expose the intervertebral disc and the adjacent
vertebral bodies through a standard anterior approach to the
cervical spine.
Prepare the fusion site following the appropriate technique
for the given indication.
3. SEGMENT DISTRACTION
Attach the distraction pin and distraction pin
driver, and then insert the distraction pin into
vertebral body. Amount the distractor onto
the pin, and perform segmental distraction.
Distraction of the segment is essential for
restoring disc height and for providing good
access to the intervertebral space.
                                                                01

4. ENDPLATE PREPARATION
When the discectomy is complete, remove the superficial
cartilaginous layers of the endplates to expose bleeding
bone by using scalprum.
         12016030      Scalprum
5. IMPLANT SIZE DETERMINATION
Attach the trial spacer and implant inserter, insert the trial
spacer into the intervertebral space. If necessary, controlled
and light hammering with the mallet can be used to help
advance the trial spacer into the intervertebral disc space. It
should be noted that the convex side of the trial implant must
be pointed to the cranial side when insertion.
       12016040      Implant Inserter
6. IMPLANT PREPARATION
Attach the implant to the inserter and fill the cage with
autologous bone or bone graft substitute.
The cancellous bone impactor can be used to firmly pack the
autologous or bone graft substitute into the implant cavity.
                                                                  02

7. IMPLANT INSERTION
Confirm the implant is securely attached. Carefully insert the
implant into the distracted segment, ensuring that the
orientation of the implant is correct. The implant is etched
with an arrow pointing cranially on lateral wall to indicate the
correct cranial/caudal alignment.
If necessary, controlled and light hammering with the mallet
can be used to help advance the implant into the
intervertebral disc space.
Once the cage reaches the ideal position, the distractor can
be removed.
8. CREATE FIRST PILOT HOLE
The angled awl is designed for cephalic pilot hole preparation.

9. INSERT FIRST SCREW
Use the jointed screw driver and stabilizer to insert the
cephalic screw. The stabilizer is used to stabilize the
jointed screw driver when insert the screw.
10. CREATE SECOND PILOT HOLE
Use the straight awl to create the caudal pilot hole.
