Surgeons Complete Michigan’s First Stealth AXIS Spinal Fusion
In Port Huron, orthopedic spine surgeon Dr. Ryan Goodmanson and the McLaren Port Huron surgical team completed Michigan’s first spinal fusion using the Medtronic Stealth AXIS platform last week. The advanced navigation system delivers real-time 3-D visualization and precise guidance for implant placement while limiting disruption to nearby tissue. Local patients dealing with degenerative disc disease or spinal instability can now obtain this high-level care close to home instead of traveling elsewhere. The technology expands safer, more accurate options for the Blue Water Region.
