The Midline Fixation Procedure is designed to achieve more cortical bone purchase in the medial to lateral trajectory when compared to traditional pedicle screws. It takes no more time and clarifies the exposure of the lumbar transverse processes and intertransverse region. MidLine procedure minimize disruption to the nerves, muscles and tissue surrounding the surgery site. Today, we have updated the article including 15 Midline Cortical Systems:
1.- TiLock Cortical Spinal System | Genesys Spine
Posterior spine fusion with screw fixation is a common and reliable method of instrumentation of the spine for a variety of spine pathologies when the ultimate aim of surgery is the fixation of the spine to allow bony fusion. The mainstay of this kind of surgery has been the use of pedicle screw fixation. The trajectory of pedicle screws aims to transverse the pedicle down its anatomical axis, with a screw specifically designed for fixation in cancellous bone. More recently, Santoni et al., in 2009 proposed using an alternative trajectory, a cortical bone based fixation technique, which utilizes a different path down the pedicle with the aim of maximizing the contact between screw and cortical bone.
Posterior lumbar spine fusion using the cortical based trajectory has advantages over traditional pedicle screw techniques including reduced dissection and tissue trauma, increased biomechanical stability in both high and low quality bone and is thereby a valid alternative to traditional techniques.¹
The Genesys Spine TiLock® Cortical Spinal System is designed to provide surgeons and their patients with a robust, anatomy-conserving alternative to traditional pedicular fixation.
Features:
• Low-profile tulip head
• Over-the-wire insertion for a simple, less-invasive approach
• Reduced tulip head that allows for efficient screw placement with nominal bony removal
• Corticocancellous thread pattern for maximum fixation in bone
• Tapered cortical self-tapping thread for initial placement
2.-CENTERLINE | Life Spine
The CENTERLINE Thoracolumbar Spinal System is designed to perform a MidLine procedure minimizing disruption to the nerves, muscles and tissue surrounding the surgery site. The low profile Cobalt Chrome tulip head and cortical cancellous screw thread design conserves space without compromising strength.

- Low profile Cobalt Chrome tulip head and 4.75mm rods minimize space requirement without compromising strength
- Cortical cancellous thread design maximizes screw purchase
- Midline approach conserves anatomy surrounding the surgical site
