Medtronic, in coordination with GlobalCastMD, brings experts and educators together virtually to discuss the latest innovation in SI Fusion surgery. The surgeon panel will lead discussions and education on a unique posterior approach using the fully enabled Rialto™ SI Fusion system that’s compatible with Navigation, power and certain biologics. A global virtual audience and satellite viewing centers will be able to interact live via chat, encouraging discussion and debate.
Most SI fusion devices today are assisted by muscle/tissue retractors due to the transgluteal/lateral approach. Medtronic’s Rialto SI fusion procedure uses a posterior approach to the SI Joint, which has inherent benefits for surgeons and patients*.
EASIER ACCESS*
Implant passes through less tissue and muscle during implantation.
BETTER VISIBILITY*
Posterior access provides better visibility, especially when treating larger patients.
LESS INVASIVE*
Fewer muscles are disrupted using our posterior approach.
The RIALTO™ SI Fusion System is intended for sacroiliac joint fusion for conditions including sacroiliac joint disruptions and degenerative sacroiliitis. Autograft and/or allograft may be placed in conjunction with the RIALTO™ SI Fusion System.
