Precision access for cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine.
Lateral Mass Screw Preparation
A leading application for the Phasor Spine Drill is pilot hole creation for lateral mass screw placement. This procedure demands precise trajectory control to avoid both the vertebral artery and the exiting nerve root: areas where powered precision may provide distinct advantages including safety over manual drilling.
Advantages for lateral mass procedures:
- Controlled power maintains consistent trajectory and alignment
- Reduced surgeon fatigue versus manual hand drills
- Precise depth control with adjustable anti-plunge stopper
- Compatible with standard spine system drill guides
- Ideal for posterior cervical fusion and stabilization cases
The 2.40 mm short drill has become a preferred option for this procedure, allowing clean, reproducible pilot holes with minimal risk and consistent results across spine fusion cases.
