The answer is easy-we choose for you. All metal implants have their inherent advantages and disadvantages. Some have slightly better strength characteristics and better imaging qualities, while others have much better characteristics to correct deformity. Any implant can adequately do the job it was designed to do, which is to hold your spine in place while the bone fuses around it. All metal implants can break if fusion is not achieved. We choose the metal implant that best suits your case.
