VendorProcedureNotes
StrykerOcciptocervicalYukon system. No complaints about the screws. No complaints re: occipital plate. No jointed rods are available, had to introduce sharp bends with in situ benders.
 Lumbar

Nice system, no complaints about the screws or rods. Didn't do a TLIF.
Reducing towers didn't work as well as those from Depuy. The rocker was better than the towers. 
Serrato screws have a nice bite.  The screw heads are hex.
