What's your experience with Vertiflex Superion Implant?

Posted by esperanza22 @esperanza22, Jul 27, 2020

Has anyone had the Veriflex Superion implant. I had it and it did not seem to work for me. Would appreciate any one that has information. Thanks

My mom had Vertiflex procedure a year ago and the device broke shortly after implantation. Has anyone else had that happen to them?

@ p061919 = Are you sure the device (titanium) broke and not a piece of bone?

Mine was implanted on may 2 2023 and it has been a nightmare for me

I just got back from the doctor to get a facet shot. I had some bad news that the implant slipped and that is probably why it is not doing me any good. He is going to call the company. He said it is not dangerous, but nor is it doing me any good. He was busy doing surgery so I could not have a full discussion. I am so upset. I made an appointment for next Thursday as that is the day he sits and consults.

Sorry to hear about implant slipping. I have been going to my pain and management doctor for the past two months now, I had two series of the facet shots and that didn't work for me so now my doctor suggested the vertiflex procedure. I was looking at how it's worked for people.
