Subject: Name of a spinal cage, neurosurgery
This sounds new - sounds like a "Bengal" cage. It's not in my Stedman's Surgical Words, Third Edition, not in my Stedman's on line. I tried Googling it, which usually works, could not find anything. Does anyone know the proper spelling for this? - Thanks!

In an operative report for a cervical laminectomy and fusion, the doc says "the screw holes that had been placed were placed using the s/l Howard On technique with 30 degrees lateral and 15 degree cephalad angulation from the center-center position.
Maybe the word I'm looking for is Howard An because it sounds like he say a-n right after he says the word technique, as if he's spelling An for me. I can't document this anywhere in my Google search efforts though.

Zimmer TM-100 cage used in back surgery
Subject: Zimmer TM-100 cage used in back surgery
I'm doing a report for placement of a Zimmer TM-100 ______foam cage at the C4-5 level. Neuro reports of this sort take me so long because I have such a hard time finding and documenting the instrumentation that they use! I've checked my reference books and googled, to no avail. I can't seem to figure out the first part of the 'foam' word for this cage. It sounds kinda' like zylofoam, tanofoam or tilofoam. Arghhhh!
