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!

Zimmer IB?
Zimmer IB, 2 knee components were used.
This is the sentence but it doesn't make sense to me. What is IB? and should there be a comma after Zimmer or something?
Zimmer IB2
Subject: Zimmer IB2
I have spent sooo much time researching this. During a total knee arthroplasty: "Zimmer IB2 knee components were used." I get the impression IB2 has been discontinued, since even the Zimmer website does not list such an item. Have any of you transcribed a TKA using a Zimmer IB2 implant?

It sounds like it might be spondylolisthesis, which would be descriptive of the L5-S1 joint; where as anterolisthesis refers to a subluxation of one vertebral body upon another would be stated as "there is anterolisthesis of L5 on S1"
