A patent application has been submitted for a new spinal fixation system that aims to improve current devices used in orthopedic and neurological surgery. The system includes an expandable disc replacement body with adjustable angles between its walls, bone-screw receiving sections, an adjustment mechanism, and a pliable hinge. The goal of the invention is to provide optimal rigidity and compression for bone healing, ultimately improving the fusion process in spinal surgery. The patent application also outlines a method for fixing adjacent vertebrae using the spinal fixation system, which involves obtaining a medical image of the spine, defining the dimensions of the disc space, inserting the system, and adjusting the angle between the walls to match the corrected dimensions.
