| Zusammenfassung: | A method for treating a spine includes creating a single minimally invasive incision in tissue; manipulating a lateral portion without manipulating a contralateral portion of the tissue to deliver fasteners and a rod through the incision, the fasteners being delivered along cortical trajectories disposed in alignment with vertebral levels; fastening the fasteners with the vertebral levels adjacent the lateral portion; connecting the rod with the fasteners; manipulating the contralateral portion without manipulating the lateral portion to deliver fasteners and a rod through the incision, the fasteners being delivered along cortical trajectories disposed in alignment with the vertebral levels; fastening the fasteners with the vertebral levels adjacent the contralateral portion; and connecting the rod with the fasteners. Systems and implants are disclosed. |
