A modular spinal rod linkage system to provide rotational stability

The effect of cross linkage on the in vitro stability of paired Harrington distraction rods was studied in an unstable fracture model using calf spine segments. Cross linkage used in conjunction with sublaminar wires significantly improved torsional stability, improved lateral bending stability, and...

Zusammenfassung:The effect of cross linkage on the in vitro stability of paired Harrington distraction rods was studied in an unstable fracture model using calf spine segments. Cross linkage used in conjunction with sublaminar wires significantly improved torsional stability, improved lateral bending stability, and had no adverse affect on stability for axial, forward flexion, or extension loading compared to rods alone, rods with bridges, and wired rods.
