Abstract

A segmented rod assembly for aligning a spine having a plurality of vertebrae, including a rod, including a plurality of segments, the plurality of segments having at least a first segment arranged tobe slidingly secured to a first vertebra of the spine, a second segment arranged to be fixedly secured to a second vertebra of the spine, and a third segment arranged between the first and second segments to be connected to a third vertebra of the spine, a tensioning member arranged within the plurality of segments, the tensioning member having a first end secured to the first segment and a second end.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to spinal alignment, and more specifically to a segmental alignment rod assembly for performing progressive three-dimensional alignment of a spine that deviates from a normal posture due to pathological reasons. Background technique [0002] Scoliosis is a disease that causes abnormal curvature of the spine or spine. Patients with scoliosis develop abnormal curvatures (lateral curvatures) on either side of the body's midline, and the bones of the spine twist to each other like corkscrews. [0003] The Greek doctor Hippocrates coined the term scoliosis and designed various forms of external brackets and stands to support or stretch the abnormally curved spine. Since animals may also suffer from scoliosis, there is no doubt that it is an abnormality that has existed since the emergence of vertebrates. It is estimated that about 3% of people are tortured, which means that more than 200 million people in the world live with this a...
