Resorbable Release Mechanism for a Surgical Tether and Methods of Use |
摘要 |
The present application is directed to tethers and methods of use. The tether is attached with anchors to bony members within the patient. The tether applies a tensile force to the bony members to reduce and/or eliminate the abnormality of the bony members. The tether includes a release mechanism with a resorbable material that initially maintains the tether in a shortened orientation. The release mechanism is eventually releases the tether to a lengthened orientation. The release mechanism may prevent the need for a subsequent surgery to release tension from the tether as the patient grows.
