Systems and methods for correcting a rotational bone deformity

摘要

Orthopedic apparatus and methods for correcting rotational deformities of a bone are disclosed. The apparatus may include a tether member capable of engaging a bone using a plurality of coupling members. In some aspects, the tether member can include a central band that may be disposed between a distal member and a proximal member. The proximal member can define a proximal aperture and the distal member can define a distal aperture. Moreover, the distal member can be configured to be engaged to a fixed segment of the bone using at least one of the coupling members and the proximal member can be configured to be engaged to a mobile segment of the bone using at least one other coupling member.
