System and method for correction of a spinal disorder |
摘要 |
A surgical system and method for fusionless correction of a spine disorder are provided. The method comprising the steps of: providing access to a spine; providing a longitudinal element extending between a first end including a first fixation element and a second end including a second fixation element; engaging the first fixation element with a first costovertebral surface and engaging the second fixation element with a second costovertebral surface such that the longitudinal element is disposed in a costotransverse orientation along a selected section of the spine; and preventing growth of the selected section of the spine with the longitudinal element. |

1. A method for fusionless correction of a spine disorder, the method comprising the steps of:
accessing a spine; disposing a first end of a longitudinal element in a first aperture of a first fixation element and disposing a second end of the longitudinal element in a second aperture of a second fixation element; engaging a first planar surface of the first fixation element with a first costovertebral surface of a first vertebra, threading the longitudinal element in the costotransverse orientation through a plurality of costovertebral spaces disposed along a plurality of vertebral levels, and engaging a second planar surface of the second fixation element with a second costovertebral surface of a second vertebra such that the first and second planar surfaces face one another and the longitudinal element is disposed in a costotransverse orientation along a selected section of the spine; and constraining growth of the selected section of the spine with the longitudinal element. |
