Spinal correction system

摘要

A spinal correction system comprises a first member defining a longitudinal axis and including an inner surface that defines a first cavity and a second cavity. A second member defines a longitudinal axis and includes an inner surface that defines a first cavity and a second cavity. The members are connected along a first axis disposed in substantially parallel relation to the longitudinal axes. At least one first implant support is configured for disposal within the first cavities. At least one second implant support is configured for disposal within the second cavities. The members are rotatable about the first axis to space apart the members such that the inner surfaces forcibly engage the supports in releasable fixation. Methods of use are disclosed.

1. A spinal correction system comprising:
a first apparatus comprising a first member defining a longitudinal axis and including a first end comprising a first inner surface that defines a first cavity and a second end comprising a second inner surface that defines a second cavity, the first end being fixed relative to the second end, and a second member defining a longitudinal axis and including a first end comprising a first inner surface that defines a first cavity and a second end comprising a second inner surface that defines a second cavity, the members being connected along a first axis disposed in substantially parallel relation to the longitudinal axes such that the first cavities are substantially aligned and the second cavities are substantially aligned; a second apparatus comprising a first member defining a longitudinal axis and including a first end comprising a first inner surface that defines a first cavity and a second end comprising a second inner surface that defines a second cavity, and a second member defining a longitudinal axis and including a first end comprising a first inner surface that defines a first cavity and a second end comprising a second inner surface that defines a second cavity, the members of the second apparatus being connected along a second axis disposed in substantially parallel relation to the longitudinal axes of the members of the second apparatus; a frame configured for disposal of the first and second apparatuses; a plurality of concave implant supports, each concave implant support configured for disposal within a respective cavity of the first apparatus; and a plurality of convex implant supports, each convex implant support configured for disposal within a respective cavity of the second apparatus, wherein the members of the first apparatus are rotatable about the first axis to space apart the members of the first apparatus such that the inner surfaces forcibly engage the concave implant supports in releasable fixation and the members of the second apparatus are rotatable about the second axis to space apart the members of the second apparatus such that the inner surfaces forcibly engage the convex implant supports in releasable fixation.
