发明名称 METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING PEDICLE SCREW FUSION SURGERY
摘要 A medical device adapted to facilitate pedicle screw fusion surgery is disclosed herein. The medical device includes a proximal end and a sharp distal end opposite the proximal end. The distal end is configured to allow the medical device to function as an awl. The medical device also includes a body portion defined between the proximal end and the distal end, and a threaded section defined by the body portion near the distal end. The threaded section is configured to allow the medical device to function as a tap. Accordingly, the medical device provides a single tool adapted to function as both an awl and a tap. A corresponding method for securing a pedicle screw to a vertebra is also provided.
