SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR COMPRESSING AND DISTRACTING VERTEBRAE OF THE SPINAL COLUMN

摘要

Spinal surgical systems include a compressor (40, 90) mountable to a first vertebra and positionable relative to a fulcrum (70, 120) mountable to a second vertebra. The compressor (40, 90) and fulcrum (70, 120) are manipulated relative to one another to compress the first and second vertebrae. The systems further include a distractor (140) mountable to a first vertebra and positionable relative to a fulcrum (70, 120) mountable to a second vertebra. The distractor (140) and fulcrum (70, 120) are manipulated relative to one another to distract the first and second vertebrae.
