METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CORRECTING SPONDYLOLISTHESIS FROM THE LATERIAL APPROACH

摘要

A method for correcting spondylolisthesis from the lateral approach is provided in which a pair of insertion members (30, 32) are inserted laterally into upper and lower vertebrae, a connecting member (34) is affixed to the insertion members (30, 32), and a rotating force is applied to the connecting member to encourage the upper and lower vertebrae into a desired position relative to one another.
