Intervertebral-body internal spinal fixation system

Definition

A group of sterile implantable devices designed to apply force to a series of vertebrae to correct scoliosis (lateral curvature of the spine) or other spinal conditions. The system components are typically made of medical grade titanium and consists of various vertebral plates that are punched into each of a series of vertebral bodies. An eye-type screw is inserted in a hole in the centre of each plate, and a braided cable is threaded through each eye-type screw. The cable is tightened with a tension device and is fastened or crimped at each eye-type screw.
