Post-operatively adjustable angled rod

摘要: A jointed rod assembly for use in a spinal fixation construct involves caudal portion connectable to an adjustment mechanism, and cranial the mechanism. The mechanism is configured rotate portions relative one another about joint axis that generally perpendicular longitudinal axes of portions. may be dimensioned compatible with other pieces hardware commonly used fixation, such as bone anchors (e.g., pedicle screws), occipital plates, reducers, others. are composed strong, rigid, non-absorbable, biocompatible material. advantageously systems methods fixation.
