Spinal instrumentation
Spinal instrumentation has become an integral component in the management of various spinal disorders.
The role of spine fusion instrumentation is to provide additional spinal stability while helping the fusion set up.
Various forms of instrumentation (medical devices) have been developed with the goal of improving the rates of successful spinal fusion. Because bone tends to fuse more effectively in an environment where there is little motion, instrumentation helps the fusion set up by limiting the motion at the fused segment.
