Paragraph Number

42

One spinal fixation technique includes using orthopedic contouring rods which run generally parallel to the spine. This technique often involves an invasive surgical procedure to expose the spine and attach pedicle screws to the pedicles of the appropriate vertebrae. The pedicle screws may be configured to receive the orthopedic contouring rod which can be bent to achieve the desired curvature of the spinal column.
