Patent

CA 2137660

Applicant's invention includes an apparatus and associated method for treating or managing spinal deformities, including scoliosis, abnormal kyphosis, vertebral fractures and tumors, through attachment of spinal rods to ribs adjacent to the spine, rather than to the spine itself. The attachment means are designed whereby the ribs are completely encircled once the rods and attachment means are fully implanted, thereby virtually eliminating the chance of inadvertent dislodging of the rods.
