The CHARSPINE2 VD set of vertebral body derotation instrumentation, designed by the team of ChM specialists, has been developed to meet the challenges surgeons face in the treatment of complex deformations and to broaden the application of known and clinically proven CHARSPINE2 bar stabilization system.
The new system provides solutions to surgeons when treating spinal deformities (scoliosis). CHARSPINE2 VD utilizes the direct vertebral derotation technique that allows for three-dimensional correction of spinal disorders.
The system consists of sleeves and clamps that can be combined into blocks in any way ensuring the most effec-tive correction of deformity.The CHARSPINE2 VD instrument set has been especially designed for and is fully compatible with CHARSPINE2 bar stabilization system.
About Spinal Deformity
Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine that can occur in any age group. Scoliosis is a coronal plane (i.e. side to side) deformity occurring in children, adolescents, and adults. Symptoms vary with age of onset and severity of the curvature; cosmetic problems including sitting imbalance, breathing difficulty or delayed development is common findings in infants and young children. A rib hump, pelvic or shoulder height imbalance tend to common in the adolescent group. Intractable back pain, sciatica, leg weakness or numbness and gait difficulty are common reasons for surgical correction in adults.
Kyphosis is seen when a person’s spinal balance has moved too far forward to allow the spine to effectively carry the body weight without progressive deformity, pain or neurologic loss of function. Patients typically walk in a forward flexed posture being unable to stand up straight. This condition can also occur along with scoliosis causing Kyphoscoliosis.
