Compared with the traditional spinal fixation system,K-Rod II series solves the problem of the stress shielding effect. The feature of flexible cable rod is similar to the natural mobility of a human body, which can avoid degenerative lesions of adjacent vertebras.
In addition to relieving the compressed nervous system, it can also provide dynamic stabilization of the vertebral body and improve the patient’s quality of life after the operation.
Features
- Dynamic stabilization
The system is designed to preserve natural movements of vertebrae during flexion, extension, lateral bending, and rotation.
- Maintain the intervertebral height
- Provide support and stability for vertebral bodies
- Easy-to-use
The surgical technique of K-Rod II is the same as general spinal pedicle screw fixation surgery.
About Pedicle Screw/Rod–Based Dynamic Stabilization Devices
Dynamic stabilization is a surgical technique designed to allow for some movement of the spine, while maintaining enough stability to prevent too much movement. Pedicle-based dynamic devices were first designed to stabilize the abnormal segment and to unload degenerated discs and facet joints, while maintaining the same level of normal motion.By unloading the pressure on the degenerated disc and facets, pedicle-based dynamic devices have the potential to reduce pain associated with these anatomical structures. Furthermore, these devices can be used to prevent adjacent-segment disease, either by replacing the whole construct with dynamic rods or by “topping off” the rigid instrumented segment with pedicle-based dynamic devices, avoiding an abrupt change from a rigid construct to the more mobile adjacent segment. It has also been argued that using pedicle-based dynamic devices can promote better fusion because of micromovements across endplates, and can protect from implant failure because of better load sharing through the implant. Finally, these devices can be used to stabilize posterior iatrogenic destabilizing surgery, such as wide laminectomy and facetectomy.
