The VENUS® Scoliosis System was specially designed for the correction and stabilisation of the spine in particularly complicated anatomies. The system complements the innovative design features of the Venus® Screw Rod fixation system. The Deformity Tower contained in the VENUS® Scoliosis System is used for the gentle correction and reduction of threedimensional deformities, including kyphosis or scoliosis. The correction can be performed on multiple levels in parallel.The transparent and clearly arranged instruments increase the handling safety of common operating methods, with demonstrably high biomechanical stability.
Features:
- Modular system
- Gentle reduction
- Optimal osseointegration
- Self-tapping thread
- Maximum biomechanical stability
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.
