Stability of long multiple-rod constructs and dual-rod constructs in the thoracic spine: a biomechanical cadaveric study
Spinal fusion to correct spinal deformity is typically performed with a 2-rod construct spanning the targeted area of fusion. More evidence is starting to emerge around the utility of multiple-rod constructs (typically 3 or more rods) to increase the stiffness and stability of a spinal fusion …
