Abstract: A skeletal fixation apparatus may include two or more bodies that are attached to two or more screws that have been inserted into vertebral bodies associated with a patient. The apparatus may also include two or more cylindrical members that are attached to the bodies to control the movement or alignment of the bodies when the skeletal fixation apparatus is being installed in the patient. The apparatus may further include a rod that includes a first curvature and a second curvature. The first curvature may be different than the second curvature and may be based on a medical diagnosis associated with stabilizing the vertebral bodies. The second curvature may enable the bodies to be immovably fastened to the rod in a manner that precludes the cylindrical members from contacting each other or causing a false torque condition to exist when the skeletal fixation apparatus is installed in the patient.

Abstract translation: 骨骼固定装置可以包括两个或更多个附接到已经插入到与患者相关联的椎体中的两个或更多个螺钉的主体。 该装置还可以包括两个或更多个圆柱形构件，当柱体固定装置安装在患者体内时，该圆柱形构件附接到主体以控制身体的移动或对准。 该装置还可以包括包括第一曲率和第二曲率的杆。 第一曲率可以不同于第二曲率，并且可以基于与稳定椎体相关联的医学诊断。 第二曲率可以使得当骨架固定装置安装在患者体内时，体以不排除圆柱形构件彼此接触或导致存在假扭转状态的方式将身体固定地固定到杆上。
