摘要： The present application discloses methods for treating a multi-level spinal deformity. The methods may include inserting a tether in a minimally-invasive manner through an entrance incision. The tether is moved along the spine and positioned to reduce and/or eliminate the deformity. Once the tether is positioned along the spine, the tether may be secured to the vertebral members. In one embodiment, the tether includes a rigid section and a flexible section. The tether may be positioned within the spine with the rigid section extending along a first length of the spine and the flexible section extending along a second length of the spine. The different sections provide different corrective forces to the spine to reduce and/or eliminate the spinal deformity. In one embodiment, the rigid section extends along an apex of the spinal deformity.

摘要翻译： 本申请公开了治疗多层次脊柱畸形的方法。 所述方法可包括通过入口切口以微创方式插入系绳。 系绳沿着脊柱移动并定位成减少和/或消除畸形。 一旦系绳沿着脊柱定位，系绳可以固定到椎骨构件。 在一个实施例中，系链包括刚性部分和柔性部分。 系绳可以定位在脊柱内，刚性部分沿着脊柱的第一长度延伸，柔性部分沿脊柱的第二长度延伸。 不同的部分为脊柱提供不同的矫正力以减少和/或消除脊柱畸形。 在一个实施例中，刚性部分沿着脊柱畸形的顶点延伸。
