GOALS OF SPINAL INSTRUMENTATION
To support the spine when its structural integrity is severely
compromised (iatrogenic, traumatic, infectious, or tumorous, etc).
CORRECTION SPINAL STABILITY
To prevent progression or to maintain the achieved profile after
correction of spinal deformities (scoliosis, kyphosis,
spondylolisthesis).
MAINTAIN STABILITY AFTER CORRECTION
To alleviate or eliminate pain originating from various anatomical
structures by achiving fusion or stiffening spine segments and thereby
diminishing movement.
ENHANCE SPINAL FUSION
THE EMERGE OF SPINAL FUSION &
INTRUMENTATION
Fred Albee and Russell Hibbs
published the first spinal fusion in
1911, for progressive deformities from
tuberculosis.
In 1914, Hibbs described operative
fusion and cast correction for the
treatment of Idiopathic Scoliosis.
Spinal fusion has now been extended
to treat various spinal conditions
including scoliosis, kyphosis,
fracture/dislocations, spondylolisthesis,
and intervertebral disc disease.
TYPES OF FUSION
FACTORS FOR CONSIDERATION
IN SPINE FUSION

bone disease, Growth factors, Electrical or ultrasonic stimulation
Systematic Factors:

Graft Factors
Material, Mechanical strength, Size, Location
Biomechanical Factors
Stability, Loading
SPINAL INSTRUMENTATION TYPES
Implantation Method:
Wiring, Hooks, Screws

PAUL HARRINGTON – 1950S
• The average correction of the scoliosis curve in the frontal plane was 54%. He
published a 4% rate of pseudarthrosis or non-union which was a significant
improvement when compared with previous fusions performed without instrumentation.
• These techniques were not without significant complications which included fracture
or failure of the instrumentation as well as degeneration or instability affecting
portions of the spine above or below the instrumentation
• The distraction forces of the Harrington instrumentation tended to decrease the amount
of lumbar lordosis (swayback) which led some patients to develop a “flat-back
syndrome”

ALLEN DWYER - 1964
Dwyer insert a specially
designed screw and staple unit
into each vertebral body at the
apex of spinal curvature.
A flexible, braided titanium-wire
cable then was passed through
holes in the heads of the
screws.
The compression was held by
crimping the screw heads into
the cable.
KLAUS ZIELKE - 1975
The Zielke system, developed in 1975, was the next step in the
development of ventral instrumentation.
The Zielke device connected transvertebral screws with a threaded rod
and nuts and was more rigid than the Dwyer cables.
This added both strength and the capacity for incremental correction
and derotation, permitting a more powerful correction.
The Zielke system produced a lower pseudarthrosis rate and
somewhat lower recurrence of the flat back syndrome.
In spite of these benefits, the system had many shortcomings. The
pseudarthrosis rate remained high when the system was used as a
stand-alone device but was lowered with supplementation of dorsal
fixation.
This system also suffered from the tendency to shorten the ventral
columns and to produce kyphosis.
ZIELKE SYSTEM + HARRINGTON
POSTERIOR ROD
KANEDA ANTERIOR SPINAL SYSTEM
Initiated and developed by
Kiyoshi Kaneda from Hokkaido
University, Sapporo, Japan.
It was frist used for anterior
stabilization after anterior
decompression in
thoracolumbar burst fractures
with neurologic deficits
Consisted two pieces of
vertebral plates with
tetraspikes, two rigid rods, four
screws, and eight nuts.
