Abstract:
A spine stabilization system is provided. The system utilizes a self-cutting rod having a sharp cutting edge that can be anchored to a patient's spine with pedicle screws. The system can be percutaneously delivered, low profile, and allow cutting of surrounding tissue rather than simply spreading the tissue apart during rod insertion.
