Biomechanical Analysis of a Pedicle Screw-Rod System with a Novel Cross-Link Configuration

Study DesignThe strength effects of a pedicle screw-rod system supplemented with a novel cross-link configuration were biomechanically evaluated in porcine spines.PurposeTo assess the biomechanical differences between a conventional cross-link pedicle screw-rod system versus a novel cross-link instr...
