TSRH instrumentation: evolution of a new system. Part 1. Texas Scottish Rite Hospital

The TSRH System was designed at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Crippled Children in Dallas, Texas, to correct spinal deformities in a three-dimensional plane. The system's greatest advantage is its application in spinal revisions. The other advantage to the TSRH system is the crosslink system used in linking paralleling rods for spinal fusion. The TSRH spinal system is paralleled to the Cotrel-Dubousset (CD) system. Advantages of both systems are discussed in this article.
