Sublaminar banding as an adjunct to pedicle screw-rod constructs: a review and technical note on novel hybrid
Abstract:
Sublaminar implants that encircle cortical bone are well-established adjuncts to pedicle screw-rod constructs in pediatric deformity surgery. Sublaminar bands (SLBs) in particular carry the advantage of relatively greater bone contact surface area as compared to wires and pullout loads that are independent of bone mineral density, in contrast to pedicle screws. Whereas the relevant technical considerations have been reported for pediatric deformity correction, an understanding of the relative procedural specifics of these techniques is missing for adult spinal deformity (ASD), despite several case series that have used distinct posterior tethering techniques for proximal junctional kyphosis prevention. In this paper, the authors summarize the relevant literature and describe a novel technique wherein bilateral tensioned SLBs are introduced at the nonfused proximal junctional level of long-segment ASD constructs.

Construction of Root Locus
For positive gain values, the root locus exists on the real axis to the left of an odd number of finite open-loop poles or zeros. The root locus starts at the open-loop poles and traces the paths of the closed-loop poles as the gain...
Construction of Frequency Distribution
First, make a table with two columns—one with the title of the data that needs to be organized, and the other column for frequency. [Draw a third column for tally marks if needed]. Then, take a look at the items given in the data set and decide if an ungrouped frequency distribution table or a grouped frequency distribution table would be more suitable. If there are large sets of different values, then it is...

Self-Locking Screw
A square-threaded screw jack carrying a load is considered self-locking if the screw retains its position even after the moment applied to it is removed.
