Methylmethacrylate as an adjunct in spinal instrumentation

L D Herron, E G Dawson

    The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. American Volume
    |October 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Methylmethacrylate fixation supplemented Harrington-rod instrumentation in scoliosis patients reduced hook dislodgement risks. This technique showed no complications in a sixteen-patient study with medium-term follow-up.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Spinal Instrumentation
    • Biomaterials

    Background:

    • Scoliosis treatment often involves spinal instrumentation like Harrington rods.
    • Hook dislodgement is a potential complication, especially with poor bone stock or patient non-compliance.
    • Methylmethacrylate offers potential for enhanced fixation.
