Spinal Resources Inc. Unveils Innovative Rods for Spinal Deformity Surgery to Combat PJK and PJF

Advancements in Spinal Surgery: A Closer Look at Bezier Parametric Curve Rods

Spinal deformity surgery is fraught with challenges, particularly concerning complications like Proximal Junctional Kyphosis (PJK) and Proximal Junctional Failure (PJF). These issues have long posed a significant risk for patients following spinal correction procedures. Traditional methodologies aimed at alleviating these complications have not yielded the desired improvements. In a groundbreaking study published in the esteemed journal "Spine Deformity", Spinal Resources Inc. (SRI) has introduced a revolutionary rod system that holds the potential to transform patient outcomes in spinal surgery.

Understanding the Challenge of PJK and PJF

PJK and PJF are complications primarily encountered by spinal deformity surgeons, presenting unique biomechanical challenges. Several techniques, including tethering and cement augmentation, have been employed with limited success in reducing the rates of these complications. Among the various influencing factors, the stiffness of the surgical construct—governed largely by the choice of rods—stands out as a parameter that surgeons can effectively manage.

Standard rods with a fixed diameter, typically ranging from 5.5mm to 6.35mm, have proven inadequate. These devices often lack the necessary strength to correct deformities while simultaneously allowing for a biomechanically accommodating transition at the junction of fixed and non-fixed spinal segments
