Abstract
The rod-sleeve method provides adjustable corrective forces in all directions so as to accomplish anatomic alignment and three-dimensional rigid fixation for acute spinal injuries. The authors studied a prospective series of 135 consecutive cases treated with this new technique. Results showed improved indirect canal decompression and neurologic recovery, few complications, and greater maintenance of correction than previously reported.Entities:
