INSTRUMENTATION

Instrumentation, the use of plates and screws, has been developed specifically to increase the stability to the spine and to improve rates of successful spinal fusion. Because bone tends to fuse more effectively in an environment where there is little motion, instrumentation works by limiting the motion at the fused segment.
