ABSTRACT:
The implantable correctant of a spinal curvature of the present invention comprises a flat rod made from an elastic material and shaped as an arc, said rod being positioned on one side of the spinous processes with its convexity towards the convexity of the spine, and a device for fixing the rod on the spine, the device being adapted for such a fixation of the rod that the latter gets partially straightened to build up a force for the spine to rectify. The method for treatment of a spine curvature, according to the present invention, consists in that two incisions are made, one in the area of the thoracic spine and the other in the area of the lumbar spine on the convex side thereof, the spine is exposed at the incised places by being separated from the adjacent muscles, whereupon the rod is inserted into the incision in the area of the lumbar spine and pushed, towards the incision in the area of the thoracic spine, using the enclosed technique, lengthwise the spine while separating the surrounding soft tissues, after which the rod is positioned with its convexity towards the convexity of the spine and retained on the latter by the fixation device; this done the operative wounds are stitched by applying the layer by layer technique.
