ABSTRACT:
A tool and method for derotating a scoliotic spine while it is being manipulated from a scoliotic configuration to a kyphotic configuration. The tool is used to apply a derotating force to the convex side of the scoliotic spine. The method uses the tool to reduce the derotation of a scoliotic spine.
