 TSRH® Spinal System -
TSRH® Spinal System is a universal rod and hook system with
applications in the degenerative, deformity and tumor/trauma segments
of the spinal market. It is intended to help provide immobilization and
stabilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion of the thoracic,
lumbar, and/or sacral spine. It was developed in 1985 at Texas Scottish
Rite Hospital in Dallas, Texas.
The TSRH® Spinal System implant components can be
rigidly locked into a variety of configurations, with each construct being
tailor made for the individual case.
Initially, the TSRH® Spinal System consisted of various
sizes of CROSSLINK® Plates used to connect two spinal rods to increase
the overall strength of long deformity constructs. In 1986, hooks were
added to the system and gave additional options in performing correction
of spinal deformities. Variable angle pedicle screws were added in 1992,
and the "gold standard" was established with regard to strength.
Today the TSRH® Spinal System offset and central
post hooks in both stainless steel and titanium. The system offers a wide
variety of sizes and specific types of hooks including large laminar,
pedicle, and transverse process.
