Abstract
Various internal fixation devices have been developed and used clinically to stabilize unstable spines [1–3], regardless of whether the cause is congenital or acquired. The more popular posterior fixation devices are pedicular fixation types, such as the Zielke, Cotrel-Dubousset (C–D), Puno-Winter, Rogozinski, modular segmental spinal instrumentation (MOSS), and Graf systems. All these devices have been known to provide secure fixation if they are properly applied, though each device has its disadvantages.
