Proximal Junction and Transitional Mechanics and Effect of a Novel Tether Pedicle Screw in Long-Segment Spinal Instrumentation
The TPS effectively distributed the loads across 3 adjacent levels and softened the load transition compared with the rigid construct. The TPS also showed the potential to stress-shield the upper instrumented vertebra (T10) and reduce the end-level screw loosening risk.
