Description

A spinal cord hook is a surgical tool that can be used in two main ways: to manipulate nerves during surgery or to stabilize the spine. A nerve hook is used in surgery to gently ensure a nerve is free from pressure. A spinal fusion hook is a type of instrument used in posterior spinal fusion to attach to a spinal rod and correct deformity by providing a point of fixation on the bone, such as a transverse process, lamina, or pedicle.
