Pearls
The appropriate magnitude of correction and global sagittal alignment are critical to achieving successful
outcomes and avoiding the development of PJK.An SVA of 4 cm is a reasonable goal, especially for those
patientsover60yearsofage.

Pitfalls

Although no consensus exists on preventing PJK, surgeons must pay close attention to the integrity of the

There is no consensus on how to select metallic materials for spinal deformity
correction today, and spine surgeons depend on their personal experience through their
medicalcareer.This chapterdiscusses metallic spinalimplants andthebiomechanics of
thedeformity correction ofthe spine.It is imperativethat practitionersbe familiarwith

MechanicalPropertiesofMetals
Metalshaveacommonpatternofstress–straincurveconsistingoftheelasticdeformation

zoneand the plasticdeformation zone.In theelastic deformationzone, thestress–strain
relationshipislinearandthemetaldeformsinproportiontotheappliedforce(Fig.10.1).
After the yieldpoint,the stress–strain curve of metals becomes nonlinear.Ifincreasing
force is applied to a metallic implant, the implant will reach the ultimate strength and
finally rupture or break. Although all metals follow the same pattern of stress–strain
relationship, there are differences in their yield strength and ultimate strength and the
slope ofthe stress–strain curve. Within the elasticdeformation zone, metals are ableto
returntotheoriginalshapeaftertheforceisremoved.Oncemetalswereover-benttotheir
plastic deformation zone, the metal is not able to return to the original shape and
permanent deformation of metallic implants occurs. If plastic deformation of the rods
occursafterscoliosiscorrection,significantlossofcorrectionmayresult,andtheoriginal
purpose of correcting the spinal deformity would not be fulfilled. For this reason, it is
importantforspinesurgeonstoknowhowmuchforceisputonthespinalimplantsduring
correction procedures and mechanical responses of the metallic implants to the forces
createdbycorrectionprocedures.

The metals currently used for spinal deformity surgery include stainless steel, pure
titanium,titaniumalloys,and Co-Cralloys.Themechanicalpropertiesof eachmetalare
shown in Fig. 10.2. Commercial pure titanium (cpTi) has four grades based on its
mechanicalproperties.Grade1hasthehighestvalueofelongationatbreak,butithasthe

capabilityof elongationdecreases. Thetensile strengthof Ti alloysis muchhigher than

Becausethe metallicrods suppliedby medicaldevice companiesfor useduring surgery
are straight,the surgeonneeds to bendthemby hand tothe desired contourjust before
performingthe correctionprocedure.Withregardto therods’mechanical properties,the
yieldstrength oftitaniumalloy rodswitha 5.5-mmdiameterdecreases from803.9N to
324.0N(40.3%)afterthree-pointbendingby20degrees.

Co-Cr alloy rods with a 6.0-mm diameter showed the same tendency as the 6.0-mm
titanium alloy rods, with their yield significantly decreasing to 56.4% after 20-degree
three-point bending. If multiple rod bending operations were performed, even the
mechanically stiffestCo-Cr rods can exhibit a significant reduction in their mechanical
properties.Spine surgeonsshould beaware ofthe reductionin mechanicalproperties of

ViscoelasticityoftheSpine
Thespinalcolumn,consistingofbone,ligaments,andintervertebraldisks,isacomposite
material with significant viscoelasticity. Viscoelasticmaterials show two biomechanical
characteristics:creepphenomenonandstressrelaxation.Thecreepphenomenonstatesthat
when stress is held constant, the strain on the material increases with time. Stress
relaxationstatesthatwhenthestrainisheldconstant,thestressdecreaseswithtime.
Consideringtheviscoelasticpropertyofthespine,rapidcorrectionproceduressuchas
quickrod rotationmaneuversmay makethespine muchstifferandmay hinderefficient
spinal correction, resulting in a lower correction rate than the surgeon anticipated
preoperatively. Thus, destabilization procedures, such as bilateral facetectomies,
diskectomies, and release of costotransverse ligaments, are very important in obtaining
bettercorrection.Besidesthesetechnicalissues,thebiomechanicalprinciplesindicatethat
slowrodrotationandtranslationprocedurescanobtainbetterfinalcorrectionrates.After
the correction procedure is completed,the rod within an elastic deformation range will

CorrectionProceduresforAdolescentIdiopathicScoliosis
There are many surgical procedures to correct adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS)
reported after the introduction of the Harrington instrumentation. The Cobb angle
correctiononanteroposterior(AP)radiographswas40%withHarringtonrods,55%with
thedual-rodmultihooksystem(CD,Cotrl-Duboussetinstrument),and65%withthedual-
rod multiplepediclescrew constructs in the coronalplane. Recent studies reported that
pediclescrewconstructsinthesagittalplaneincreasedthelordosisofthethoracicspine.

While the surgeon is performing the direct vertebral rotation technique to decrease

eventuallycausesdekyphosisinthethoracicspine.

There have been several attempts to create thoracic kyphosis by posterior spinal
instrumentationsurgery.Becauseatitanium rodis mechanicallyweaker thana stainless
steel or Co-Cr rod, some surgeons utilized stainless steel or Co-Cr rods rather than
titaniumrodssoasnottoyieldtotheforceontherods.Anothermethodwastouseanin-
siturodbendingtechniqueafter asinglerod-rotationtocreatethoracickyphosis. Oneof
the problems ofan in-situ rod-bending procedure is thatamuch greater load would be
applied to the pedicle screws around the area of rod bending, which may increase the
possibility of vertebral fractures or screw loosening due to a higher concentration of
mechanical force on the screws. Also, multiple rod-bending procedures will reduce the
originalmechanicalstrengthofthemetallicimplant.
