Impressive clinical reports have come from several major spinal research centers regarding the results of using the AO spinal internal fixator, a recently released pedicle screw rod system. A retrospective review of the first 2 years of clinical results from a diverse group of orthopedic surgeons using this device at a Canadian University center may provide some insight into potential clinical outcomes in general use. These results contrast with the outcome data provided to date, which have been presented by expert academic spinal surgeons. The results suggest that there may be room for considering limited release of this device, perhaps with the requirement for special certification in its application.
来自几个主要脊柱研究中心的令人印象深刻的临床报告，内容涉及使用AO脊柱内固定器（一种最近推出的椎弓根螺钉棒系统）的结果。对加拿大一所大学中心不同骨科医生使用该设备的前两年临床结果进行回顾性研究，可能会为其在一般使用中的潜在临床结果提供一些见解。这些结果与迄今为止由脊柱外科专家提供的结果数据形成对比。结果表明，或许可以考虑有限制地放开该设备的使用，可能在其应用方面需要特殊认证。
