Surgical Correction of Scoliosis

The Leading Edge of Spine Research and Advanced Surgical Technique

This animation demonstration of a revolutionary surgical hardware system and technique developed by Dr. Dennis Crandall of the Sonoran Spine Center in Phoenix, Arizona, USA.

This technique is identified by Campbell's Operative Orthopaedics as the "Crandall Method" for treating scoliosis, kyphosis, and spondylolisthesis.

Campbell's is a widely used resource for orthopedic surgery and "...an essential resource for the operative orthopedic surgeon." (— JAMA)

* The surgical technique shown is for illustrative purposes only. The technique(s) actually employed in each case will always depend upon the medical judgement of the surgeon exercised before and during surgery as to the best mode of treatment for each patient.
