Spinal Instrumentation
The use of hooks, rods, or wire for spinal surgery is called spinal instrumentation. These instruments help stabilize and strengthen the spine. Your surgeon will decide in each case which type of instrument to use. For example, one or more rods may be used to attach the bones of the spine together. Or, sometimes, rods are placed on each side of the spine and attached with hooks to the backbones.
