Caution: When revisiting previously locked segments for
further manipulation, the Key Adjuster must be used if
loosening of the Rod Lock is required. The Key Adjuster
must be used to apply counter torque to the Poly Lock
while loosening the Rod Lock.
(FIGURE 58)
The Key Adjuster
must not be used to apply loosening or tightening of the
Correction Key, as failure of the instrument may occur.
Insert the X25 Inserter/Tightener into the Key Adjuster.
Engage the drive feature of the Poly Lock. While applying a
counter torque to the Poly Lock, loosen the Rod Lock with
the X25 Inserter/Tightener. Selectively loosen or tighten the
Rod Lock and apply compressive or distractive forces with
the Compressor or Distractor until desired translation of
the implant along the rod is achieved. This step does not
obviate the need for final tightening which is described in
the next section.
Optionally, the Rod Lock can also be final tightened
at this time using the Torque Limiting Handle
with counter torque instrumentation.
