Position pedicle hook
Pick up the pedicle hook as described on page 5 and 6.
Note:
Use a front-opening hook if a rod connector is re-
quired to connect the hook to the longitudinal rod.
Insert the hook positioner for USS II into the screw hole of
the pedicle hook and move the hook into the prepared posi-
tion.
Ensure that the pedicle hook is snug around the pedicle by
pushing the hook positioner axially and laterally. If it does not
move, the pedicle hook is correctly seated.
Gently tap the hook positioner with a hammer to firmly seat
the hook.
Remove the hook positioner and the handle. The stick re-
mains attached to the hook.
