Abstract
A three-dimensional correction of the curvatures of the spine, for reducing spinal deformities, such as scoliosis, uses a pair of pedicle screws placed on each of the spinal vertebrae of the spine to be corrected, in combination with alignment elongated members or extenders temporally fixed by a proximate portion and associated with corrective rods engaged with the extenders, running along a transverse plane. Each of the corrective rods provides implant rods.
