Background technique [0002] Spinal disorders and diseases such as scoliosis and other curvature abnormalities, kyphosis, degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, osteoporosis, spondylolisthesis, stenosis, tumors and fractures can result from injuries and aging including trauma, disease and degenerative disease factors. Disorders of the spine often result in symptoms including deformation, pain, nerve damage and partial or complete loss of mobility.
