Abstract
The radiologist is faced with continual changes in both surgical techn iques and instrumentation for the spine. To properly evaluate radiogra phic and special imaging studies, it is necessary to have a working kn owledge of the devices used and the principles that direct their use. This article discusses the identification and function of the most com mon instrumentation in the thoracic, lumbar, and lumbosacral spine.
