Abstract:
Provided is a novel rod reducing device including a screw jack mechanism that is moveably engaged with an elongated grasping fork assembly, the screw jack mechanism having an elongated threaded portion, the elongated threaded portion being connected at its most distal end to a rod contact member, which is positioned in sliding circumferential contact with each of the two opposing elongated grasping members and the most proximal end of the elongated threaded portion terminating in a controlling member, which can be activated in a measured and controlled manner. A method of using the device is also provided.

Claim (Index 2):
A rod reducing device comprising:\n a fork assembly body defining a longitudinal axis and having a passage extending therethrough along the longitudinal axis thereof, the passage including internal threads; a first arm extending from a first side of the fork assembly body; a second arm extending from a second side of the fork assembly body, the second side different from the first side, the first and second arms configured to grasp a portion of a bone anchor therebetween; and an elongated threaded screw shaft having external threads thereon and rotatably coupled with the internal threads of the passage, wherein a rod contact member at a distal portion of the elongated threaded screw shaft is configured to engage a rod, the distal portion of the elongated threaded screw shaft and the rod contact member movable between the first and second arms in response to engagement of the threads of the elongated threaded screw shaft with the threads of the passage.
