Abstract

This article reviews the evolution of spinal instrumentation in the pediatric age group, starting with the cervical spine and atlantoaxial area and ending with the lower spine. The congenital and the acquired conditions which require instrumentation are described. The technical details regarding pediatric instrumentation are alluded to, and finally an attempt is made to predict the future of spinal instrumentation in this age group.

Keywords: Future spine; Instrumentation; Pediatric spine.
