title: Nylon sublaminar straps in segmental instrumentation for spinal disorders.
abstract: A new modification of segmental spinal instrumentation is in an early stage of research and development. Preliminary evidence is most encouraging with respect to the advantages of the relative safety of insertion of the nylon strap around the neural arch. The facility with which the insertion and tightening of the strap can be employed reduces the operation time significantly.
