System for corrective spinal surgery and method of use

A pedicle screw locking system comprising:

• a rod reduction assembly including a pair of grips extending from a housing, the housing having a longitudinal passage therethrough and each grip of the pair of grips having a finger adjacent a distal end thereof configured to engage a receiver of a pedicle screw;
• and
• a locking driver including a locking shaft defining a proximal end and a distal end thereof, the distal end of the locking shaft including a threaded portion and a blunt tip extending from the threaded portion, the locking shaft insertable through the longitudinal passage of the rod reduction device and the threaded portion configured to engage threads on the pedicle screw such that when the threaded portion engages the pedicle screw threads, the blunt tip locks the pedicle screw engaged by the pair of grips.

A pedicle screw locking system comprising:

• a pedicle screw including a shank, a receiver moveable relative to the shank and configured to receive a spinal rod, and threads configured to receive a set screw to secure a spinal rod within the receiver and lock the pedicle screw such that the shank and the receiver are fixed relative to one another;
• and
• a locking shaft defining a proximal end and a distal end thereof, the distal end of the locking shaft including a threaded portion and a blunt tip extending from the threaded portion, the threaded portion threadably coupled to the threads of the receiver of the pedicle screw, the blunt tip engaging the shank of the pedicle screw to lock the pedicle screw when the threaded portion is threadably coupled to the receiver.

A locking driver comprising:

• a locking shaft defining a proximal end and a distal end thereof, the distal end of the locking shaft including a threaded portion and a blunt tip extending from the threaded portion, the threaded portion configured to threadably couple the locking shaft to a receiver of a pedicle screw and the blunt tip configured to engage a shank of the pedicle screw to lock the pedicle screw.
