Abstract
A system and method for reducing spondylolisthesis. The system includes a bracket comprising a first opening and a second opening, a first and second rod, and a first and second knob. The system may be placed onto a patient's back, the rods may be inserted through the first opening and the second opening and further into a first vertebral part and a second vertebral part. Tightening of a first knob and a second knob on the first and second rod allow for repositioning of the vertebra. Once repositioned, an interspinous implant may be inserted into the interspinous process space, connecting the vertebrae.
