Abstract:
A method may include inserting, through a slotted cannula, a first anchor assembly into a first spinal segment. The first anchor assembly may be attached to a suture at a first end of the suture. The method may include inserting, through the slotted cannula, a second anchor assembly into a second spinal segment. The method may include extruding, through the slotted cannula, a graft construct to permit the graft construct to extend from the first spinal segment to the second spinal segment. The graft construct may be connected to the suture. The method may include attaching, using the slotted cannula, a second end of the suture to the second anchor assembly to permit a spinal fusion of the first spinal segment and the second spinal segment using the graft construct.
