Abstract
A detection and indication device for the detection and indication of the presence or absence of a stabilization bar in the tulip head of a pedicle screw includes a housing. The housing is adjusted in such a way that it can be connected with elongated flanks of the pedicle screw or a downtube coupled to the pedicle screw in a detachable manner. A detection bar can be mounted axially movable in the housing. The relative positioning of the detection bar to the housing indicates a detection result. A system for spinal stabilization includes at least one pedicle screw with a tulip head and elongated flanks or a downtube coupled to the pedicle screw, at least one stabilization bar and a detection and display device.
