Not that I know of: Cd horizon is the name of the system you describe and it was supplied by sofamor danek. Medtronic now owns sofamor danek and cd horizon isn't used anymore to my knowledge due to advances in spinal technologies. It was an excellent system for thoracic deformities as it had a large hook system to use. No long term risk to having it in you- it worked very well.

Evolved: Well, that is an older spinal Instrumentation system and so there has been a gradual evolution of spinal instrumentation beyond that system; but many if the same principles from the “cd” instrumentation are still used today.
