Welcome to Ortho Time Machine episodes where we explore pivotal moments and game-changing innovations in orthopaedic surgery. In this episode, we’ll journey through the life and legacy of Dr. Paul Harrington, whose work in spinal instrumentation changed the field forever.





You’ve probably heard of the Harrington Rod. It was the first widely successful spinal implant, designed to treat severe scoliosis and spinal deformities. But the story of how it came to be, and the man behind it, is as remarkable as the device itself.





Before Dr. Harrington’s innovation, scoliosis was often managed with rigid body casts, prolonged bed rest, and traction. These methods were not only uncomfortable but also largely ineffective for severe cases. It was clear that a transformative solution was needed.  





Enter the ingenuity and unwavering commitment of Dr. Harrington. Let’s dive in.
