Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system for flexibly stabilizing a vertebral motion segment by connecting a first vertebra and a second vertebra is disclosed. The system includes an elongate connection element with end portions interconnected by a flexible coupling member. The system includes first and second attachment portions for connecting the connection element to the vertebrae. A first resilient member is positioned between the first end portion and the first attachment portion, and a second resilient member is positioned between the first attachment portion and the second attachment portion. The system is designed such that the second resilient member is compressed when the first and second attachment portions move towards each other, and the first resilient member is compressed when the first and second attachment portions extend away from each other.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A flexible connection element for connecting a first vertebra with respect to a second vertebra, comprising: an elongate body extending from a first end portion to a second end portion along a longitudinal axis, the first and second end portions connected by and fixed to a cord member, the cord member made from a nonmetal material, the elongate body comprising first and second attachment portions disposed coaxial with the cord member, the attachment portio…
