Abstract
A dynamic stabilization, motion preservation spinal implant system includes an anchor system, a horizontal rod system and a vertical rod system. The systems are modular so that various constructs and configurations can be created and customized to a patient.
Claims25
A spine implantation system comprising:
- an anchor system that is adapted to be secured to two vertebra of the spine;
- a first horizontal rod that can be connected to the anchor system;
- a first deflection rod that is mounted on the first horizontal rod;
- a second horizontal rod that can be connected to the anchor system;
- a vertical rod;
- a first connector that connects the vertical rod to the first deflection rod;
- a second connector that connects the vertical rod to the second horizontal rod;
- and
- at least one of the first and second connectors allows the vertical rod to move relative to the respective first deflection rod and the second horizontal rod.
