Abstract
A dynamic stabilization, motion preservation spinal implant system includes a deflection rod system implant. The system is modular so that various constructs and configurations can be created and customized to a patient.
Claims38
An implant adapted to be implanted in a spine comprising:
- a deflection rod system including a deflection rod;
- a bone anchor with a cavity, which cavity has an outer surface;
- said deflection rod system mounted in said bone anchor cavity;
- and
- a bone anchor thread which extends along said bone anchor and over the outer surface of said bone anchor cavity such that at least a portion of said deflection rod system is adapted to be implanted beneath the surface of a bone.

An implant adapted to be implanted in a spine comprising:
- a deflection rod system including a deflection rod;
- a bone anchor with a cavity, which cavity has an outer surface;
- said deflection rod system mounted in said bone anchor cavity;
- and
- said deflection rod of said deflection rod system is an inner rod and said deflection rod system includes an outer shell located about said inner rod and a shield with a shield cavity with said inner rod and said outer shell located in said shield cavity, said shield cavity limiting the deflection of said inner rod and said outer shell.
