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 spinal implant system that is adapted to be mounted to a spine comprising:
- first and second anchors that are adapted to be secured to a spine;
- a first horizontal rod that is secured to the first and second anchors;
- a deflection rod system;
- a mount to mount the deflection rod system to the first horizontal rod;
- said deflection rod system including an inner rod and an outer shell;
- wherein said inner rod is elongated and said outer shell is elongated along the elongated inner rod;
- said deflection rod system includes at least one first end that is moveable relative to a second end in order to accommodate movement of a spine;
- at least one joint connection located at the first end of the deflection rod system;
- and
- a first vertical rod that is secured by said joint connection to said first horizontal rod.
