A device for dynamic stabilization of bones or bone fragments comprising:
- at least one anchor member for attachment to vertebrae having an opening configured to receive a longitudinal member;
- the longitudinal member being viscoelastically deformable and having a predetermined bending resilience, the longitudinal member having a peripheral surface and comprises
- a biocompatible plastics material, and a metal armoring at least partially embedded within the biocompatible plastics material, the metal armoring comprises at least three metal rods extending parallel to the longitudinal member.
A device for dynamic stabilization of bones or bone fragments comprising:
- First and second anchor members for attachment to first and second vertebrae having an opening configured to receive a portion of a longitudinal member;
- and
- the longitudinal member being viscoelastically deformable and having a predetermined bending resilience, the longitudinal member comprising
- a biocompatible plastic rod and a metal band helically wound around the plastic rod, the metal band embedded in the plastic rod such that the metal band forms with the plastic rod a continuously smooth surface, the metal band including a plurality of interruptions which are filled with a biocompatible plastic material.
