摘要： ABSTRACT Systems and methods for multi-directional stabilization of a spinal column segment (10) are provided. The systems (30, 130, 230, 330, 520) include one or more motion preserving constructs (32, 132, 230, 330, 530) that are engaged to adjacent vertebrae (12, 14) and extend trans-axially between the vertebrae (12, 14) obliquely to the central axis (11) of the spinal column. The systems permit motion of at least a portion of a vertebral level while providing stabilization at least when tensioned. Systems that provide stabilization in compression are also contemplated.

摘要： An implant assembly (30) for stabilizing a spinal motion segment includes a spacer member (32) positionable between adjacent spinous processes and upper and lower engaging members (50, 70) extending from the spacer member (32) . The upper and lower engaging members engage at least one lamina (16, 18) to resist flexion of the spinal motion segment.

摘要： An implant assembly for stabilizing a spinal motion segment includes a flexible spacer member positionable between adjacent transverse processes to dynamically limit movement of the upper and lower transverse processes toward one another upon extension of the spinal motion segment. The implant assembly may also include an engaging member positionable about one or more posterior elements of a spinal motion segment to secure the spacer member thereto.

摘要： The forces exerted on a spinal implant (60) by one or more coupling assemblies (10, 110, 210) are controlled to facilitate the use of the implant (60) in spinal stabilization and other procedures. The coupling assemblies (10, 110, 210) are structured to limit the forces exerted on the implant (60) to avoid undesirable alteration of a characteristic of the implant (60) while engaging the implant (60) to the coupling assembly (10, 110, 210) and providing at least one of a rigid, semi-rigid or variable engagement of the coupling assembly (10, 110, 210) with one or more anatomical structures of the spinal column.
