Abstract: In one embodiment, a spinal tethering system includes multiple bone anchors each configured to be secured to a vertebra of the spine, a tether configured to connect and apply tension to the bone anchors for the purpose of modulating growth of the spine, and a clutch mechanism configured to selectively release the tether to enable adjustment of the tether and, therefore, adjustment of the tension that the tether applies to the bone anchors.
