Each longitudinal slot aligns with a spinal rod slot of the spinal rod holder to thereby allow easy placement of the spinal rod into the spinal rod holder.

Application to rachidian instrumentation.

The invention is applicable, in particular, to spinal osteosynthesis.

Spine fixation constructs are configured to receive and retain a spinal rod onto a vertebral bone screw.

Spinal stabilizing elements and spinal stabilization systems composed of spinal stabilizing elements in combination with disc prostheses or disc nucleus replacements are provided.

A spinal rod guide and/or guide assembly is provided for mounting a spinal rod onto a spinal rod holder/connector of a vertebral bone screw.

A spinal curvature treatment bag (1) and method of curing a spinal curvature using such a bag (1) is disclosed.

The present invention relates to an outrigger for securing a longitudinal spinal rod, preferably a horizontally offset spinal rod, with respect to a bone anchor.

Retention of the spinal rod (210) by the spinal rod holder (204) is also provided via the fixation member (206).

The present invention is directed an anchor assembly for use in spinal fixation to interconnect a longitudinal spinal rod with a patient's vertebra.

A spinal distraction system includes an adjustable spinal distraction rod having first and second members, the adjustable spinal distraction rod configured for non-invasive elongation of the first and second members.

The spinal stabilization plate can have a number of screw-holding sockets to facilitate attachment to spinal vertebra.

A spinal rod assembly may be formed by attaching an extension portion onto a spinal rod (R) that extends along a longitudinal axis.

A device and method for measurement of spinal mobility are provided for measuring spinal mobility.

The device can be used to treat spinal stenosis.

A dynamic spinal stabilization system.

Application in particular but not exclusively to osteosynthesis of the spinal column.

A method of manufacturing a curved spinal rod is disclosed.

In another aspect, a spinal rod is disclosed.

In one form, spinal rod retention is provided upon axial retention of the spinal rod holder (204) onto the bone screw (202) through cooperating action between the fixation mechanism (206) and the spinal rod holder (204).
