Claim 0:
1. A method for creating a hybrid assembly of a rod segment and a flexible synthetic tensile member, comprising:
(a) providing a rod segment having a first rod end and a second rod end, with said second rod end including a standard end feature;
(b) providing said synthetic tensile member made of a plurality of individual filaments, said synthetic tensile member having a synthetic tensile member end;
(c) providing an anchor, including,
(i) proximal region,
(ii) a distal region,
(iii) a potting cavity proximate said proximal region, wherein said potting cavity expands in a distal direction,
(iv) an extended distal wall,
(v) a cavity enclosed by said extended distal wall, said cavity proximate said distal region;

(d) placing a length of said filaments of said synthetic tensile member proximate said synthetic tensile member end into said potting cavity;
(e) infusing said length of filaments with a liquid potting compound;
(f) maintaining said length of filaments within said potting compound within said potting cavity until said liquid potting compound transitions to a solid, thereby creating a solidified potted region within said anchor;
(g) placing said first rod end within said cavity enclosed by said extended distal wall and distal to said solidified potted region; and
(h) swaging said extended distal wall inward against said first rod end in order to connect said anchor to said rod segment.
