Abstract:
A dynamic fixation medical implant having at least two bone anchors includes a longitudinal connecting member assembly having at least one transition portion and cooperating outer sleeve, both the transition portion and sleeve being disposed between the two bone anchors. The transition portion includes a rigid length or rod having apertures therein and a molded plastic length that extends through the apertures, thus attaching the plastic length to the rigid length. The sleeve surrounds the transition portion and extends between the pair of bone anchors, the sleeve being compressible in a longitudinal direction between the bone anchors.

Claim (Index 1):
A medical implant assembly comprising:\n a rigid segment attached to at least one of a first bone attachment structure or a second bone attachment structure; a flexible core member extending entirely through at least one of the first bone attachment structure or the second bone attachment structure, the flexible core member being pre-tensioned; a transition portion having an end portion and being at least partially disposed between the first bone attachment structure and the second bone attachment structure, the rigid segment and the flexible core member attached at the transition portion; and an outer flexible sleeve supporting at least a portion of the flexible core member, the outer flexible sleeve positioned entirely between the first bone attachment structure and the second bone attachment structure under compression and in any rotational position with respect to the transition portion when in an overlapping position with the end portion.
