Abstract:
A system for flexibly stabilizing a vertebral motion segment by connecting a first vertebra and a second vertebra is disclosed. The system includes an elongate connection element with end portions interconnected by a flexible coupling member. The system includes first and second attachment portions for connecting the connection element to the vertebrae. A first resilient member is positioned between the first end portion and the first attachment portion, and a second resilient member is positioned between the first attachment portion and the second attachment portion. The system is designed such that the second resilient member is compressed when the first and second attachment portions move towards each other, and the first resilient member is compressed when the first and second attachment portions extend away from each other.

Claim (Index 9):
A spine stabilization system comprising:\n a first endplate including a first spool having an upper clamp body and a lower clamp body, wherein the upper clamp body comprises a pair of downwardly extending arms, and each of the arms of the upper clamp body overlie an outer surface of the lower clamp body; a second endplate including a second spool; a plurality of modular rings that extend between the first endplate and the second endplate; at least one polycarbonate-urethane (PCU) ring disposed between two of the plurality of modular rings, wherein the at least one PCU ring is greater in length than each of the plurality of rings; a flexible cord that extends through the first endplate, second endplate and the plurality of modular rings; and a resiliently compressible member disposed over the cord and positioned adjacent an outer endplate of the first spool or an outer endplate of the second spool; and an end portion positioned adjacent to the resiliently compressible member, and a portion of the end portion extends into an opening in the resiliently compressible member.
