Abstract:
An orthopedic implant system is disclosed for use in correcting or reducing the progression of scoliosis. The orthopedic implant system can be inserted laterally or posteriorly and comprises an elongated flexible member secured to a user's spinal column via a plurality of vertebral body screws. Typically, the height of the elongated flexible member is significantly greater than the width, creating a flattened cross-sectional aspect. The vertebral body screws comprise a screw base and a screw head with a slot sized to accept an insert. Typically, the elongated flexible member is positioned within the slot via the insert, and is allowed to slide within the screw head as needed, as the user moves. However, at the apex of the user's scoliosis curve, the elongated flexible member is fixed within a vertebral body screw head.

Claim (Index 17):
The orthopedic implant device of  claim 16 , wherein the screw heads of the vertebral body screws associated with the non-locking inserts disposed proximate the end tips of the elongated, elastically bendable beam are configured to cover the end tips of the elongated, elastically bendable beam.
