Abstract:
A dynamic longitudinal connecting member assembly includes an anchor member having an integral or otherwise fixed elongate core of circular or non-circular cross-section. The core is pre-tensioned and extends through at least one elastic spacer and at least one outer sleeve. The anchor member and the outer sleeve each attach to at least one bone anchor. In operation, the core is held in tension by the spacer.

Claim (Index 1):
A medical implant assembly having a first bone attachment structure and a second bone attachment structure cooperating with a longitudinal connecting member, the longitudinal connecting member comprising:\n an anchor member having a rigid portion engageable to the first bone attachment structure and extending along a longitudinal axis; a flexible extension member extending from the rigid portion and being tensionable along the longitudinal axis; a compressible outer spacer positioned between the first bone attachment structure and the second bone attachment structure; a sleeve receiving the flexible extension member in slidable relation with the second bone attachment structure; and a stiff end structure having opposed tool engaging surfaces, the stiff end structure compressibly attachable to the flexible extension member, the stiff end structure holding the flexible extension member in tension.
