Abstract:
A spinal fixation construct for aligning vertebral bodies includes a bone screw, a spinal rod, a flexible member, and a fixation member. The spinal rod is disposed within a saddle portion of a housing of the bone screw, and includes an elongated body having a first end and a second end. The spinal rod is formed from a first material having a first modulus of elasticity. The flexible member is coupled to the spinal rod, and includes an elongated body having a first end portion and a second end portion. The flexible member is formed from a second material having a second modulus of elasticity that is different from the first modulus of elasticity. The fixation member includes a threaded body portion and a head portion defining a hole therethrough. A portion of the flexible member extends through the hole of the head portion.

Claim (Index 1):
A spinal fixation construct for aligning vertebral bodies comprising:\n a fixation member including a head portion defining a hole therethrough and a threaded body portion extending from the head portion; a spinal implant including an implant housing having a rod passage and an implant passage defined therethrough; a spinal rod including an elongated body having a first end and a second end, a first portion of the spinal rod positioned within the rod passage of the spinal implant; and a flexible member including an elongated body having a first end portion, a second end portion, and a central portion disposed between the first and second end portions, the central portion extending through the hole of the head portion of the fixation member and at least one of the first or second end portions positioned within the implant passage of the spinal implant.
