- the invention includes a bone screw anchor including a swivel mechanism and a hook to provide a distributed load surface during reduction maneuvers.
- the hook is coupled to the vertebrae by a bone screw or a staple.
- the hook is maintained in a load-bearing orientation relative to the vertebrae by the relative placement of the hook, rod, and attaching cable.
- the bone screw, staple, or other fastening feature is optional.
- the hook is optional.
- the bone screw, staple, or other fastener includes a passageway to accept the flexible cable placed therethrough. The cable directly connects the fastener to the connector without the need for the hook.
- a surgical rod 22 (shown in section) follows a path chosen by a surgeon and substantially parallel to the spine.
- Apparatus 20 includes a bone screw 26 which is anchored into a vertebrae (not shown). Screw 26 is rotatably coupled at one end to a hook-shaped member 30 which is adapted and configured for receiving a portion of bone within the hook.
- a section of flexible cable 50 passes around one arm of member 30 and couples member 30 to rod 22. The ends of cable 50 are coupled to a connector 60 which preferably straddles a portion of rod 22. With appropriate tightening of cable 50, member 30 and bone screw 26 apply a load into the vertebrae sufficient to position the vertebrae proximate to rod 22.
- the extent to which cable 50 is tightened depends upon decisions by the surgeon. For example, in some embodiments of the present invention, there is a gap between rod 22 and hook 30, in contrast to the rod to hook contact depicted in FIG. 1. In these alternate embodiments, the surgeon can opt to provide limited tightening of cable 50 around rod 22. This limited tightening can take into account, for example, a decision on the part of the surgeon to move the selected vertebrae by a limited amount.
- the present invention contemplates embodiments in which cable 50 is tightened sufficiently to bring rod 22 snugly against a surface of hook 30 (which, in some embodiments of the present invention, causes the rod to cover at least a portion of the head), and also those embodiments in which a gap is maintained between rod 22 and surfaces of hook 30.
