  • Methods and devices for semi-rigid bone fixation
    Patent number: 11202667
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for the approximation of two bones, the apparatus including a first anchor that is rotationally driven into a first bone by a second bone anchor, which receives driving torque from a driver tool. After the first anchor is secured in the first bone, the second anchor is disengaged from the first anchor but remains connected to the first anchor by a flexible link of a designed length. The second bone anchor is secured in the second bone and has provisions to be lengthened or shortened to adjust the overall length of the implant, thereby adjusting the approximation between the two bones.
