    Abstract: Devices, kits, and methods for stabilizing the spine and replacing spinous processes removed during spine surgery are provided. The device has a suitable configuration to attach to both spine surgery hardware and to the paraspinal muscles and fascia. The device contains a muscle attachment portion, one or more connectors, and one or more cross connectors. Each cross connector contains a pair of connection portions configured to attach to hardware that is implanted in the spine, such as screw heads or rods. The muscle attachment portion contains a plurality of openings for the attachment of the paraspinal muscles and fascia. Following spine surgery, a surgeon attaches the device to the hardware implanted in the surgical site, and sutures the paraspinal muscles to the openings. Thus the device provides a direct attachment to the paraspinal musculature and fascia, and thereby stabilizes the spine.
