Abstract: A bone anchoring system having a flexible member with a first end and a second end opposite the first end. A fastener provided at a first end of the flexible member for retaining the flexible member within a bone. A rigid member is provided to ensure movement or pull-through of the flexible member does not occur.
Abstract: Bone anchoring methods and systems employed by such methods. The bone anchoring methods involve implanting a vertebral adjustment system into a vertebral body of a patient. The vertebral adjustment system includes a flexible member and a tensioning mechanism coupled to the flexible member. The tensioning mechanism is capable of imparting a force on the flexible member to change the tension of the flexible member. The methods include the step of engaging the tensioning mechanism to the flexible member, enabling the flexible member to be tensioned and secured in place.
