  • Publication number: 20220233217
    Abstract: Implementations described herein include devices and systems for attenuation of increased spinal flexion loads post-fusion that include a transition member. The transition member may have a tension component coupleable to a fused vertebra of a plurality of fused vertebra of a fusion implant and to an adjacent unfused vertebra. The tension component may be tensionable to a selected value. The tension component may modulate a flexion range of motion of the adjacent unfused vertebra as a function of the selected value of tension of the tension component. The transition member may attenuate spinal flexion loads on adjacent unfused vertebra post-operatively.
    Type: Application
