<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved dynamic spinal fixation device that provides a desired level of flexibility to the injured parts of the spinal column, while also providing long-term durability and consistent stabilization of the spinal column. <P>SOLUTION: The flexible spinal fixation apparatus having a flexible metallic connection unit for non-rigid stabilization of the spinal column. The fixation apparatus includes at least two securing members configured to be inserted into respective adjacent spinal pedicles, each securing member each including a coupling assembly. The fixation apparatus further includes a flexible metallic connection unit configured to be received and secured within the coupling assemblies of each securing member so as to flexibly stabilize the affected area of the spine. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
