VERTEBRAL STABILIZATION TRANSITION CONNECTOR

摘要

A transition connector of a vertebral stabilization system for connecting a rigid rod and a flexible cord to provide regions of rigid support and regions of dynamic support along a region of the spinal column is disclosed. A rigid rod may form one portion of the transition connector and a clam shell connector configured to receive a flexible cord may form another portion of the transition connector. The clam shell connector may be configured to be clamped around and secure the flexible cord.
