A novel system and method for use for ensuring appropriate positioning of a cable about bone portions, particularly, vertebral bone, for stabilization of the spine during spinal reconstructive and fusion procedures is disclosed. The system includes cabling uniquely adapted for spinal reconstruction processes, ligature passers and hook passers of varying sizes to facilitate looping of the cable about the spinal/vertebral bone, and a tensioning apparatus which secures the cable at a predetermined tensioned value about the vertebral bone. A novel method for applying a cable about vertebral bone for spinal stabilization is also disclosed.
