    • In one embodiment, a spinal fixation assembly includes an elongated member, such as a spinal rod, configured for placement adjacent the spine and a bone engaging fastener, such as a bone screw having a lower portion configured for engaging a vertebra and a head that is at least partially spherical. The assembly further includes a receiver member defining a bore therethrough from a top end to a bottom end, a recess for receiving the head of the bone screwing fastener therein, and a lower opening at said bottom end of the receiver member through which the bone screw extends. The recess is configured to at permit pivoting of the bone screw within the receiver member until the head is fixed within the recess. The receiver member also includes a channel communicating with the bore and having an upper opening at the top end of the receiver member for insertion of the spinal rod into the channel. In one embodiment, two compression members are provided, each being formed of a temperature responsive material and having a first configuration at a first temperature and a different second configuration at a different second temperature in which the compression member contracts about a portion of the receiver member to thereby compress the receiver member about both the head of the bone screw within the recess and the spinal rod within the channel.

    • An improved apparatus is provided to allow for an adjustable length tether (10) for use in the spine and other parts of the body. The tether (10) comprises an artificial strand (11) with an eyelet (23) formed in one end (13), the other end (15) being looped through the eyelet (23). The other end (15) is then secured with respect to the eyelet (23) by a crimp (50), the excess length being cut off after the length of the tether (10) has been given an appropriate tension. Alternatively, the eyelet end (13) may be formed around a grommet (123). The crimp (50) may be separate from the grommet (123) or a part of the grommet (123). The mechanism by which the length is adjusted in some cases will take advantage of the shape memory properties of alloys such as nickel-titanium.
    • 提供了一种改进的装置,以允许用于脊柱和身体的其他部分的可调整长度的系绳(10)。 系绳(10)包括具有形成在一端(13)中的孔眼(23)的人造股线(11),另一端(15)穿过孔眼(23)成环。 然后通过卷边(50)将另一端(15)相对于孔眼(23)固定,在系绳(10)的长度已经被施加适当的张力之后,剩余长度被切断。 或者,孔眼端部(13)可以围绕垫圈(123)形成。 卷边(50)可与护环(123)或护环(123)的一部分分离。 在某些情况下调整长度的机制将利用镍 - 钛等合金的形状记忆特性。
