Patent abstract
A facet fixation system facilitates dynamic or static stabilization with few exposed components. A first anchor component is adapted for implantation through a facet joint and into intra-pedicle bone, and a second anchor component is adapted for fixation to the outer surface of the facet joint. A connector component connects the first and second anchor components. The connector component may be at least partially elastic, facilitating a dynamic stabilization of a facet joint, or rigid, facilitating a static stabilization of a facet joint.
