Abstract
A modular implant system and method for dynamic stabilization of a spine segment that can be implanted in a minimally invasive posterior approach. In one embodiment, the implant device has an inferior body portion configured for fixation in a sacrum or ilium and a superior body portion configured for engaging one or more spinous processes to limit extension and optionally flexion while off-loading a spine segment. The implant system can be configured to stabilize a spine segment, re-distribute loads with the spine segment and still allow spine lateral bending and torsion. Besides being far less invasive than other procedures, the system and method is reversible and adjustable post-implant.
