Abstract
An improved scaffold assembly for supporting any plurality of vertebrae, each of which including an inter-vertebral disc and articular processes. A plurality of combination socket anchors and insertable bone screws with enlarged heads are affixed to varied surface locations of at least one vertebral bone. In combination with the socket anchors, a rod extends between selected anchors for providing support between successive vertebrae. The socket anchors include crimping tabs to assist in engaging the rods thereto. The rods are further constructed of a bendable material which, upon being reconfigured, provide customized and scalable support for variations in vertebral orientation. The interiors of the socket anchors exhibit concave surfaces to permit angularly adjustability of the screws during affixation thereof. The socket anchors further include locking screws for engaging the insertable bone screws and can also include bone engaging prongs extending from underside locations, as well as providing multiple length adjustable engagement of the bone screw.
