Abstract
A tensioned cord (208) formed into a closed loop is secured to adjacent bone structures (201, 203), and a flexible patch (236) is secured to the cord in tension so that the combined, predetermined tension is applied between the adjacent bones structures (201, 203). The tensioned cord (203) and patch (236) may be used with or without a fusion implant device (206) in order to, in the former instance, contribute to compressive forces applied to the fusion device by the surrounding bone structures. The patch (236) may also be used as a delivery medium for a substance such as bone graft (241).
