Abstract
A device and a method for stabilizing lumbar and thoracic vertebra or individual bones in human spine or bone column is provided for the purpose of fixing a vertebra or individual bone with respect to other vertebra or individual bones and with respect to other parts of the spinal or bone column. While providing spinal stabilization, the stabilizer allows axial load sharing or construct dynamized action. The device allows the vertebra or individual bones to be held in compression allowing subsidence along the plate axis or to be fixed with respect to the plate for rigid stabilization. The vertebra or individual bones will be prevented from distraction by a stop lock clamp. The device may be configured as a fully or partially rigid system.
