Abstract
A spinal implant for immobilizing the Cvertebra with respect to the Cvertebra of the spine provides controlled coupling between the Cand Cvertebrae, and includes a Ccomponent attachable to the Cvertebra, two Ccomponents attachable to the Cvertebra, and a transverse element. The Ccomponent has two wings each of which retains a rod holder that rotates and translates for capturing a Ccomponent rod. Each Ccomponent has a hook for connection with a side of the Cvertebra lamina and a rod for attachment to one of the rod holders of the Ccomponent. Each Ccomponent receives and secures the transverse connector which holds position of the Ccomponents relative to one another. Each Ccomponent may include a plate configured for compression against the Cvertebra spinous process, with each plate including spikes to aid in preventing construct migration.
