TL;DR: A dynamic spinal stabilization apparatus comprises a stabilization device such as a rod or a plate as discussed by the authors, which provides relative movement between the devices to allow spinal flexion and extension, initially constrained by degradable materials, such as resorbable material, to allow and screws to fuse to the associated bone.

Abstract: A dynamic spinal stabilization apparatus comprises a stabilization device such as a rod or a plate. Elongated bores, interfaces, or terminations packed with elastic material provides relative movement between the devices to allow spinal flexion and extension. Initially, relative movement may be constrained by a degradable materials, such as a resorbable material, to allow and screws to fuse to the associated bone.
