Abstract

A surgical implant device that controls the relative movement between a first bone or tissue portion and a second bone or tissue portion. The device has a first connector member connected for movement with the first bone or tissue portion and a second connector member connected for movement with the second bone or tissue portion. A biasing member pivotally connects the first connector member to the second connector member and resists the relative rotation between the first connector member and the second connector member.
