A spinal management system includes a stabilizing member(12) adapted to extend substantially longitudinally along a target region ofa spine tending to exhibit a defective curvature and a set of stabilizinganchors(14A, 14B) adapted for fixation to vertebrae and to receive the stabilizingmember to secure the stabilizing member against substantial transversetranslation relative to the vertebrae. The system also includes a firstcorrection anchor (18B) adapted for fixation to a vertebra, a secondcorrectionanchor (18A) adapted for fixation to a vertebra, and a connection(22C) between the stabilizing member and the first correction anchor andbetween the first and second correction anchors adapted such that when theconnection is tensioned a compressive force is selectively exerted betweenthe first and second correction anchors.
