摘要：
Insertion of a spinal stabilization element (10) into a patient generally includes positioning a cord (30) within a sheath (70) and inserting the sheath (70) and cord (30) through the patients body (12) along a path generally toward an anchor member 20, 22. An advancement member (84) may be mounted on the leading end of the cord (30) to further facilitate this insertion. The sheath (70) is then retracted to expose a first portion of the cord (30) within the patients body (12), and the first portion of the cord (30) is moved into a desired position relative to the anchor member (20, 22). After advancing a spacer (32) over the sheath (70) and cord (30), the sheath (70) is retracted to expose a second portion of the cord (90). The second portion of the cord (90) is then moved into a desired position relative to another anchor member such that the spacer (32) is positioned between the two anchor members.
