A polyaxial bone screw assembly includes a threaded shank body and a receiver having an upper channel for receiving a longitudinal connecting member and a lower cavity. The longitudinal connecting member assembly includes a tensioned cord and has hard, non-elastic sleeves for attachment to the bone anchors, at least one spacer located between the bone anchors, and in some embodiments, an end elastic bumper and cord blocker. A down-loadable friction fit split retaining ring having inner and outer tangs and an up-loadable shank upper portion cooperate to provide for pop- or snap-on assembly of the shank with the receiver.

In a medical implant assembly having two and up to a plurality of bone anchors cooperating with a longitudinal connecting member, the improvement wherein the connecting member comprises: a) a sleeve for attachment to a first bone anchor, the sleeve having a first through bore having a central axis and an outer structure, the bore extending through the outer structure, the outer structure having a first planar surface disposed parallel to the central axis, the outer structure sized and shaped for placement adjacent an outer surface of the first bone anchor;b) a spacer located between the two bone anchors, the spacer having a second through bore, the spacer engaging the sleeve outer structure, the spacer having an extended portion with a second planar surface engaging the sleeve first planar surface, prohibiting rotational movement of the extended portion with respect to the sleeve; andc) a tensioned cord slidingly received within the first and second through bores, the cord being in one of a fixed and slidable relation with respect to the sleeve. 6. The improvement of claim 5 wherein the sleeve is a first sleeve and further comprising a second sleeve for attachment to a second bone anchor, the second sleeve having a third through bore, the spacer engaging both the first and second sleeves, the tensioned cord slidingly received within the first, second and third through bores, the cord being in one of a fixed and slidable relation with respect to the first and second sleeves. 7. The improvement of claim 5, wherein one of the first and second sleeves includes an extension structure slidingly received over the cord and slidingly received within the spacer. 8. The improvement of claim 6, wherein one of the sleeves has an aperture formed therein sized and shaped to receive a portion of a closure top, the closure top portion being fixed against the cord. 9. The improvement of claim 5 wherein the first bone anchor has a compression insert and a closure top and wherein the sleeve has opposed extended portions, each portion having a top surface and a bottom surface, each bottom surface engaging the insert and each top surface engaging the closure top. 10. In a medical implant assembly having a pair of bone anchors cooperating with a longitudinal connecting member having a tensioned cord and a spacer located between the first and second bone anchors, the cord extending through the spacer, each of the bone anchors having a first pair of opposed upstanding arms, the improvement wherein: a) one of the bone anchors is a polyaxial bone anchor having a shank pivotable with respect to a receiver and a compression insert engaging the shank, the compression insert having a second pair of upstanding arms forming a channel, each insert arm having a top surface; andb) a sleeve for attachment to the polyaxial bone anchor, the sleeve having a body and a pair of opposed outer flanges, a first through bore sized and shaped for slidably receiving the tensioned cord, a first aperture formed in the sleeve body substantially transverse to the first through bore, the first aperture sized and shaped for receiving a portion of an optional cord gripping closure top, the sleeve body sized and shaped for being closely received within the insert channel and the flanges sized and shaped to be received outside the bone anchor first pair of upstanding arms, the flanges each having a first substantially planar outer surface substantially perpendicular to the first through bore and a second substantially planar surface substantially perpendicular to the first planar surface, both the first and second surfaces sized and shaped for engagement with the spacer, preventing rotation of the spacer with respect to the sleeve. 11. The improvement of claim 10 wherein the sleeve is a first sleeve and the polyaxial bone anchor is a first polyaxial bone anchor and further comprising: a) a second polyaxial bone anchor having a second shank pivotable with respect to a second receiver and a second compression insert engaging the second shank, the second compression insert having a third pair of upstanding arms forming a channel, each second insert arm having a top surface; andb) a second sleeve for attachment to the second bone anchor, the second sleeve having a second through bore sized and shaped for slidably receiving the tensioned cord, a second aperture formed in the sleeve substantially transverse to the second through bore, the second aperture sized and shaped for receiving a portion of a second optional cord gripping closure top. 12.
