A spinal management system includes a stabilizing member adapted to extend substantially longitudinally along a target region of a spine tending to exhibit a defective curvature and a set of stabilizing anchors adapted for fixation to vertebrae and to receive the stabilizing member to secure the stabilizing member against substantial transverse translation relative to the vertebrae. The system also includes a first correction anchor adapted for fixation to a vertebra, a second correction anchor adapted for fixation to a vertebra, and a connection between the stabilizing member and the first correction anchor and between the first and second correction anchors adapted such that when the connection is tensioned a compressive force is selectively exerted between the first and second correction anchors.

The system of claim 1, wherein the connection is formed using at least one substantially flexible connector. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the connection is formed by a flexible connector adapted to extend from the stabilizing member toward the spine to the first correction anchor and from the first correction anchor to the second correction anchor. 4.

The system of claim 1, wherein the connection between the stabilizing member and the first correction anchor is adapted to exert at least one of a lateral translational and a rotational force on the target region when tensioned. 10. The system of claim 1, wherein the set of stabilizing anchors are adapted for securing the stabilizing member adjacent a first side of the spine and the first and second correction anchors are adapted for applying the compressive force on a second side of the spine generally opposite the first side of the spine. 11. The system of claim 10, wherein the first side of the spine generally corresponds to a concave aspect of the defective curvature and the second side generally corresponds to a convex aspect of the defective curvature. 12. The system of claim 1, wherein the first correction anchor includes a head adapted to be secured into a vertebra and an arm adapted to extend across a vertebra, the head being coupled with the arm such that the first correction anchor is substantially rigid. 13. The system of claim 12, wherein the first correction anchor is adapted to extend across a posterior side of the first vertebra. 14. The system of claim 12, wherein the arm is adapted to be secured to a second vertebral body location. 15. The system of claim 1, further comprising a third correction anchor for fixation to a vertebra, such that the second and third correction anchors are opposingly positioned relative to the first correction anchor, wherein the stabilizing member is connected to the third correction anchor such that when a connection between the stabilizing member and the third correction anchor is placed in tension a compressive force is exerted on the target region between the first and third correction anchors. 16. The system of claim 15, wherein the connection between the stabilizing member and the third correction anchor is formed using a substantially flexible connector adapted to extend from the stabilizing member toward the spine to the first correction anchor and from the first correction anchor to the third correction anchor. 17. The system of claim 15, further comprising a tensioner adapted to tension both the connection between the stabilizing member and the second correction anchor and the connection between the stabilizing anchor and the third correction anchor. 18.
